Excited to share our new paper “The Class Ceiling in Politics” conditionally accepted at @apsrjournal! Co-authored with @johannarickne. Available at: 1/9 drive.google.com/file/d/1rdrUwP…
Where in the career pipeline to parliament do working-class politicians disappear – and why? We study these questions with 50 years of data for all Swedish residents, political candidates, and officeholders in local and national politics. 2/9

Me and @johannarickne’s paper on promotion to top jobs and marriage stability was just published in AEJ: Applied Economics. This picture shows the main finding of the paper: promotion increases the divorce probability for women, but not for men. 1/10 pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10… We depart from the fact that women are underrepresented in top jobs throughout the world and across sectors of society. While some research points to the importance of family constraints in explaining women’s absence, there is no research on how promotion affects divorce. 2/10
