📢New working paper: "Masculinity Norms and Their Economic Consequences" w/ @paulinegrosjean.bsky.social Ieda Matavelli+@vicbar.bsky.social.
We review the literature on how masculinity norms - the informal rules guiding men's behavior - shape economic outcomes in health, labor markets & politics. 🧵
It has been a long journey but I’m glad that our paper with @b-eichengreen.bsky.social has now found itself such a nice home @jeeanews.bsky.social 😊
