The analysis compares firm-specific and sectoral shocks with an instrumental variables strategy based on leave-one-out sectoral sales growth. Three main results emerge. Wages are almost fully insured against idiosyncratic firm shocks, with elasticities around 2%. In contrast, wages co-move strongly with aggregate shocks: the elasticity with respect to sectoral sales changes is about 0.07, and even higher in manufacturing, construction and machine-operator jobs. These results show that aggregate shocks pass through even on a short, quarterly time horizon, while firms provide insurance against firm-specific shocks. This implies that changing macroeconomic or monetary conditions can affect wages even at the quarterly level.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 372","pages":"1206-1224"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148862527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we conduct a large-scale randomized controlled trial with 20,187 users of the <i>WeWard</i> app in France to evaluate the effectiveness of different message framings and intervention durations on app engagement and walking behaviour. Participants were randomly assigned to receive one of three types of messages, each leveraging distinct behavioural features such as peer comparison, self-comparison or a generic reminder, over a period of one or three weeks. Our results show that peer-comparison messages positively influence the extensive margin of app utilization. However, despite these increases in app usage, neither type of message led to a significant increase in the number of steps walked. These findings highlight the limitations of relying on engagement metrics alone when evaluating app-based interventions aimed at behaviour change.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 372","pages":"1225-1259"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecca.70053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148862381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But future performance is not known prior to assignment, and must be inferred from other traits. We consider a model in which performance depends on two attributes—ability and training—where ability is endowed and unobserved, and training is acquired and observed. The potential to acquire training depends on ability and resource access, so ability affects performance through two channels: indirectly through training, and directly through the performance function. The population consists of two groups, each with the same ability distribution, but with differential access to resources. We show that performance-maximizing allocations are not necessarily group-blind or monotonic in training, and can involve greater representation of groups with lower resource access than would arise if the only criteria for selection were past performance. If policies are constrained to be monotonic due to the possibility of strategic applicant behaviour, then these representation effects can be mitigated or amplified, depending on the fraction of the population that is selected.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 372","pages":"1446-1463"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148862448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of the most frequently used approaches to measuring mobility or inequality of opportunity fit within a general framework that involves, as a first step, an estimation of the extent to which inherited personal characteristics can predict current incomes. We suggest a new approach, within that broad framework, that is sensitive to differences across the entire conditional distributions of relevant population subgroups, rather than just in their means. Sensitivity to differences in higher moments of the conditional distributions allows for a comprehensive assessment of inherited inequality. We apply this approach to household income distributions in China, India, South Africa and the USA, to illustrate how the method performs in different settings. We find that inherited inequality accounts for large shares of total inequality, from 36% in the USA to 59% in China, 62% in India, and 81% in South Africa.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 372","pages":"1300-1335"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148862493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that ageing is associated with increases in universalism in early adulthood and declining universalism among older individuals, but the magnitude of these changes remains very small. Similarly, major life events—such as starting higher education, first-time parenthood, positive income shocks and retirement—are linked to at best minor and short-lived changes in universalism.
