Female economics Nobel prize winners are rare sightings 🔍and when you have two of them at once it's magic! 🪄 .@LSEnews & @STICERD_LSE were delighted to host Professors Esther Duflo and Claudia Goldin for each of their public lectures this evening 👑💪#LSEEconomics #econtwitter

Presenting at #EEA2025: Gayline Vukulu’s paper “Treat Remind Repeat! A natural Field Experiment in a Tax Amnesty Context” In Kenya sequenced email nudges during a tax amnesty boosted uptake by 9%. Early responders paid 30% more. Social norms + deterrence nudges worked best. #Tax.

At #EEA2025, Paula Scholz @UniCologne presented 'It’s Not About the Money – Or Is It?' Her experimental study explores why men apply more often than women for high paid leadership roles. Findings suggest stereotypes & motivation not performance play a key role. #GenderEcon.

This afternoon at #EEA2025 Evrim Belli (@TilburgU) presents her really interesting paper "Gender Differences in Preferences and Beliefs: The Role of Biological Sex and Gender Expression," #GenderEcon #BehavioralEcon.

RT @AnSoLassen: Join us at Copenhagen Business School on Sep 29 for a full-day workshop on Gender Norms, Family Dynamics, and Labor Market….

Great to see former @STICERD_LSE visitor (now post doc) @Camilla_skovbo on the @EEANews Congress programme with her co-authored wip paper; 'The Economic Consequences of Retirement: How Firms Respond When Workers Retire' #eea2025

Women often end up in teams that undermine their productivity and pay. In "Gender stereotypes and homophily in team formation" Antonio Cabrales & co-authors show how stereotypes and homophily shape teams and how info can soften but not erase these biases. #EEA2025.

#EEA2025 Johannes Rincke @FAUWiSo presents 'Preferences in Social Network Formation' showing that homophily in student social networks isn't driven by homophilous preferences. Instead common valuations make certain individuals universally more attractive as peers. #SocialNetworks.

So proud to see our former Hub RA Viktor Veterinarov presenting at #EEA2025 (Gender session): “Public Transport: a Route to Reduce Employment Gap?”New evidence from US bus stop expansions shows better connectivity boosts female employment & narrows the gap

At #EEA2025 Claude Raisaro (@GVAGrad) presented “Hidden Gender Discrimination” a paper on hiring in Uganda’s male dominated sectors. Women are seen as more trustworthy, yet hidden bias means they’re often overlooked especially when monitoring costs fall.

At #EEA2025 Sarah Frohnweilerm presents evidence from a vocational training program in Ghana: self-efficacy testimonials improved performance &completion among young women.Behavioral can complement human capital investments by tackling internal constraints

#EEA2025, Nina Liu (@KingsCollegeLon) presents her JM paper in the Gender Inequality & Discrimination session: “Printing and Women: The Gendered Impact of Printing Technology in China.” Interesting research on historical drivers of gender inequality.

Huge congrats to @amenjalal_ (@STICERD_LSE) for winning @EEANews Outstanding Paper Award at the Virtual Discrimination & Diversity Workshop!🏅Her paper “Screening Women Out?” shows how salary transparency in job ads boosts gender equity & firm efficiency.

The gender gap in employment isn’t just about offers it’s about timing. In Pakistan women who delay job search miss a critical post-grad window. A modest incentive to apply early raises female employment by 20% Oriana Bandiera,.@amenjalal_& @NinaRoussille.

“Why is inheritance tax so hated?” on @radiofrance explores the paradox: symbolic attachment, flawed polling & deep inequality. @landais_camille notes that due to exemptions, ultra-wealthy heirs often pay far less than the statutory rate. #wealthinequality.

“The Bengal I took pride in has let me down.”.A reflection on recent cases of violence against women in W. Bengal & the institutional failures they expose. @IndiaToday cites research by @maitreesh Ghatak questioning the reliability of official crime data.

The child penalty isn’t just about lost wages—it reflects deep gendered inequalities in care, work, and social expectations. @CamilleLandais’ work, cited in @LeVif, shows Belgian mothers face a 26% drop in employment post-birth vs. 2% for fathers. #GenderInequality.
