Erratic earnings across a year are more common for young workers, part-time workers, low-paid workers, workers on temporary contracts, and workers in hospitality. One-in-four (24 per cent) young people (aged 20-24) experience erratic pay over a year.

Was Michael Gove right? There's a brave question to start a thread about my latest post... But in the current turmoil it might help liberals to think through the limits of 'expert-led politics', which is but one branch of liberalism. 🧵1/n benansell.substack.com/p/politics-w...

What do we know about volatility in people's wages? Lots from rich, small-scale, studies, but not from large-scale data-sets. Join us on Tuesday as we share work on a newly-available administrative source covering over 250,000 people's monthly and weekly pay cheques over 5 years.

Saddened by the news that @iza.org is closing down by the end of this year 💔 It's hard to overstate the importance of this organisation for the field of labour economics, and empirical micro at large I definitely wouldn't be where I am without IZA and the opportunities it offered to PhD students 🙏

Thread here on last week's LPC report. Something I wanted to add: LPC don't mention the increase in employer NICs coming alongside min wage increase in April. It's not mentioned because LPC's report is about the thinking underpinning their rates recommendations, which came before the budget 1/n

As any good psychologist, I barely ever read anything written by people outside of my field and have no idea who most of them are. But the first time I read something by Manski I immediately knew that he must be an absolute legend, and he hasn't disappointed so far.
