Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?
These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.
So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

📚 New study on #Kenya by @pbiscaye.bsky.social @eggerdennis.bsky.social & Utz Pape

Graph of responses of luxury shares in imports to a terms-of-trade shock When wealth or income suddenly increases (‘easy money’), this may be directed towards unproductive ‘easy spending’. This column explores the relationship between conspicuous consumption and revenue windfalls using country-specific variations in commodity export prices, and finds that the responses are bigger for luxury than for non-luxury imports. Countries that have higher inequality, weaker control of corruption, or less democracy have significantly higher luxury import responses following a commodity export windfall. These results suggest a novel (conspicuous consumption) channel of the resource curse in the context of weak mechanisms for resource allocation.
R Arezki, H Nguyen, & F Van Der Ploeg identify a novel channel of the resource curse in which countries with higher inequality, weaker control of corruption, or less democracy have significantly higher luxury import responses following a commodity export windfall.

🎯The study highlights the painful choice modest agricultural households frequently face between sending a child to school or having them work. Eventually, school calendars that better account for peak agricultural activity periods could reduce school absenteeism.
