Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Fudenberg (open access) summarises the work of last year's John Bates Clark medal winner, Philipp Strack
- Borusyak, Hull, and Jaravel (open access) provide a practical guide to shift-share instruments (also referred to as Bartik instruments)
- Thrane (open access) finds evidence of own-country bias in experts' player ratings in football (soccer)
- Henrekson, Jonung, and Lundahl (open access) argue that the tyranny of the top five economics journals is increasingly extending from the US to European universities
- Carpenter et al. (open access) find large employment and earnings penalties for transgender and gender diverse people in New Zealand, using data from driver licence records linked to income in Stats NZ Integrated Data Infrastructure (I wonder if this can be corroborated with data from the 2023 Census, which now collects more detailed data on gender identity?)
- Solga, Rusconi, and Hofmeister (open access) look at whether gender bias in assistant professor recruitment exists and differs across disciplines (mathematics/physics, economics/sociology/political science, and German studies) in Germany, and find that in all disciplines female applicants receive higher ratings than male applicants, both for perceived qualification for an assistant professorship and for being invited for an interview
- Cao et al. find that firms with accountant CEOs are associated with lower innovation output and a weaker propensity to pursue explorative innovations but greater efficiency in generating innovation output per unit of resource input
- Aigner, Greenspon, and Rodrik (open access) look at the universe of economics and business journal articles published since 1980, and find that while Western and Northern European authors have made substantial gains, the representation of authors based in low-income countries remains extremely low, and that articles by developing country authors are far less likely to be published in top journals even when holding constant article quality
