This week in research #115

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (another slow week):

• Mortágua gets deep into the theoretical weeds on the question of whether crypto-assets are money
• Carpenter et al. (with ungated earlier version here) use 2021 Canadian Census data to look at earnings disparities experienced by nonbinary people, and find that nonbinary individuals assigned male at birth, transgender men, transgender women, and cisgender women all earn significantly less than comparable cisgender men

Also new from the Waikato working papers series:

• Valera, Lubangco, and Holmes propose a new measure of revisions to consumer inflation expectations that uses repeated cross-sections rather than panel data, and show that individual inflation expectations are sensitive to price changes across 14 food and energy goods
