🔍 Hiring committees tend to favour candidates whose research resembles their own.
🎓 This “similarity bias” shapes who gets tenure-track jobs.
🚧 Women, having less research overlap with male-dominated committees, face extra barriers.
Have a look at our published paper

Latest version! Using an Italian reform that expanded leave benefits, we find strong workplace peer effects: when peer dads take leave, coworkers who will become dads are more likely to do the same. And their partners’ labour market outcomes improve too. 💼👶
🆕 RFBerlin Discussion Paper!
@alecasarico, @edoardodiporto, Joanna Kopinska, & @salva_lat study workplace peer effects in fathers’ take-up of parental leave, showing that coworkers’ choices strongly influence men’s decisions.

Oggi è l'ultimo giorno di @alecasarico al timone de @lavoceinfo. Grazie mille, Alessandra, per il lavoro di questi 5 anni. Non era facile raccogliere l'eredità di Francesco Daveri e tu lo hai fatto benissimo. Da domani tocca a @monacelt a cui vanno i migliori auguri.
New working paper out!🙂 And I could not present it better than @salva_lat did in the thread below.
Do coworkers taking parental leave influence your own decision to take it?
In a @CESifoNetwork new working paper with @alecasarico, @edoardodiporto & J. Kopinska, we find: yes, they do.
