New paper (with @TitanAlon, @SenaCoskun11, @david__koll, @TertiltMichele) on the impact of the pandemic recession on women's employment in 28 countries:

It's a "shecession" almost everywhere, and childcare and industry/occupation effects are only part of the story.

Looking forward to speaking tomorrow morning about joint work with @mdoepke @TitanAlon and @janeor_econ

@arindube Why is Tucker Carlson not an option?

[Titan Alon @TitanAlon]

Great interview by @TertiltMichele with BBC about unique gender/family economics dimensions of our current crisis. An accessible and informative read!

BBC article on "Why this recession disproportionately affects women" -- citing my research with @mdoepke @janeor_econ and @TitanAlon

[Matthias Doepke @mdoepke]

So in our research (with @janeor_econ, @TertiltMichele, and @TitanAlon) we argue that the Covid shock may ultimately erode gender barriers in the labor market.

So far, the Covid-19 recession has been a clear setback for gender equality.

But what about the long run?

One important force to consider: a large rise in the number of fathers who are primary caregivers to their children.

Vote. QED.

Here’s the clip. Absolutely reprehensible.

@econoflove A market failure!

[Titan Alon @TitanAlon]

Couldn’t agree more!

[Guido Lorenzoni @guido_lorenzoni]

Jane can do it all! Her JMP is a beautiful model of effects of market power on innovation, her work with Ana Danieli is on sectoral effects of the Covid shock https://t.co/4EYvCR8tP5, her work with @TitanAlon, @mdoepke, @TertiltMichele is on its effects on women's work. Amazing!

Different labor market models at work during the pandemic:

Marriage matters but I suspect parenthood matters more - married women are much more likely to have school-age children, and hence held back from labor market by school closures.

Great work from a fantastic JM candidate linking the rise in concentration to the productivity slowdown

Ok, listen up, everyone, Esther Duflo just said "Referees need to be more positive. This is just a paper in the AER , it's not some divine piece coming down! I am limited by the number of positive reports I get not by space available in the journal"

[Titan Alon @TitanAlon]

For those still trying to understand the appeal of Trump’s bluster, an old insight from Pushkin...

“A deception that elevates us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths”

Seems especially relevant this political season. Perhaps times really do change, but not that much...

For today's newsletter, I wrote about the effect of COVID on gender inequality, highlighting research by @BarbaraBoelmann, @janeor_econ, @TertiltMichele, @TitanAlon & @mdoepke + a podcast w/@rmarchiel that made me way nostalgic for her history lessons https://t.co/gB2kTXFV7P

@mdoepke's research, "Why Did Hundreds of Thousands of Women Drop Out of the Workforce?"

@paulg @ThomasPHI2 Is it’s because of improving the placement of the panels or something more fundamental about the technologies?
