Just don't! So much of my econometrics class is spent un-doing common misconceptions like this.
Normality of errors is not needed
Heteroskedasticity is not a problem for bias
Multicollenearity is not a problem for bias

Excited to share our new study in @ESR_news: @A_B_Andersson and I analyze how social networks contribute to class divides in attitudes to economic inequality, expanding on our previous work on Sweden with a country-comparative perspective using the @ISSP_survey.
Curious about how peoples’ social ties to different class positions shape their attitudes to income inequality, and how this varies by country and institutional context?

📢New paper in #OpenAccess!
How does the birth lottery shape your life?
@pengzell and @HallstenMartin get into the weeds about what sibling comparisons reveal – and what they don't!

New at Nature Human Behaviour w/ Esping-Andersen, Pintro-Schmitt & @PFallesen: The intergenerational persistence of poverty (the link between poverty in childhood vs. adulthood) is 4x stronger in the US than in Denmark and 2x stronger than in UK/AUS. Why? nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

What happens to political attitudes when entire occupations disappear? SOFI's Orsa Kekezi is contributing to a new @forteforskning -funded project led by Johannes Lindvall (@goteborgsuni). The study explores how the disappearance of entire professions affects political attitudes.

This will be fun :).
Replying to @SOFI_su_se
@adamaltmejd project is called "The Faces of Inequality". Using registry data and #AI technology that analyzes passport photos, the project investigates appearance-based discrimination in Sweden.
I am honored and happy to receive the @forteforskning Starting Grant for my project on Origins and Opportunities. I will now spend the coming years working on how (childhood) income inequality is related to educational opportunities and mobility.
Let's hear it for @MaxThaning, Carina Mood and @adamaltmejd who have have been awarded research grants from @forteforskning to study inequality, discrimination and young people's future prospects in Sweden!

Read @Nature's coverage of @annahsandberg et al's research about PhD-student's mental health: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…?
Very interesting study from SOFI's @annahsandberg et al: PhD students are at a significantly higher risk of mental health issues compared to their peers with master's degrees. 🧵

In our latest AJS paper, we show that life courses differ across four EU countries only for disadvantaged groups, likely due to varying welfare states and responsibilities of state, market, and family.
Collaboration with A. Fasang, @AleksiKarhula, @zafer_113, and S.B. Andrade.
New publication alert!
How do work & family life courses differ in welfare states across Europe? Explore findings from a study co-authored by @selcukbeduk (Departmental Lecturer @DSPI_Oxford) ⬇️

How well are different family and household types protected against income poverty through tax-benefit systems in 🇧🇪🇭🇷🇵🇱🇪🇸🇸🇪🇬🇧?
Our findings emphasise the need for policies reflecting family diversity, particularly pressing for single parent families.
