Seizing everything someone owns without due process is wrong. Regardless of who it is. The fact this is happening to someone who has done so much for research and higher education in Spain is so bad on so many levels and distressing.
Normally I would not be posting personal developments on this website, but in this case I have a pressing concern. My dad, Spanish economist Andreu Mas-Colell, is dealing with an incredibly difficult and unjust situation. 1/
Check out our newly updated paper!
We show how the amount of skills that young workers learn on the job varies tremendously across firms, both in Brazil and Italy.
This has important effects on wage growth and on wage inequality. 📈

Workers who entered the labor market during economic downturns have lower cognitive skills many years later. In the September 2022 issue, by Jaime Arellano-Bover (

Networks: 42% de trabajadores jóvenes en España encontraron su trabajo a través de familiares, amigos o conocidos. Esto es más común para hombres (46%) que para mujeres (37%). Para ellas es más común por anuncios o solicitando a la empresa.

Model shows facts consistent w/:
- aging crowds out young workers from top jobs
- young men were overrepresented at top jobs
--> aging disproportionately affects young men
--> newer cohorts more gender-equal since entry
- generational cohort-replacement lowers gender gap
4/5
In US, Italy, Canada, UK:
- Gender gap convergence is explained by cross-cohort trends
- New cohorts that are more equal since labor market entry replace older cohorts
- Convergence at labor market entry driven by young men’s losses
- Patterns driven by high-pay firms
2/5
- New cohorts stopped being more equal in mid-90s
- Retirement of older cohorts drives pay gap convergence since
- Cross-cohort patterns --> gender pay gap is not projected to close
- Key component of remaining gap: non-converging field of study gender differences
