    Education Policy: Quality and Equality of Opportunity

    Market economies inevitably come with economic inequality.

    Vast amounts are being invested in the energy transition worldwide, with optimistic expectations of economic growth and green job creation.

    2023/10: Birds of a feather earn together. Gender and peer effects at the workplace

    Julián Messina, Anna Sanz-de-Galdeano, Anastasia Terskaya

    Utilizing comprehensive administrative data from Brazil, we investigate the impact of peer effects on wages, considering both within-gender and cross-gender dynamics. Since the average productivity of both individuals and their peers is unobservable, we estimate these values using worker fixed effects while accounting for occupational and firm sorting. Our findings...
