Economists care more and more about meaningful work! But who has more meaningful jobs in the labor market? Some key patterns from our recent paper in Management Science using nationwide Swedish survey data (N=121,000) (doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2022.01…). 1/8

Instead, taste-based discrimination & the absence of sanctions for interference likely drives these inequalities .
CONCLUSION: quotas alone are not enough. Complementary interventions sanctions required to ensure that gender quotas generate substantive change. 4/5

Why? We point to several reinforcing mechanisms. But stress that selection mechanisms & statistical discrimination are only a small part of the story.

Relying on behavioral & reputational measures of voice/centrality/influence, we compare women elected on gender quotas vs. others (mostly, men).
Findings are GRIM: women appear less central on every metric, & are seen as less central by all pol. actors-inc. themselves.

🚨 forthcoming @The_JOP: super excited that the 1st paper on project with @AlyssaRHeinze & @BruleRachel is now accepted.
We show that inequality does not stop at the gate of political office: Indian women face large inequalities in voice & centrality AFTER they reach office 1/n
