New research shows that #inflation affects workers' #wellbeing beyond its impact on real #wages . As prices rise, #workers must fight for raises, creating #ConflictCosts that more than double inflation's effect on their well-being. #LaborEconomics #FutureOfWork

Pronoun Disclosure and Hiring Discrimination: A Resume Audit Study http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:tor:tecipa:tecipa-766&r=exp
"Strong evidence is found that disclosing “they/them” pronouns reduces positive employer response, an estimated 66% to 70% of #discrimination is found to be rooted in their nonbinary gender identity rather than the act of pronoun disclosure more generally."

"The data and research show well-managed work from home can raise and maintain productivity, while cutting costs and raising profits.

It keeps employees happy, reduces pollution by cutting billions of commuting miles, and supports millions of employees with care and disability challenges in work. Indeed, what is not to like?"

Delighted to be presenting a big update, for the first time today at @georgemasonu, to our research on the effect of less-than-high-school immigrant employment on US firms and workers.

We use naturally randomized allocation of immigrant employment. Summary thread of the original paper last year—> https://econtwitter.net/@m_clem/109383474914893115

Update in writing coming soon!
#laboreconomics #immigration @laborecon

There’s a new, definitive book on the economic history of US #immigration over the past century.

Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan have given us a myth-cracking and enduring work based on their own top research. My review is out today in #TheUnpopulist —> https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/a-landmark-study-debunks-populist #laboreconomics

CAREER: Transfer Learning for Economic Prediction of Labor Sequence Data
https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.08370
…forms accurate predictions of job sequences on 3 widely-used economics datasets.
…find that CAREER can be used to form good predictions of other downstream variables; incorporating CAREER into a wage model provides better predictions than the econometric models currently in use.

Hi All,
I am a PhD Candidate at UNC, Greensboro. I am on the job market this season. In my job market paper "City Limits: Exploring the relationship between employment and minimum wages using mobile-device location data" [1/8]#econtwitter #laboreconomics #introduction #jmp

“How firms adjust when they cannot hire foreigners for low-skill work”

Thank you IZA for featuring a nice synopsis of my new research with Ethan Lewis, based on randomized allocation of the United States’ principal low-skill work visa —>

I have started a spreadsheet of accounts of potential interest to those working on, or active in, #IndustrialRelations / #EmploymentRelations / #SocialDialogue.

E.g. researchers on #LaborLaw, #LaborEconomics, #Sociology, #OSHA, #TradeUnion officers, policy think tanks, tripartite EU bodies, etc.

Additions most welcome (reply or DM)! You can also download and import the CSV-version (second sheet).

#Introduction

I'm an #economist of the #laboreconomics variety. I study #unemployment, the #EITC, wage determination, #inequality, and #education (both #k12 and postsecondary).

I am a professor of public policy and economics at #Berkeley, where I'm also the faculty director of the California Policy Lab. I have affiliations with #NBER, #IZA, #CESifo, etc. Formerly chief economist at USDOL, senior economist at CEA.

I don't post a lot but occasionally post long threads about policy.

Guess hashtags are actually important here
