Dating your boss comes with risks and rewards.

New research from Finland shows subordinates' earnings rise 6% after starting a relationship with their manager but fall 18% after a breakup.

Unsurprisingly, it also hurts team morale and retention.

On the #EconJobMarket !
🚨 JMP alert ✈

How do firms respond to the removal of a technology?

In my #JMP I exploit the ban of the Boeing 737MAX as a natural experiment using novel data. I find heterogenous price increases driven by capacity contraints.
