University of CopenhagenAssociate Prof, U. of Copenhagen. I am looking forward to presenting our team’s work “Early Careers, Life Cycle-Choices and Gender” at the EEA meetings. We ask whether early labor market experiences determine longer run life and career choices. We exploit a lottery that determines the sorting of Danish physicians into internships following medical school. While males in the longer-run are unaffected, lucky versus unlucky females experience clear divergence in their following careers.
