Paul Bose

I am a postdoctoral reseracher at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata. My research interests are in Applied Microeconometrics, focusing on Political Economy, Media Economics, the Economics of Migration and Sports Economics. My research combines text data with machine learning and natural experiments.

In my job market paper I study the role of personalization on a large social network using a platform-wide change for new users. I show that affected users, especially young adults and women, interact more with similar users and view different content. These users also view less content opposed to gender equality. The paper has important implications for understanding recent trends of increasing polarization between young men and women.
