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 paper with @gaiaghirardi.bsky.social is now out at SSR!

Have a look if you are interested in social stratification and/or sociogenomics

Below are the main findings and contributions 1/6
doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

“Income Volatility & Parenting Styles During Hard Times”: @gmari.bsky.social studied whether volatility affects parenting, finding it associated w/ ↓ warmth & ↑ harshness in families w/ ↑ incomes & the opposite in fams w/ ↓ incomes. @essb-erasmusuni010.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

Last but not least, M. Aprea presented a joint work w/ our @filippogch.bsky.social , P.Barbieri & M. Raitano using administrative survey linked data to investigate sibling correlation in 🇮🇹.

Interested in economic opportunities in a comparative framework?

Our @filippogch.bsy.social shared a contribution (w/ P.Barbieri) on sorting mechanisms and wage stratification in the 🇺🇸, 🇩🇪, and 🇮🇹 adopting sibling correlation.

Great talk by @filippogch.bsky.social on the importance of family origin on wages in a comparative study of US, Italy, and Germany showing rather similar overall intergenerational inequality, but rather different mechanisms, #RC28

It’s Brown Bag Seminar’s time! 🏔️

For today #BBS, our @filippogch.bsky.social and M. Aprea presented new evidence on sibling correlation in 🇮🇹 (w/ M. Raitano and P. Barbieri) using administrative survey linked data!

So much still to learn about mechanisms of intergenerational transmission! ✨

Great point! As Kristian said, shocks can impact siblings at different ages but the method should calculate the correlation at the same age. About external shocks, we find no drastic fluctuations over periods and the inclusion of the birth year (or period) FE should absorb parts of their impact.

Family background shapes volatility too 💸

@kbkarlson.bsky.social & I find strong brother correlations in volatility—especially in US&DE, even beyond earnings levels!

Thanks for the great collaboration!

Teaming up w/ @kbkarlson.bsky.social , they explore the impact of family background on income volatility in 🇩🇰, 🇩🇪 & 🇺🇸 using brother correlations!

🚩 NEW PAPER 🚩

Income volatility is associated with many adverse outcomes in today’s economy but we know almost nothing about how exposure to volatility depends on family background.

💡 My recent work with @mvaldes1989.bsky.social & @conteristo.bsky.social, published today (what better timing than International Education Day?), explores the relationship between low-emission zones (LEZs) and academic performance. Our findings?

Do family background shape exposure to life cycle earnings volatility? With the beyond outstanding @filippogch.bsky.social, I have paper forthcoming in Social Forces that addresses this question with brother correlations in volatility exposure in Denmark, Germany, and the U.S.

Thanks 😀

In conclusion, in Italy, women’s higher social mobility than that of men is more likely indicative of persistent traditional work–family choices among the better-off than a signal of growing equality of opportunity.

7/7

However, upper-class women (especially those becoming mothers at a comparatively young age) demonstrated lower occupational achievements across birth cohorts → perverse fluidity: not-exploited advantages.

6/7

We found that middle- and working-class women exhibited upgraded average occupational achievements across birth cohorts in conjunction with educational expansion → more meritocracy.

5/7

As to why, we hypothesized three different mechanisms: (1) increased meritocracy, (2) perverse fluidity driven by the motherhood penalty and related intragenerational downward mobility, and (3) perverse fluidity due to upper-class women not exploiting their origin-related advantages.
