📊 Using data from fifth-grade students in Madrid and Berlin, we examine how air pollution affects cognitive ability and cognitive effort.

Key findings: 📍 Cumulative ozone exposure in the 2 months before a test is negatively associated with cognitive ability. 📍 Little evidence of a relationship between air pollution and cognitive effort. 📍 Effects are similar across children from different social backgrounds.

El principal resultado es que los y las escolares de familias privilegiadas muestran un mayor esfuerzo cognitivo que los de entornos desfavorecidos, sobre todo cuando no existe recompensa.
Si no me va a servir para nada, ¿para qué me voy a esforzar? 🤷

The EFFORT team knows that hard work pays off. Our project began in 2018, and the central findings have now been published in the American Sociological Review!

Key result: socioeconomic gaps in effort favor privileged children but are modest in size and can be substantially reduced with incentives.

Our evidence from Germany shows that the personality of siblings differs a lot in adolescence.
Curiously, children from the same family become more similar in early adulthood.

We find that parental support is a strong driver of personality differences between adolescent siblings, although this effect wanes in early adulthood.

New #inequality paper!
I find that rising inequality in the U.S. links with wider socio-economic gaps in what -and how much- economic support parents give to young adults 👵👴➡️👨🦱
Very happy to see this out in @SF_Journal:
