One of the papers that lives rent free in my mind is this paper by Branko Milanovic, Jeffrey Williamson and Peter Lindert on Pre-industrial inequalities. http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/MilanovicLindertWilliamson2011.pdf
The reason? They find that both in colonial times and in the present, Mexico is one of the most unequal countries in the world.
Today is “Día de muertos” in Mexico and during all my childhood I lived in a neighborhood adjacent to a graveyard.
The day is filled with music, food, people celebrating their loved ones and remembering the good times they had with them.
It is my favorite festivity, even though I’m a recalcitrant atheist.
In a bit of an unexpected turn, I'll be talking about this paper next week at the Mexican Congress.
The reason? A Congresswoman proposed a law change to reduce Mexican movies' reliance on stereotypes based on ethnicity and skin tones.
Great new #CEPR Vox Column by Claudia Goldin, Claudia Olivetti, Sari Pekkala Kerr
Motherhood penalty is greatly reduced as children grow up and women work more hours, but ...
the parental #gender gap in earnings remains substantial for college-educated and high-school graduates alike.

Gender earnings gaps increase with age and fluctuate through the family lifecycle. This column uses data tracing individuals from their twenties to their fifties to estimate the three components of the parental gender gap in earnings: the ‘motherhood penalty’, the ‘price of being female’, and the ‘fatherhood premium’. As the children grow up and as women work more hours, the motherhood penalty is greatly reduced, but fathers manage to expand their relative gains, particularly among college graduates. The parental gender gap in earnings remains substantial for college-educated and high-school graduates alike.
Sharing my new paper on the differences in intergenerational mobility in the economic dimension along ethnic origin and skin tone lines in Mexico.
My findings suggest that the indigenous populations converge to a lower part of the distribution than the non-indigenous populations. Crucially, there is a colorist gradient among both populations: light skin is associated with achieving a higher rank in the distribution.
