Forthcoming in the AER: "Social Preferences over Ordinal Outcomes" by Sandro Ambuehl and B. Douglas Bernheim.
Social Preferences over Ordinal Outcomes
(Forthcoming Article) - We study social preferences in settings where someone who chooses on behalf of others knows how those individuals rank the available options but may lack cardinal information concerning those comparisons. Contrary to majoritarian principles, most people place more weight on pre- venting least-preferred outcomes for others than on enabling most-preferred outcomes. Ranks matter both intrinsically and because they provide a basis for inferring cardinal utility. Ordinal aggregation principles are stable across domains and countries with divergent political traditions. Designing attractive social choice mechanisms is challenging in practice partly because aggre- gation principles that make manipulation diffcult yield outcomes people consider normatively unappealing.

Beautifully written, urgently terrifying. "In towns like mine, outsourcing and automation consumed jobs. Then purpose. Then people. Now the same forces are climbing the economic ladder...If our leaders fail to prepare, the silence that once followed the closing of factory doors will spread..."

VoxEU column on our paper on child related inequality is now online: cepr.org/voxeu/column... @unisg.ch
The rising cost of motherhood in Germany
Reductions in women's labour supply after childbirth remain a persistent driver of gender earnings inequality. Using data from West Germany from the 1960s to 2013, this column explores the evolution of the ‘child penalty’ – post-birth earnings reductions for mothers – in Germany. The child penalty increased over time because women are earning more, so the opportunity cost of motherhood has grown. Family policies can affect gender inequality through changing post-birth earnings decisions. Future research should examine how policies influence pre-birth choices and interact with gender norms over the long run.
