Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 98: Nina Roussille on the Gender Ask Gap
Q: Should we care that much about this subset of people in high-skilled professions?
Yes, because while the ask gap shows less difference at entry-level jobs, it becomes more significant for experienced workers, impacting their lifetime earnings significantly.
Episode 98: Nina Roussille on the Gender Ask Gap
Q: Could you expand a bit more on this gender ask gap? What does that mean?
The gender ask gap is the difference in salary requests between men and women with similar qualifications, which can impact final salary offers from employers.
Episode 98: Nina Roussille on the Gender Ask Gap
Q: What are the explanations that have been proposed in the literature for the existence of the gender pay gap?
There are demand-side explanations involving direct discrimination by employers, and supply-side reasons such as women being less competitive or not negotiating as much as men.
Episode 95: Andrea Matranga on the Causes of the Neolithic Revolution
Q: What is the explanation that you propose and then test in this paper?
The paper posits that seasonal variations in climate pushed humans to become sedentary to store food, leading indirectly to agriculture.
Episode 95: Andrea Matranga on the Causes of the Neolithic Revolution
Q: How will we know or why do we believe that this is the case?
Paleopathological evidence shows early farmers were shorter and had more joint diseases compared to hunter-gatherers, indicating worse health.
