One month ago, Italians voted in a referendum on easing naturalisation rules for non-EU residents. The quorum wasn’t met, and many voters opposed the change anyway.

In this article, we analyse the economic impact of Italy’s slow, complex, and uncertain naturalisation process: NONE.

Well done, Olga!! 😍

My first PhD article has been published!

🔎 It examines how the relationship between flexible working time arrangements and self-reported work-to-life and life-to-work conflict is moderated by an (un)equal domestic labor distribution within heterosexual couples.

Happy to share that my last PhD article found a home at RSSM. Together with Julia Lang we examine how employees expect their co-workers to react (exit or voice) to perceived wage injustice—and how these expectations vary by gender and workplace context.

Who perceives lower wages for women to be fair? How perceptions of the fairness of men’s and women’s wages vary by firm and workplace characteristics Abstract. Previous research has shown that gender pay gaps are perceived as fair or justified, not only by men but also by women. In this paper we contribu

📢 Do employees perceive gender pay gaps to be (un)fair?

Susanne Strauß, Julia Lang and I contribute to the discussion around this question and explore how the organizational context shapes these perceptions.

I have received a request to review from the Israel Science Foundation today. I have declined it. My email reply below.

My position is similar to @philipncohen.com : I do not collaborate with institutions linked to the Israeli government.
But I do collaborate with individual researchers.

@kbkarlson.bsky.social & I find strong brother correlations in volatility—especially in US&DE, even beyond earnings levels!

Thanks for the great collaboration!

Our findings support the female preference for equality and self-interest perspectives: women and respondents in lower-rewarded fields perceive greater unfairness.

Moreover, these mechanisms interact: women are especially likely to perceive unfairness when it aligns with their self-interest.

We investigated this through a novel #survey #experiment in the German Student Survey.

Our study tested two theoretical explanations and their interplay:
1️⃣ Female preference for equality
2️⃣ Biases favoring higher reward expectations for individuals in the evaluator’s own field of study

Fairness Evaluations of Higher Education Graduates’ Earnings: The Role of Female Preference for Equality and Self‐Interest Educational and occupational horizontal segregation contribute significantly to economic inequalities, especially in contexts with a strong correspondence between fields of study and occupational out...

Horizontal #segregation fuels economic #inequalities. Yet, the perceived fairness of these disparities remains underexplored.

@dianagalos.bsky.social, Susanne Strauß, Thomas Hinz, and I investigated how people perceive #fairness in the economic returns of #fields of study.
