Research at the Department of Economics receives international attention

Have you seen the Netflix series Bridgerton on the 19th century London season marriage market for the aristocracy? Marc Goni`s research on this market has received international media attention. His paper “Assortative matching at the top of the distribution: Evidence from the world's most exclusive marriage market” was published in American Economic Journal – Applied Economics in July 2022.

The article got attention from the media at the radio Freakonomics Radio, episode 511, "Why Did You Marry That Person" and at the press at The Times, "How Prince Albert's death ended debutantes' season in sun" [by Tom Whipple] and at Axios, "What happened when the rich stopped intermarrying" [by Felix Salmon]. 

Also, Anantha Divakaruni’s research is being noticed by the international press. His article “Uncovering Retail Trading in Bitcoin: The Impact of COVID-19 Stimulus Checks” was featured recently in Bloomberg News: https://bloom.bg/3wyx4Fl.
