EFFORT Project

Investigating the role of socioeconomic differences in cognitive effort.
PI: Jonas Radl. Funded by @ERC_Research.

Key findings: 📍 Cumulative ozone exposure in the 2 months before a test is negatively associated with cognitive ability. 📍 Little evidence of a relationship between air pollution and cognitive effort. 📍 Effects are similar across children from different social backgrounds.

New EFFORT Paper by María and Jonas on air pollution and children's test performance!

📊 Using data from fifth-grade students in Madrid and Berlin, we examine how air pollution affects cognitive ability and cognitive effort.

El principal resultado es que los y las escolares de familias privilegiadas muestran un mayor esfuerzo cognitivo que los de entornos desfavorecidos, sobre todo cuando no existe recompensa.

Si no me va a servir para nada, ¿para qué me voy a esforzar? 🤷

Key result: socioeconomic gaps in effort favor privileged children but are modest in size and can be substantially reduced with incentives.

The EFFORT team knows that hard work pays off. Our project began in 2018, and the central findings have now been published in the American Sociological Review!

We find that parental support is a strong driver of personality differences between adolescent siblings, although this effect wanes in early adulthood.

Our evidence from Germany shows that the personality of siblings differs a lot in adolescence.
Curiously, children from the same family become more similar in early adulthood.

New #inequality paper!

I find that rising inequality in the U.S. links with wider socio-economic gaps in what -and how much- economic support parents give to young adults 👵👴➡️👨‍🦱

Very happy to see this out in @SF_Journal:
