🔍 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

How do public managers respond to wage caps?
We show that a 2014 cap in Italy pushed high-ability managers towards private companies. Responses were stronger for executives of state-owned firms.
See the @RF_Berlin Insight below for a summary, and a link to the full paper

Can salary caps save public money without driving away talent?
Research by Di Porto, Dustmann, Giannetto and Incoronato on Italy’s public-sector salary cap finds affected managers were 5pp more likely to leave for the private sector, while average managerial quality fell 2%.

With @matteo_sartori_ and @MarcoGPalladin1 we study fixed-term contracts in Italy. They are valuable for firms that operate under high uncertainty. At the same time, these firms are, on average, less productive. A well-known trade-off—we make it visible in the data 1/2

With my great co-authors at @CenTaxUK, we have built a matched worker-to-firm database for the UK: the Business-to-Worker Register.
It covers the universe of UK workers (not just employees) and all UK organisations (not just employers, corporations or private sector).

At @SOLE_Labor_Econ 2019, @san_muly and I met for the first time. Both graduate students, both with a JMP about first jobs.
We started working on our paper on FSU immigrants and firms in Israel shortly after.
7 years later it is wonderful to see it come out @JEEA_News 🙏

Work-from-home:
◾️ reduces the child penalty
◾️ increases fertility
In a new working paper using rich Italian administrative data, we show evidence of both effects.
See the next tweet for a short summary. Comments very welcome

• remote work
• labor market flexstability
• digital work platforms
• local communities
• targeted welfare
Research by @I_Am_NickBloom and recent work by @salva_lat suggests that remote work can positively affect fertility and reduce the motherhood/child penalty.
Salvatore Lattanzio retweeted
Economists understand the first major decline in fertility in advanced economies, from 6 or 7 children per woman throughout most of human history to about 1.8, that occurred between the early 1800s and roughly 1970, well before smartphones.
