Does citizenship-acquisition improve labour market outcomes of immigrant? In the Italian context naturalised immigrants have higher socio-economic attainment and earnings. Yet, this is largely due to positive selection rather than the acquisition of citizenship itself: dx.doi.org/10.1111/imig...

Our paper with @gaiaghirardi.bsky.social is now out at SSR! Have a look if you are interested in social stratification and/or sociogenomics Below are the main findings and contributions 1/6 doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

“Income Volatility & Parenting Styles During Hard Times”: @gmari.bsky.social studied whether volatility affects parenting, finding it associated w/ ↓ warmth & ↑ harshness in families w/ ↑ incomes & the opposite in fams w/ ↓ incomes. @essb-erasmusuni010.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

Last but not least, M. Aprea presented a joint work w/ our @filippogch.bsky.social , P.Barbieri & M. Raitano using administrative survey linked data to investigate sibling correlation in 🇮🇹.

Interested in economic opportunities in a comparative framework? Our @filippogch.bsy.social shared a contribution (w/ P.Barbieri) on sorting mechanisms and wage stratification in the 🇺🇸, 🇩🇪, and 🇮🇹 adopting sibling correlation.

Great talk by @filippogch.bsky.social on the importance of family origin on wages in a comparative study of US, Italy, and Germany showing rather similar overall intergenerational inequality, but rather different mechanisms, #RC28

It’s Brown Bag Seminar’s time! 🏔️ For today #BBS, our @filippogch.bsky.social and M. Aprea presented new evidence on sibling correlation in 🇮🇹 (w/ M. Raitano and P. Barbieri) using administrative survey linked data! So much still to learn about mechanisms of intergenerational transmission! ✨

🕺New paper in @sfjournal.bsky.social💃 Family background shapes volatility too 💸 @kbkarlson.bsky.social & I find strong brother correlations in volatility—especially in US&DE, even beyond earnings levels! Thanks for the great collaboration! Open access 👉 academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

💡 My recent work with @mvaldes1989.bsky.social & @conteristo.bsky.social, published today (what better timing than International Education Day?), explores the relationship between low-emission zones (LEZs) and academic performance. Our findings?

Do family background shape exposure to life cycle earnings volatility? With the beyond outstanding @filippogch.bsky.social, I have paper forthcoming in Social Forces that addresses this question with brother correlations in volatility exposure in Denmark, Germany, and the U.S. #sociology

My 1st #PAA2024 was amazing! 🏙️ Had the chance to discuss discrimination (w/ @filippogch.bsky.social & Barbieri), singlehood (w/ @beatricecaniglia.bsky.social & Barbieri) and gender ineq. in paid/unpaid work (w/ @mattepiol.bsky.social) with great people (My surname sounds kind of fun in the US btw)

Do you know that women are more socially mobile than men in Southern EU countries, where institutional familialism and a strong influence of class of origin reign supreme? Any idea why? Take a look at our (w/ @zamberlanna.bsky.social ) take. sociologicalscience.com/articles-v11... 1/7

💥New in Sociological Science💥 Many researchers use panel data to trace outcomes over life events. They often estimate YEARLY dummies – which throws away valuable info on the exact MONTHS of events & interviews. We show how to turn the MONTHLY info into insight: 👉"There's More in the Data!"👈
