New research from Rice Business and MIT Sloan School of Management finds that U.S. voters hold opposing politicians to strict standards of #factuality but support their favorite politicians — as long as their statements express a “deeper truth.' Minjae Kim ezrazuckermansivan.bsky.social

New paper just accepted at Demography Journal with Regina Baker & Ryan Finnigan: “The Role of Single Motherhood in America’s High Child Poverty.”
The role is small or modest. The US would have HIGH child poverty even if there was ZERO single motherhood.

Big thanks to Austin Clemens for letting me talk about how awesome it is to work at Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics and shout out the incredible scholarship of folks like Regina Baker, Elizabeth Korver-Glenn, Davon Norris, Mariko Chang, Thomas M Shapiro, and more.
One interesting point, which Yonatan Berman has also found, is that relative mobility (in rank terms) has minimal impact on absolute mobility. That's bc relative mobility is zero-sum: one person moving up means someone else going down. Abs mobility depends on the income distribution
We have a new paper out in AEJ: Applied! Measuring Absolute Income Mobility: Lessons from North America and Europe, joint with Maximilian Hell Adrian Adermon Jo Blanden Anne C. Gielen Stephen Machin Martin D. Munk Martin Nybom Outi Sirniö + others not on Twitter aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

A few studies find that personal earnings inequality (finally) declined in the US from 2010-2022. But, a twist: household income inequality continued to climb. What explains the discordant inequality trends? See our new WP w/ Lukas Lehner & Nathan Wilmers: iza.org/publications/d…
This is so bittersweet to see. Council of Economic Advisers starts their report with a dedicated chapter for the late William E. Spriggs, whose work continues to be a beacon.
