Join us for the next SITE Seminar! On March 18, 2025, Michał Myck (Centre for Economic Analysis - CenEA) will present a working paper on "The Time Cost of a Disability", co-authored with Daniel S. Hamermesh. The study examines how physical disabilities alter time use, leading to a loss of activity variety and increased time pressure. Findings from multiple countries, including the U.S., Poland, Italy, and Spain, reveal that individuals with disabilities engage in significantly fewer activities, with economic costs equivalent to as much as $240,000 per year.

Upjohn Institute for Employment Research) will present a working paper on The Unequal Impact of Firms on the Gender Wage Gap. The study, co-authored with an international team of researchers, examines the role of firms in shaping gender wage disparities across the United States and 10 European countries. The findings highlight the influence of firm wage premiums, gender differences in pay-setting, and the sorting of women into lower-wage firms.
