3/4 Why does this matter?
Despite strides, Economics is still one of the most male-dominated fields in academia and this shapes women's academic careers. This network is part of the push to change that.
2/4 The network offers:
๐ฌ A platform to showcase your research
๐ค Workshops & networking opportunities
๐ฑ Mentorship initiatives
๐ฌ Gender-focused academic discussions
Connect with political economists around the world, wherever you are in your career!

4/ A big thank you to everyone who helped improve this paper, and of course to Olivia for the journey! Glad this paper found such a great home ๐
3/ The result? 1 extra day of stretchโฌ๏ธthe probability of IPV by ~20%.
Importantly, this isn't about job loss or big economic crises. The paycheck arrives eventually. But the temporary stress, financial and emotional, is enough to increase violence at home.
2/ The idea is simple. Workers paid semi-monthly (on the 15th and last day of the month) sometimes get paid early, because banks are closed. But if the next payday stays the same, the same paycheck has to stretch further.
We use this quirk of the calendar as a natural experiment.
New paper @ Journal of Health Economics, with Olivia Masi ๐
When a payday falls on a weekend or holiday, the next paycheck covers more days than usual. We show these shifts in pay significantlyโฌ๏ธthe risk of IPV
Even minor financial stress matters๐งต
