🚨 What motivates people to help others? Is it utilitarianism, helping those whose well-being will be impacted most? Or do they favor those less responsible for their predicament? We use a Dutch TV show to answer this question! Paper: ssrn.com/abstract=49466… Thread below 🧵👇

Paper out: Teenagers have improved well-being, conscientiousness, and emotional stability if their mothers had longer paid parental leave, which likely delayed children’s entry into formal care. With Mikkel Aagaard Houmark @idalykkekr @ceciliemarieloechte 🧵1/6 tinyurl.com/5xp4vnux

Lina Lozano studies labor market disparities using lab and online experiments. Lina's JMP shows how gender differences in workers' attribution of credit for their team's success/failure contribute to hiring disparities, particularly when gender is unknown. sites.google.com/view/linamaria…

Most gender inequality in the labor market emerges at parenthood. But does parenthood cause it? My JMP introduces a new method to answer this question. I find that at least half of the observed gender gaps in work hours and income would emerge even without children. 🧵

Research by @thomasbuser & Sangi suggests a sizeable minority of people (30-40%)—more likely male, younger, or lower-educated individuals) is willing to engage in ‘dirty competition’ (sabotaging opponents, lying about their performance etc): buff.ly/rUc9jnE
