Upward mobility is primarily driven by labor income but almost never by capital alone - WID - World Inequality Database Upward mobility is primarily driven by labor income but almost never by capital alone This paper studies the dynamics of capital and labor income mobility using high-quality register data from Norway.

Do individuals move ⤴️ or⤵️ the income ladder because of jumps in labor or capital income, or both?

Last week was intense but super productive! I went to Codechella at @cunef.bsky.social, where I met and made many friends. I'll need to revise some of my DiD estimates tho :)

Los contratos de alquiler de temporada aumentaron hasta el 14% en las ciudades catalanas afectadas por la Ley de Vivienda El precio medio del alquiler se reduce en Catalunya al año de la entrada en vigor de la regulación aunque sigue al alza en muchos municipios, según los datos obtenidos por elDiario.es

Han salido los nuevos datos de INCASOL sobre alquileres en Catalunya en los que se incluye la duración de los contratos (www.eldiario.es/catalunya/co...). Vamos a analizarlo SIN hacer afirmaciones causales tajantes, para eso hay que hacer una evaluación.

Yesterday I presented my work at the PhD Workshop on Public Policies organized by Jenifer Ruiz-Valenzuela and Javier Vazquez at @ubeconomics.bsky.social

It was my first one, so still a lot of room for improvement, but feedback was great. I feel v lucky for being in such a constructive environment 😌

What happens when you increase the legal drinking age from 16 to 18? 🤔

We explore this question in the context of Spain. We find that the reforms decreased teenage alcohol consumption and improved educational outcomes📒🥂
