Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs shows how easily pseudonymous users can now be re-identified from unstructured text alone. When discussing our EJMR paper at NBER SI 2023 Catherine Tucker argued that rising compute would soon erode online anonymity. The future may already be here.

Who opts into a data donation study asking for Google Search histories – and more importantly, who actually donates their data? Sina Chen and I found that Green Party and FDP voters were more likely to follow through, hinting at political skew in donated data 👇

The figure shows the predicted probabilities by party vote, derived from the partially observed bivariate probit model, separately for willingness and completion, and the joint probability. Voters of the CDU/CSU, the AfD, the SPD, the LINKE, and BSW exhibit predicted probabilities of willingness to participate close to the sample average of 50%. Green Party voters show a higher predicted probability of willingness to participate, while the elevated probabilities among FDP voters are not statistically different from those of CDU/CSU voters. In contrast, voters of other parties and non-voters, including those who did not disclose their vote choice, display lower predicted probabilities of willingness. When it comes to donation completion, both Green Party and FDP voters stand out with higher predicted probabilities. As a result, the joint predicted probabilities indicate that voters of the Greens and FDP are the most likely to both opt-in and follow through with the data donation, even when controlling for age, gender, and education.

Wow! The “official” poverty guidelines were quite problematic. But hard to see how eligibility for Medicaid & other programs will be determined given they were based on these guidelines.

The team at HHS that produces the annual federal poverty guideline was eliminated on 4/1. These are used to determine eligibility for major federal & state safety net programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, and child care subsidies. Numbers released in Jan 2025: aspe.hhs.gov/topics/pover...

The field of gender and sexual minority (LGBTQ) health is being erased. Hundreds of ongoing NIH grants being immediately terminated. Deb Umberson and my decade long longitudinal study on marriage and health joined the termination list last night.

The current administration is straight up censoring the scientific record by requiring authors to alter an already-accepted research paper because it uses banned words such as "gender" and "equitable" and presents data broken down by sexual orientation.

We were asked to change language and delete data from a paper that already been through peer review successfully - "in order to comply with the Executive Order." This is from the official journal of the US Surgeon General and the US Public Health Service. criticalpublichealth.org/blog/2025/03...

🚨 Policy works! 🚨 Low-wage workers saw dramatically fast wage growth from 2019-2023—even after accounting for inflation—largely because of federal and state policy measures like COVID relief and minimum wage increases. This is in stark contrast to prior decades. 🧵 1/4

A graph with the headline "The lowest-wage workers had the strongest wage growth during the pandemic" and a sub-headline that reads "Real wage growth across the wage distribution, 2019-2023"

@schechtlm.bsky.social und ich zeigen (osf.io/preprints/so...), dass das deutsche Erbschafts- und Schenkungssteuerrecht in Verbindung mit geschlechterspezifischem elterlichen Transferverhalten zu einem Gender-Tax-Gap führt. Erklärt hier: www.zeit.de/geld/2023-10... #GenderSky #Sociology

Erbschaftssteuer: Warum Frauen weniger erben und trotzdem mehr Steuern zahlen

Egal, wie reich Frauen werden, Männer sind im Schnitt reicher. Das liegt nicht nur am Gender-Pay-Gap, sondern auch daran, wie die deutsche Steuer Frauen diskriminiert.
