Jag gjorde faktiskt så. Inte så mycket party dock. Skickade ut typ 15-30 sidor till 4 vänner som fick korrläsa (kappan).
Just sent a letter of abstract acceptance for our working group "Disadvantaged Urban Neighbourhoods and Communities" at the European Network for Housing Research conference in Oslo in July. Hope to see you there.
Den lilla snutt av Götgatan som för närvarande är bilfri får mig att fantisera om helt bilfria städer. Tänk va.

What are the odds? Just as I'm about to throw out a mouse my cat dragged in, a police car pulls up on the sidewalk behind my house. Caught in the act.
For a change, something we made ourselves: Together with my colleagues Tobias Roth, Andreas Horr, and @nataliebackes.bsky.social, we examined ethnic rent penalties. Do migrants pay higher rents for comparable housing than natives with similar characteristics? direct.mit.edu/euso/article...
The day after grant application deadline AND ski teacher test, I wake up with a fever and a cold. I guess I need to rest a bit.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Tomorrow, "my" PhD student @anatra.bsky.social will leave Stockholm University for Florence to be a visiting student for one semester at @eui-eu.bsky.social. Take care of her, Italy!
Markets and Mobility: How Employers Structure Economic Opportunity
Intergenerational mobility, measuring the ability to achieve economic success regardless of family background, is a critical reflection of a society’s commitment to equality of opportunity. Rising income inequality has raised concerns about the potential erosion of upward mobility. While education has traditionally been viewed as the path to mobility, its transformative power is facing challenges in a rapidly evolving job market. This project reorients the focus of intergenerational mobility research by highlighting the labor market as an arena for the reproduction of advantage. It employs a comparative approach, using administrative data from four countries: Sweden, Austria, England, and the United States. It also incorporates evidence from a broader set of nations through cross-national surveys, longitudinal household surveys, labor force surveys, secondary data, and digital trace data. The project employs cutting-edge empirical methods, including quasi- experimental designs, event studies, within-family comparisons, decomposition analyses, counterfactual simulations, and diagnostic checks to rigorously assess the extent of inequalities in the labor market. The research investigates how family background influences the sorting of individuals to employers and workplaces, accounting for education and occupation, and explores variations in career progression within and between employers. It comprehensively catalogues and assesses mechanisms shaping workplace inequality, contributing to the development of social closure theory. Additionally, the project evaluates intervention strategies, encompassing both employer practices and government actions, to promote fair opportunity in the labor market.

Their clock is not always correct, sometimes they like to party early mornings as well 🎉. Their brains are so small, i don’t understand how they can learn something at all.
How did our cats learn the clock? They mjau every morning just a few minutes before the alarm sounds.

Yesterday, @anatra.bsky.social had her half-time seminar for her PhD! Half-baked doctor! I am very proud and looking forward to the coming years 🥳
Our accountant assured me I do have a job next year. And the year after that too. I am very fortunate.
Soon December and time to have look if I still have a job next year. Kind regards Externally funded researcher
Time to reconsider what I thought I would be able to finish before the year ends. The semester just started? But somehow we are mid-November?
Looking forward to teaching this training course on diff-in-diff.
Registration still possible!
Thank you so much for your thoughts! The competition is very hard, so many incredible researchers out there. I am happy I can continue to do research for a little while longer.
Congratulations to our colleagues Eva Andersson (PI), Ida Borg and Juta Kawalerowicz who received funding from Forte for a 3-year project on "How neighbourhood, school and crime redirect the individual’s life course". Grattis! @evaandersson.bsky.social @idaborg.bsky.social @jutakaw.bsky.social
I am thrilled to announce that my own project was not funded today. But I have a part in Eva Andersson’s project on crime, schools and children’s life-courses.
Is childhood exposure to local wealth inequality associated with upward income mobility achieved in adulthood? Yes! Check out my new paper, just published in @natureportfolio.nature.com here: doi.org/10.1038/s414... #EconSky #Sociology #Demography
