Interdisciplinary paper with @paulhufe.net Astrid Sandsør and Nicolai Borgen now out in PNAS!

Causal evidence of gene-environment interaction for reading test scores based on:
🧬 Exogenous within-family genetic differences
🏫 Exogenous variation in school value added
👥 More immigrant coworkers and diversity improve minority retention — but may reinforce workplace segregation
🌐 Assimilation: coworker effects weaker in the second generation
💼 Policy implication: turnover shapes workplace composition — it’s not just about who is hired
Link: doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...
📌 Key finding: More immigrant coworkers → lower exit rates among immigrant workers, small increase in exits among majority workers
🔑 Why? Effects are strongest when coworkers are coethnics, when they have the same skills, and when immigrant coworkers are represented among top earners
🚨 New paper in @sfjournal.bsky.social: Blending In or Moving On? @enlar.bsky.social @aleksandermadsen.bsky.social, and I study how the share of immigrant coworkers affects whether immigrants stay or leave their job. Here’s what we find 👇

Extremely happy that my project got funded with a Consolidator Grant from @erc.europa.eu. The project is called FIRMS, and with a team, I'll study how the workplace/firm affects inequality in careers. We'll use register data to trace the careers of millions of workers. 1/3

Others claim that cities have the mysterious virtue of enhancing workers’ productivity. In this Nature Cities paper, our COIN team offers a simpler explanation. These cities are 'financial cities', where top earnings are inflated by rents in the financial labor market www.nature.com/articles/s44...
