I presented work on simulating inheritances using survey data and microsimulations at the 2024 annual meeting of the Population Association of America. You can find the slides here and the working paper here (DOI:10.4054/MPIDR-WP-2024-008).
With Wenqing Qian (and a few others), we published our research on how Weibo’s audience demographics (as Weibo understands them) compare to the districts they live in Weibo localizes them in: “Demographic inequalities in digital spaces in China: the case of Weibo.”
Wenqing is a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan. You should follow her.
I also collaborated on a meta-analysis of field experiments of racial discrimination in hiring (often called “audit studies”). We found that discrimination against African-Americans in the United States has not changed since 1990. We also compared discrimination across nine countries. We found evidence for discrimination in all countries and against five different minority groups.

My dissertation research analyzes financial transfers from parents to adult children in twenty European countries.
My dissertation research analyzed financial transfers from parents to adult children in twenty European countries.
I used the Survey of Ageing, Health and Retirement in Europe to examine how the number and gender of sibs influences transfers, which events in the children’s lives (unemployment, divorce, childbirth) trigger transfers, and how these transfers evolve over time.
