Which cultural values drive global divides?

To understand inequality and polarization, we need to focus on where societies differ most—not where they’re becoming similar.

Our new study @NatureComms points to one factor above all: religion.

Jeg har skrevet en kronik om Underskud af @emma_holten

Bogen stiller et godt spørgsmål. Men der er simpelthen fortaget så mange besynderlige valg…

[Francesco Cinnirella @fcinnio]

Very happy that our paper with Q. Ashraf, @GalorOded, B. Gershman and @HornungErik is forthcoming at @RevEconStudies. We propose the complementarity between physical capital and effective labor as a mechanism to explain the decline of coercive labor institutions.

We've updated our paper that analyzes how changes in local social structures helped the US become a global innovation hub.

@JoHenrich has highlighted the key takeaways.

Below are some extra insights and shout-outs.

[Esther Chevrot-Bianco @estherbianc]

Happy that this work won the Austin Robinson Memorial Prize @EJ_RES!

Do economic markets bring the best or the worst of us? It seemed like a crazy idea to tackle this age-old question in the first year of the PhD, and I am honored that other people find it valuable today!
