By trawling through the archives and compiling and correcting historical data, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has been able to present new and often surprising facts. She has also given us a deeper understanding of the factors that affect women’s opportunities in the labour market and how much their work has been in demand.

The fact that women’s choices have often been, and remain, limited by marriage and responsibility for the home and family is at the heart of her analyses and explanatory models. Goldin’s studies have also taught us that change takes time, because choices that affect entire careers are based on expectations that may later prove to be false.

Her insights reach far outside the borders of the US and similar patterns have been observed in many other countries. Her research brings us a better understanding of the labour markets of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Here’s a journal to get behind. The new editor of Biodemography & Social Biology, Hiroaki Matsuura, is keen to address the journal’s past - it was set up in 1916 as Eugenical News - to make sure future research is “epistemically & ethically responsible” https://t.co/sFBWxs2Rhr

Top 10 regions with the most confirmed cases of COVID-19 since it was first introduced into Schengen Area. Top 10 regions were selected as of March 25. https://t.co/5oB78oGGwe

[Hiroaki Matsuura @Muppy_e]

I just constructed a sub-national panel data of COVID-19 confirmed cases in Schengen countries. The data on March 25th still shows that there is a large provincial disparity within each country.

[Hiroaki Matsuura @Muppy_e]

For Denmark, Czech, and Greece, the data only goes back to March 20th. No regional data is available in Malta, Luxembourg, and Hungary. For Latvia, regional data are available at daily basis, but only with ranges.
