Do you have a paper on health insurance policy in the Marketplace, MA, or group markets that you would like to present @ashecon.bsky.social in a panel with @dmaanderson.bsky.social @paulshafer.bsky.social sky.social and me? If so, please shoot me an email or DM!

I am not convinced it's Leipzig specific. I know of two births only days apart. One in an essentially empty ward another "Why don't you try another hospital?"

Given that birth timing is somewhat random one could look at the practice style of the doctor on call. Does s/he always induce, 50/50, never, etc. and use that as an instrument for the whether there was induction in that case.

🚨 New working paper!

How well do people predict the results of studies?

@sdellavi.bsky.social and I leverage data from the first 100 studies to have been posted on the SSPP, containing 1,482 key questions, on which over 50,000 forecasts were placed. Some surprising results below.... πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

I got 2 days off in my 2 week 9th grade internship. One for my birthday and one for being "too productive". So I initially got interested in business econ/consultancy to reduce inefficiencies, then I took business econ and econ classes and the latter appealed a lot more.

🚨UK Biobank has ADHD + ASD + Emotionality questionnaires in an older population now! Huge potential to study ppl born a little early to have been recognized/diagnosed.

What are your favorite techniques to get students who are reluctant to talk to ask questions (in a larger class where you can't necessarily know everyone's name)? Doesn't have to be during lecture either.

The Cost of Caring: Gendered Health and Labour Market Effects of Grandparenthood

While the effects of the transition to parenthood are well-researched, less is known about how the transition to grandparenthood affects health and labour market outcomes. Using comprehensive Norwegian register data covering the entire population born between 1950 and 1960, we examine the effects of first-born grandchildren born during 2007–2018. Employing event-study models with person-year records, we compare grandparents to not-yet grandparents. Our findings reveal a sharp increase in the likelihood of respiratory infections during the first two years of grandparenthood, with infections increasing by 56% for women and 31% for men. Additionally, grandparenthood modestly reduces the likelihood of doctor’s visits related to mental disorders (4.5%) and cardiovascular health (3.3%). Grandmothers also see a decline in musculoskeletal-related visits (3.8%). These health-related changes coincide with notable gendered effects on labour market participation. Ten years after the birth of their first grandchild, employed women are 12% less likely to hold full-time positions compared to a 2% reduction for men. Overall, our findings demonstrate that the transition to grandparenthood significantly reshapes health and economic outcomes for both women and men. The larger effects observed for women likely reflect their greater involvement in informal childcare provision. Our results underscore the intersection of health, family dynamics, and gendered labour market behaviours in late adulthood.

What happens to health and work when people become grandparents? Using Norwegian register data on all individuals born 1950-1960, we use event-study models comparing grandparents to not-yet grandparents to track changes in health and labour supply.

The first Neanderthal was discovered not too far from here, so may be I should go study cave paintings.
Jokes aside, already in daycare and 1st grade it is like I can watch educational inequalities grow in real-time and then at university I see the result.

Fair, curious what very specific thing your researching that you need that much power. If you are doing it anyway, you could open it up and let other researchers add questions for a small fee?
