Good times. Last week I handed in my PhD thesis, and yesterday one of my other projects made the front page of Jyllands-Posten! M Gensowski talks about our paper (w/ Cecilie Marie Løchte Jørgensen, @idalykkekr) on how longer parental leave increases children's socio-emotional skills and well-being.

A new study shows that Danish children’s well-being is improved when their parents take longer parental leave 👉 news.ku.dk/all_news/2023/…

Thrilled to see this happening! We began working on this project towards the end of the first year of my PhD. Last month I handed in my thesis, and now our paper is finally coming out in the AER. Big-up to my brilliant co-authors @ChecchiaRonda @RosholmMichael

Var i RADIO IIII forleden og fortælle om vores studie omkring sammenhængen ml. barselslængde og børns udvikling og trivsel (fra 40:20): radio4.dk/program/radio4… Det tyder på, at børn i visse kommuner nu kommer væsentligt tidligere i institution - vigtigt at følge den udvikling.

Calling all Graduate students! We (Magne and Torgo leading) are hosting a causal inference conference this March--fully funded! Experimentalists--would love to see students interested in controlling the assignment mechanism showcasing their work here. fs2.formsite.com/UChicagoEconom…

🚨New WP🚨 Using admin data and a pop-wide school survey, I estimate precise effects of birth order on academic achievement, personality, and well-being. Earlier-born siblings score higher on all outcomes. Effects are stable across groups and over time. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

politiken.dk/danmark/art967… Godt for ligestilligen at flere fædre tager barsel. Men der rapporteres ikke om at det samlede antal fuldtidspersoner på barsel er faldet 6%. Så det tyder fortsat på at en del barsel "går tabt" og børn generelt nu kommer tidligere i institution.

Nice summary in Weekendavisen (in Danish) of one of the main findings of my new working paper: Earlier-born siblings are more conscientious, agreeable, and emotionally stable than their later-born siblings. weekendavisen.dk/2023-51/ideer/…. Link to paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf….

Var i weekenden så priviligeret at være inviteret til at holde oplæg om "nyt fra forskningsfronten" til Nationaløkonomisk Forenings årsmøde. Talte om samspillet mellem arv og miljø og konsekvenser for ulighed. Lærte til gengæld meget om dansk økonomi, geopolitiske spændinger m.m.

Ny analyse om øremærket barsel med Miriam Gensowski + Ingibjörg Ingólfsdóttir Fædre tager længere orlov, mens mødre tager endnu kortere orlov. Samlet set er orlov for barnet derfor faldet lidt. Faldet er størst i familier med lavest indkomster og kortest uddannelser.

Super 24 spørgsmål med Lone Frank, hvor Mikkel Aagaard Houmark formidler sit banebrydende studie om forholdet mellem arv og miljø. Meget stof til eftertanke, og dybt originalt argument og data - det er verdensklasse forskning! podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/arv…

Tak - det var en fornøjelse at være med! Min medvirken i Lone Franks 24 spørgsmål til professoren kan høres nu. Vi får snakket om betydningen af arv OG miljø, bl.a. hvordan den sociale ulighed bliver større, fordi forældres brug af tid med deres børn afhænger af børnenes genetik.

Very happy to see this paper published in the EER. Started working on it a few months into the PhD when Cecilie Marie Løchte Jørgensen had the idea and suggested that we should do a project together. Time flies. M Gensowski @idalykkekr
