Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- The Nobel lectures by Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson
- Rattsø and Sheard (open access) find positive overall effects of airports on population and employment growth, using data from the expansion of Norway's airport system between 1950 and 2019
- Ederer, Goldsmith-Pinkham, and Jensen (with ungated earlier version here) analyse content from the Economics Job Market Rumors (EJMR) website from 2012 to 2023, and document a gradual increase in posts linking to Twitter, as well as rating references to different Twitter accounts according to how negative, misogynistic, or toxic they are
- Ginther, Kahn, and Milakhina (with ungated earlier version here, or here) find that women are significantly disadvantaged in promotion to associate and full professor in economics departments
- Buzard et al. (with ungated earlier version here) find that women report significantly lower interest in both taking economics classes and majoring or minoring in economics relative to their male peers, based on a survey of early-stage undergraduate students at two US universities
