The Workshop "Immigration and Refugee Inflows: The Impact on Host Country Economies" was a great success! Thank you to all the participants for bringing all of your great ideas, presentations and discussions to FU Berlin (@fu-berlin-vwl.bsky.social, @bsoeberlin.bsky.social)
See you next time!
The notion that politicians’ identity, including their gender, can influence policy outcomes is supported by a growing body of empirical research. This column reports a study exploring the extent to which the share of women members in national governments during the Covid-19 pandemic shaped the policy responses. Higher female representation was associated with a lower likelihood of schools being closed – not because women politicians were less concerned about the spread of the virus but due to their heightened awareness of the costs of school closures, notably for working mothers with young children. The results indicate the potential benefits of more gender-balanced governments in shaping policies that affect the wellbeing, education, and economic prospects of children and families.
More female representation in government was associated with a lower chance of school closures during COVID - due to their heightened awareness of the costs of school closures.

El cierre de colegios durante la pandemia generó pérdidas importantes de aprendizaje y retrasos en desarrollo de niños, niñas y adolescentes.
Un análisis en países EU-28 muestra que a mayor porcentaje de mujeres en el Gobierno que tomó estas decisiones, menor probabilidad hubo de cerrar colegios.
@danzernatalia.bsky.social @steinhardt.bsky.social @lucastella.bsky.social
Muy contento que nuestro trabajo sobre la representación de mujeres en gobiernos nacionales y los cierres de colegios durante la pandemia haya sido destacado en @nadaesgratis.bsky.social !

I am very excited to share my #JMP with you all, which is titled:
"Unequal Access: How Public #Library Closures Affect Educational Performance". 📚
Together with Gregory Gilpin, I look at public library closures and how the loss of these public spaces impacts children in the United States. 1/5
the one where women's representation matters (because it ALWAYS matters):
📣 #EconSky: In our recent work—with @danzernatalia.bsky.social, @steinhardt.bsky.social and @lucastella28.bsky.social —we uncover a significant link between women in political leadership roles and school closure policies during the Covid-19 crisis. Read more: www.economic-policy.org/78th-economi...
