This is why we should be open about our salaries. The taboo around talking about money hurts us as workers.

The last time I read his work on this for an experiment I was designing, I was struggling but colleagues had no idea. Years later, Krueger is no longer with us. Don't be afraid to show your own self-doubt or vulnerability to others-we can all use the support, plus help someone feelΒ lessΒ alone. (2/2)

Rereading Alan Krueger’s work on measuring subjective well-being, I’m compelled to share with urgency: if you are struggling, you are not alone. Each of us has at least one professional contact whose success, productivity, smile, and thoughtfulness belie an interior life of deep sadness. (1/2)

The gendered effects of import competition in Peru Chinese import competition in Peru had adverse effects on employment in the short term, which dissipates for men, but is long-lasting for low-educated women in the tradable sector

So happy to contribute to Vox Dev with my amazing co-authors @hnmansour.bsky.social & @pamemedinaq.bsky.social. We discuss the main results of our papers on the gendered effects of import competition in Peru in this column.
