This feature of Swedish unions could help explain why the union effect was more evenly spread among the distribution of skills, as compared to the US where we observe more stark differences across skill and education.
We demonstrate how all-encompassing unions were by showing that there was no selection into union status by education. In the US, instead, there was significant selection on a number of characteristics (as previous studies show).
The all-encompassing Swedish unions, however, would have been more successful in pursuing equity and higher wages in the long-run thanks to their large size. Read the paper here: ehes.org/wp/EHES_292....
New working paper with @jakobmolinder.bsky.social, we examine the role of unions in the Great Leveling by comparing two contrasting countries: Sweden and the US. Unions in both countries raised wages and lowered inequality, however, unions were more aggressive in the US where they were much smaller.
My thesis is finally published, the introductory Kappa is available online and the unpublished papers will soon be working papers in a series near you (before they find their homes in journals).

När barnafödandet minskar och bostadskostnader äter upp en allt större del av barnfamiljers inkomster, finns det alla skäl att värna Sveriges familjepolitik - i stället för att låta inflationen urholka den.

Mest besviken över att spelarna inte når de nivåer vi vet att de kan prestera på
Vi ger väl plats till en ung kille från akademin... nej juste han gick till Sirius
Bra lag vinner matcher när de inte spelar bra, vi har varit rätt dåliga två matcher i rad och har sex poäng på dessa
Var spelar Gustav S?
Den här gången så!

If you're talking about basic string distances, a Jaro-Winkler similarity of 0.85 is a good rule of thumb in my world. But it's always worth looking at the data to see what thresholds seems to make sense.

Happy to share that my article on the redistributive effects of epidemic mortality is now published in The History of the Family!
It adds to the literature on preindustrial inequality by investigating redistribution of land in the wake of the 1655-6 plague epidemic in Hazerswoude, Holland. (1/12)

Mycket välkommet att Konkurrensverket nu väljer att granska ICA:s maffiametoder för att begränsa konkurrensen. Det här har vi påpekat länge.

Such utter madness that a genocidal rogue state is allowed to put the lives of millions of people at existential risk. I wonder if there's anything Israel can do that would result in reactions in the West. And while our eyes turn to Iran, the genocide in Gaza continues
S sänkte skatten för de rikaste, försämrade anställningstryggheten och ville införa marknadshyror när de senast regerade. Ingen kan väl tro att de efter nästa val ska bli socialister. Sossarna kommer aldrig bli vänster.
Bildbeskrivning: socialdemokraternas relation till vänsterpolitik.
Senast S regerade sänkte de skatten för de allra rikaste, gjorde ingenting åt vinster i välfärden och försämrade anställningstryggheten. De ville dessutom införa marknadshyror men stoppades av V.
Vill man ha vänsterpolitik bör man aldrig rösta på S
