Gender norms are extremely persistent and constrain women's life opportunities, especially so in poor countries. In my Job Market Paper, I show that grassroots media are an effective policy instrument to address gender norms at scale. #EconJMP #econtwitter

If progress is characterized by many small, incremental improvements with few yet larger setbacks, news reporting will focus on the latter. We also generalise these findings to other indices.

The remaining half is explained by a focus on large daily changes in combination with negative skewness in daily changes. As such, we quantify what Rosling et al., @_HannahRitchie and @OurWorldInData have argued for in the past:.

ZDF journalists mention daily changes in Germany’s DAX on 29% of days. While the DAX increased by a daily avg. of 4 index points from 2017-24, it fell by 10 points when mentioned on the news and increased by 10 points when not mentioned. Adding this up results in the above figure.
