Congrats Zach!
Does citizenship-acquisition improve labour market outcomes of immigrant? In the Italian context naturalised immigrants have higher socio-economic attainment and earnings. Yet, this is largely due to positive selection rather than the acquisition of citizenship itself: dx.doi.org/10.1111/imig...
Our article on parental union dissolution and children’s emotional and behavioral problems appears in the most recent issue of @sfjournal.bsky.social. We find a longterm increase in SDQ score following parental union dissolution [1/2]
