New @RF_Berlin Discussion Paper by @MimosaDistefano, @l_incoronato, and Anna Raute @QMUL on the effects of female-targeted hiring subsidies on firm learning and women’s employment: rfberlin.com/network-paper/f…
Can a temporary hiring subsidy have lasting effects after it ends?
New research by Mimosa Distefano (@CEP_LSE & @RF_Berlin), Lorenzo Incoronato (@csef_unina, @CESifoNetwork & @RF_Berlin) and Anna Raute (@QMUL, @CEPR_org, @CESifoNetwork & @RF_Berlin) studies Italy’s “Bonus Donne”.
😀Happy to see my new paper published!
I show that gender differences in teacher grading vary substantially across school subjects—and are particularly pronounced in German & math.
Many thanks to @j_bredtmann & @Vonn_Chris for their support throughout this project.
📢 New in Economics Letters!
How do gender differences in teacher grading vary across school subjects?
📄 New research by @s_otten21 provides evidence from Germany across six subjects.

Read the new CReAM@RFBerlin report by @RF_Berlin’s Christian Dustmann, Tommaso Frattini and Camilla Piovesan on the employment of immigrants in the European Union: rfberlin.com/cream-report/06…
Employment is at its highest level since 2017, but Europe is still leaving talent untapped.
Better recognition of foreign qualifications, improved job matching, and stronger support for non-EU immigrant women could help unlock underused talent and ease labour shortages across Europe.
