Very happy to see our paper in pre-print. It was a wonderful ride of discovery with two wonderful co-authors, Anna Sanz de Galeano and Asia Terskaya.
Birds of a Feather Earn Together: Gender and Peer Effects at the Workplace Julián Messina, Anna Sanz-de-Galdeano and Anastasia Terskaya Utilizing comprehensive administrative data from Brazil, we investigate the impact of peer effects on wages, considering both within-gender and cross-gender dynamics. Since the average productivity of both individuals and their peers is unobservable, we estimate these values using worker fixed effects while accounting for occupational and firm sorting. Our findings reveal that within-gender peer effects have approximately twice the influence of cross-gender peer effects on wages for both men and women. Furthermore, we observe a reduction in the disparity between these two types of peer effects in settings characterized by greater gender equality.
Your work besties literally make you richer. @jmessina.bsky.social, Anna Sanz-de-Galdeano, and Anastasia Terskaya find that same-gender coworkers boost your wages 2x more than opposite-gender peers. #GenderEquality at work = smaller gap.

"We now have a 50% tariff on Brazil, because it puts in jail its insurrectionists. And so that means for those of us who drink Brazilian coffee: Your next coffee comes with an insurrection infusion fee, as we try to support those who put the coup in coup-pucino."
