You have people on here on ignore don’t you? Because I swear some of the people here follow that path way too much.

Wow. Amazing that Harvard published it.

Wow. Amazing that Harvard published it.

I don't think they had a choice...

You think Harvard was forced to publish it?

By whom?

Look who they gave thanks to... one name sticks out to me more than most...

We want to thank Benjamin Enke, Edward Glaeser, Claudia Goldin, Nathaniel Hendren, Lawrence Katz, Jeff Liebman, Amanda Pallais, Andrei Shleifer, Jane Waldfogel, and participants of the Public Finance and Labor Economics Workshop at Harvard for helpful comments and suggestions. We are indebted to Joshua Abel, Siddharth George, Emma Harrington, Dev Patel, and Jonathan Roth. This project would not have been possible without the support of dedicated public servants at the MBTA, including Michael Abramo, David Carney, Anna Gartsman, Philip Groth, Norman Michaud, Laurel Paget-Seekins, Steve Poftak, Vincent Reina, and Monica Tibbits-Nutt. Illan Rodriguez-Marin Freudmann and Ezra Stoller were essential in helping administer a survey to help supplement our findings. We are grateful for financial support from the National Science Foundation, the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, and the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston at the Harvard Kennedy School.

You may be right.
Can’t bury the research funded by big donors if you want to keep the cash flowing.

This is part of the story. The effect is cumulative. Women work less hours because they are the primary caregivers, they don't move up as much because they can't put in more hours, and then the full effect of the snowball happens in retirement when they have much less to retire on.
