Btw - the Python open source applied metrics tooling is growing rapidly. We now have: - PyFixest for HDFE regressions (github.com/py-econometr...) - marginaleffects for marginal effects (github.com/vincentarelb...) - maketables for regression tables (github.com/py-econometr...)
Does rhetorical othering affect the identity of the targeted minority? @teresafmonteiro.bsky.social, @hasagerlinea.bsky.social and I study exactly this in the context of Denmark's so-called Ghetto List. Using an RD design, we find that the Ghetto label triggered a cultural backlash
🆕 RFBerlin Discussion Paper! @mettefoged.bsky.social, Teresa Freitas-Monteiro & @hasagerlinea.bsky.social study how harsh political labeling (Denmark’s “ghetto list”) affects cultural identity and triggers backlash responses. 🔗 www.rfberlin.com/wp-content/u...

New WP: “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization” Debates on international students often focus on capacity constraints, funding, or competition. In the paper, I show that the main effects of internationalization on natives are not academic or economic, but social.
In an interesting turn of events, US and Danish government came up with the same to help with the affordability crisis: longer mortgages! That has sparked some backlash. But in the US, it seems the discussion is focusing on the wrong stuff. Well, let’s try to learn from 🇩🇰.
Excited to post a new working paper with @instrumenthull.bsky.social and Michal Kolesár: arxiv.org/abs/2511.03572 Will post a thread on it soon, but if you're interested in judge/examiner designs, I think you'll find this guide very helpful!

Update #2, RETRACTED: 15 months after we (w @ollefolke.bsky.social and @johannarickne.bsky.social ) submitted the initial comment to the Journal, we've noticed the paper was ultimately retracted. Retraction note here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4
