Det er en indgroet forestilling i samfundet, at kvinder i højere grad end mænd gifter sig til status og velstand. Men det er en myte, viser nyt studie. Læs om det nye studie af @bsecon.bsky.social i @weekendavisen.dk www.weekendavisen.dk/2025-15/idee...
Why is there a gender gap in management promotions? Is it due to families’ or firms’ decisions? In a new paper with Frederik Almar, Ben Friedrich, Ana Reynoso and Rune Vejlin, we show that the interaction between families' and firms' career investments is key! www.nber.org/papers/w33438 #Econsky

Job displacement, remarriage and marital sorting | New #POIDWorkingPaper by Hanno Foerster, Tim Obermeier and @bsecon.bsky.social poid.lse.ac.uk/PUBLICATIONS...
Job displacement, remarriage and marital sorting
We investigate how job displacement affects whom men marry and study implications for structural models of marriage market matching. Leveraging quasi-experimental variation from Danish establishment closures, we show that job displacement leads men to break up if matched with low earning women and to re-match with higher earning women. We use a general search and matching model of the marriage market to derive several implications of our empirical findings: (i) husbands' and wives' incomes are substitutes rather than complements in the marriage market; (ii) our findings are hard to reconcile with one-dimensional matching but are consistent with multidimensional matching; (iii) a substantial part of the cross-sectional correlation between spouses' incomes arises spuriously from sorting on unobserved characteristics. We highlight the relevance of our results by simulating how the effect of rising individual-level inequality on between household inequality is shaped by marital sorting.

A very nice article in @faznet.bsky.social (in German) discusses my current research about the interaction of couples' marriage/divorce decisions with the labor market and marriage market sorting. #econsky #familyeconomics Came out in print today. www.faz.net/aktuell/wirt...

❗JobMarketPaper❗ Does 'knowing the right people' help to make it to the top? Absolutely! But here's the catch: it works best if you're from ‘the right’ (read: wealthy) background.

Incredibly bad news for Economics in Germany. It was such a coup to attract a young superstar (from MIT!) to run one of our leading research institutes. I can’t believe we are losing him and all the potential he brought to IZA.
