💥Research Assistant Positions💥

1. Ingvild Almås, Timo Boppart, Thor Berger, Hannes Malmberg, and I are looking for a research assistant to work on a project which investigates Sweden's spectacular economic growth during the late 19th century using establishment-level data.

Our paper describes the construction of the data, but we think there are still a ton of stories to tell from people who have more local context than we do. For instance, I'd like to know more about the differences we see here!

With the upcoming referendum on citizenship on June 8-9th in Italy, with @maartenpvink.bsky.social & @lorenzopiccoli.bsky.social , we discuss how this would be a crucial step toward aligning Italy with the more inclusive and modern citizenship regimes common across Europe!
