A new Annual Review article by @arnoutvanderijt.bsky.social and colleagues worth a read. Don't let the formal modeling of luck fool you. This is one of the more interesting, and all around crazier, articles I've read recently. Super cool. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

How long can parents take leave, and how can they share it? The new EPLP Dataset tracks parenting leave in 21 European countries, 1970-2024, with 33 variables on duration, benefits, flexibility, and incentives for sharing www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol... eplp-dataset.org

These equivalence requirements & associated costs are ridiculous, and put extra burdens on young scholars. Something similar happened with my IT habilitation, for which my experience at a NL graduate school accredited by the Dutch Royal Academy of Science did not count as not approved by IT ministry

Great to see our scoping review from the ERC-funded TARGET project published! The field has mainly looked at the drivers of discrimination attributions in isolation, and with little attention to between-respondent heterogeneity. We call for multi-dimensional designs and multi-actor comparisons.
