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

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.
