Very happy with this new paper from our project comparing labour market trajectories of mothers with administrative data. We compare how big and how socioeconomically stratified employment reductions following motherhood in 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 are. TLDR: Much bigger in 🇩🇪 , but (!!) much more stratified in 🇫🇷

Fascinating paper, but I am even more amazed by the idea of getting rid of humans to do research on humans.

I appreciate the people who are doing empirical research that demonstrates the problems with this sort of thing. What I’d really love to see is a #philsci take on the question. What is the epistemic value of an LLM simulated research subject? Has anyone written anything on this?
