Sidenote: always strange when bosses say they have worker shortages...

If raising wages doesn't help, then bosses have a LOT of monopsony power and so are really exploiting workers.

And if it does help... the "labour shortage" is likely just the boss paying badly!

#MobilohneAuto? In Amsterdam kein Problem. Fast die Hälfte (48 %) der Bevölkerung Amsterdams nutzt ohnehin das #Fahrrad als Hauptverkehrsmittel. In Berlin gilt das für 25 % der Bevölkerung. Mehr zur Fahrradnutzung im EU-Vergleich: https://t.co/dzAD2BRSLj #MobilohneAutoTag

Every October, all professors and PhD students of the Research Training Group "RTG 2484 - Regional Disparities & Economic Policy" come together for a research retreat. Here are some impressions of this year's retreat in Hattingen. For further information: https://t.co/PbXuYj0MCU

Check out our new discussion paper; joint with Marie Paul! Using German administrative data, we study the career effects of long-distance moves for both partners of married couple and present evidence for strong gender asymmetries.

Here is a 🧵:

[CBS Department of Economics @CBS_ECON]

One of my research projects @IsmirMulalic with @MJBorghorst and Jos van Ommeren shows that gender differences regarding commuting play an important role in explaining gender wage gap. We offer 3 pieces of evidence, see below #GenderPayGap 1/5

[Malte Borghorst @MJBorghorst]

This is the graphic that inspired me to look into gender commuting differentials as a transmission mechanism of an unequally shared household burden into the labor market.
Turns out only women are affected:

This is what happens to women’s careers in Denmark after the first child arrives. All over the world, pay for women diminishes while men remain essentially unaffected, explains the LSE's @landais_camille. #childpenalty #EqualPayDay #GenderPayGap @melindagates @LSEnews

@benceboko @EliseStenholt @hybel_jesper @DLyngemark @DataDotOrg Congratulations! You rock!

[Diego Puga @ProfDiegoPuga]

Women commute less than men. Using French admin search data, @tlebarbanchon, @rolandrathelot & @alexandraroulet show in @QJEHarvard women accept lower wages than men to work closeby. Worker, not employer, driven. Accounts for 14% of residualised gender gap https://t.co/Ut7mHopHsC

[Malte Borghorst @MJBorghorst]

Was ist relevant ist für das Verständnis der #GenderPayGap und was ist „weg-erklären“:

Viele Entscheidungen im Arbeitsleben (z.B. TZ, Branche, Führungsanspruch,...) sind Teil der strukturellen Ungleichheit im Arbeitsmarkt und sollten daher nicht als Erklärung für die GPG gelten.

[Statistisches Bundesamt @destatis]

#GenderPayGap: Frauen haben im Jahr 2019 in Deutschland durchschnittlich 19 % weniger verdient als Männer. Der Verdienstunterschied lag damit erstmals unter 20 %. Mehr dazu: https://t.co/b7egvhGAnr #GPG

Here's a creative urban policy idea:

Berlin officials are considering parking fees that scale with automobile size. An owner of an SUV could pay €500/year, 10x as much as a smart car.
