🧵 on new paper w/ Abi Adams-Prassl, Kristiina Huttunen & Ning Zhang: 'Violence Against Women at Work'

I'm very sad to have missed your talk and visit at USC Economics. I hope we'll meet soon in Princeton, Yale, LA, or elsewhere!

Indeed!Thanks so much to Ricardo Perez-Truglia Gabriel Zucman for including papers from a wide range of contexts. Feels like a mini version of our annual Zurich PF + Devpt conference!

p.s. How do you describe a conference to kids?I said I was going to a 'show and tell' about my work😆

It has been very saddening but not altogether surprising to follow #econtwitter ’s current #metoo moment. A short 🧵 based on my experience conducting research related to reporting of (sexual) harassment.
