@Jiacheng_Miao's PIGEON paper on GxE methodology is now published @NatureHumBehav with a new title. In our view, this paper can reshape the study design for future complex trait GxE work. Paper📰 https://t.co/UjPbAmhrp8 Software🧑‍💻 https://t.co/564QCMFIEV

@NHHEcon @LeiteMariante @SpazianiSara shows that gender quotas in Italian governments boosted female representation, and over time, strongly increased access to anti-violence services. Political representation can help to reduce gender-based violence.

@NHHEcon @LeiteMariante @SpazianiSara @ValderFranziska Our keynote speaker @TertiltMichele provides a fascinating overview of the economics of women’s rights. Her findings illustrate the importance of economic forces for rights expansions, but also how the impact of these forces varies with culture.

In Chile, many say they're comfortable with gay colleagues—but list experiments reveal far more discomfort suggesting social pressure masks discrimination.

Her results suggest that families exposed to ethnic conflict had more children if they only had daughters. The war amplified sex-selective fertility and abortions, revealing how violence shapes family choices.

In early-2000s Ukraine, girls with more exposure to female-led animated series later pursued more education and STEM—and both boys and girls held fewer gender stereotypes.

@NHHEcon @LeiteMariante @SpazianiSara @ValderFranziska @TertiltMichele @SoFi @erika_povea @UofEBusiness @FarahzadiShadi @binhuang_kl @CaterinaPavese1 Do classmates with disabilities affect learning outcomes? @SofiaSierraV studies this question in Chile. Students in inclusive classrooms show slightly lower test scores but the impact varies by disability type and is eased when teachers stay with the same class over time.

@NHHEcon @LeiteMariante @SpazianiSara @ValderFranziska @TertiltMichele @SoFi @erika_povea @UofEBusiness @FarahzadiShadi The day concludes with @binhuang_kl. He shows that in Mao-era China, forced integration reduced trust and growth. But decades later, the same villages built stronger, more productive ties. Institutions turned diversity from a burden to an asset.

She shows that better schools don't always boost nearby home prices. Her work shows the "school premium" only appears when the alternative is a clearly worse school.

@NHHEcon @LeiteMariante @SpazianiSara @ValderFranziska @TertiltMichele @SoFi @erika_povea studies the impact of violent crime on education. As organized crime surges in Ecuador, school dropout rates rise. Children aged 11–14 are most affected, not due to fewer resources, but to fear and instability.

@NHHEcon @LeiteMariante @SpazianiSara @ValderFranziska @TertiltMichele Alessandro Toppeta (@sofi.su.se) shows that more school isn't always better: in Sweden, teens randomly tested after holidays show stronger non-cognitive skills, especially those from wealthier families. More breaks may boost development, but they risk widening inequality.

@NHHEcon @LeiteMariante @SpazianiSara @ValderFranziska asks what drives gender differences in health. Her evidence from Denmark points to an important role of providers: women are less likely to be prescribed lifesaving drugs, but can improve their outcomes when they change doctors.
