My favorite part of that story was the incentive effect of the "speed Premium" in Sweden -- have another child within a few years (1-3?) of a previous child and women are guaranteed no drop in pay after the first child. And child bearing was sped up! I plan to use this one in class as an example that incentives matter.
Malcolm, great to hear from you. I recently talked to some of your students and they told me how much they love the podcast you assign in class and how it helps them connect the course material to real-world events. Your students appreciate your teaching, just wanted you to know.
