This past spring, Dani Rodrik invited me to the Harvard @kennedy_school to speak on "Hyperglobalization is Dead, What Will Replace It?"

It was at the first conference of Economists for Inclusive Prosperity. And in response to Dani's question—"What is the promise of labor mobility?"—I answered that labor mobility is a *form* of Inclusive Prosperity.

Countering Gender-Typicality in Occupational Choices: An Information Intervention Targeted at Adolescents http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iso:educat:0207
"…an equivalent intervention featuring counter-stereotypical framing and male role models in typically female jobs in health and care does not increase men’s applications for those jobs. Thus, strategies that work for women—such as portraying role models—do not necessarily work for men."

Why Do #Wages Grow Faster for Educated Workers? http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:nbr:nberwo:31373
"…explained by occupational sorting. Shortly after graduating, workers with college degrees shift into professional, nonroutine occupations with much greater returns to tenure. Nearly 90% of life cycle wage growth occurs within rather than between jobs."

Job Levels & #Wages http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp16177&r=lma
…the job level—described by the complexity, autonomy, and responsibility of task execution—of a worker’s job accounts for a large fraction of observed wage differences across workers & over the life cycle. While occupations & the derived task-based approach describe what tasks a job holder executes, job levels capture how tasks are executed, capturing differences both within & across occupations.

"The Contribution of High-Skilled Immigrants to Innovation in the United States"

#NewPaperAlert by Berstein et al. —> https://www.nber.org/papers/w30797 #LaborEcon

Uses a remarkably innovative strategy for causal identification by tracing the effects of premature deaths of #immigrant inventors on innovation by the colleagues they leave behind.

Most of the effect of #immigration on innovation, they find, is spillovers to others! Not innovation *by* immigrants.
