Using Swiss panel data and a novel shift-share instrument measuring men’s exposure to changes in the gender composition of the labor force across industries (labor market feminization), we make two contributions. First, labor market feminization negatively affects men’s income and employment prospects, making men more conservative in their gender attitudes. Second, while labor market feminization affects gender attitudes within the private sphere, in a context of low politicization of gender by political elites, it does not influence broader political outcomes like policy preferences or far-right voting.

Vedovotto founded Kering Eyewear in 2014, convincing François-Henri Pinault to internalize eyewear production for Kering’s luxury brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent. Kering could in this way control design, quality, and distribution of its eyewear products. In the following years, following an agreement with the luxury group Richemont, which became a co-owner, Kering Eyewear also included four Richemont eyewear brands, among which the high-end one Cartier. By 2024, Kering Eyewear was the second-largest eyewear manufacturer, generating 1.5 billion in revenue. However, slowing growth in China’s luxury market was expected to impact sunglasses sales, which accounted for 70% of its business. Vedovotto now faced the challenge of managing and growing a portfolio of brands, which included house brands and eyewear-only brands.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row-left tablet-visible mobile-visible"> <div class="span1"><img loading="lazy" src="https://www.hbs.edu/Style%20Library/api/headshot.aspx?id=6447" class="fluid stroke4 black-border" alt=""><img loading="lazy" src="https://www.hbs.edu/Style%20Library/api/headshot.aspx?id=100370" class="fluid stroke4 black-border" alt=""></div> <div class="span99"> <div class="readmore" style="max-height:none;"> <ul class="linear mu-uc"> <li>October 2024</li> <li class="ash">Case</li> </ul> <div class="shim10"></div><a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66577" class="no-append"> <h2 class="beta">Kering Eyewear</h2></a><div class="shim15"></div> <div class="nu add-underline">By: <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=6447&click=byline">Rohit Deshpandé</a>, <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=100370&click=byline">Dante Roscini</a> and Elena Corsi</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <p>In June 2024, Roberto Vedovotto, CEO of Kering Eyewear, prepared to discuss the future of the recently acquired brands LINDBERG, a Danish optical eyewear brand, and Maui Jim, an American sunglasses brand.

Using Canadian Homescan Panel Data, we estimate that spending on discounts reduced the change in the average unit price by 4.1 percentage points, but expenditure switching to cheaper brands raised it by 2.8 percentage points.</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="mu regular add-underline"><span><strong>Keywords: </strong></span><a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Macroeconomics">Macroeconomics</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Inflation and Deflation">Inflation and Deflation</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Price">Price</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Consumer Behavior">Consumer Behavior</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Personal Finance">Personal Finance</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Product Positioning">Product Positioning</a></div> <div class="shim10"></div> <div class="publication-extras-container toggle-container add-underline"> <div class="publication-extras" style="display: flex; flex-direction: row;"> <div><a href="#frCitation2" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Citation for Price Discounts and Cheapflation During the Post-Pandemic Inflation Surge">Citation</a></div> <div style="min-width:110px;"><a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/download.aspx?name=Price-discounts-and-cheapflation-during-the-post-pa_2024_Journal-of-Monetary.pdf" class="pub-extra-item black mu" aria-label="Read Price Discounts and Cheapflation During the Post-Pandemic Inflation Surge Now">Read Now</a></div> <div class="relatedpopout-trigger"><a href="#frRelated2" data-item-url="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66153" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Related publications about Price Discounts and Cheapflation During the Post-Pandemic Inflation Surge">Related</a></div> </div> <div id="frCitation2" class="frCitation nu has-slide" style="margin-top: 10px; display:none;">Cavallo, Alberto, and Oleksiy Kryvtsov. <A HREF="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/download.aspx?name=Price-discounts-and-cheapflation-during-the-post-pa_2024_Journal-of-Monetary.pdf">"Price Discounts and Cheapflation During the Post-Pandemic Inflation Surge."</A> <I>Journal of Monetary Economics</I> 148 (November 2024).</div> <div id="frRelated2" class="frRelated nu has-slide" style="margin-top: 10px; display:none;"></div> </div> <div class="shim30"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="media" data-wcm-edit-url=""> <div class="row-left"> <div class="span99"><a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66577" aria-label="Kering Eyewear faculty & research publication detail page"> <h2 class="eta">Kering Eyewear</h2></a><div class="nu add-underline">By: <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=6447&click=byline">Rohit Deshpandé</a>, <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=100370&click=byline">Dante Roscini</a> and Elena Corsi</div> <ul class="linear mu regular ash" style="margin-top: 5px;"> <li style="margin-right: 0px;"><span class="mu-uc regular">October 2024</span> | </li> <li style="margin-right: 0px;">Case | </li> <li>Faculty Research</li> </ul> <div class="shim10"></div> <div class="add-underline">In June 2024, Roberto Vedovotto, CEO of Kering Eyewear, prepared to discuss the future of the recently acquired brands LINDBERG, a Danish optical eyewear brand, and Maui Jim, an American sunglasses brand. Vedovotto founded Kering Eyewear in 2014, convincing François-Henri Pinault to internalize eyewear production for Kering’s luxury brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent. Kering could in this way control design, quality, and distribution of its eyewear products. In the following years, following an agreement with the luxury group Richemont, which became a co-owner, Kering Eyewear also included four Richemont eyewear brands, among which the high-end one Cartier. By 2024, Kering Eyewear was the second-largest eyewear manufacturer, generating 1.5 billion in revenue. However, slowing growth in China’s luxury market was expected to impact sunglasses sales, which accounted for 70% of its business. Vedovotto now faced the challenge of managing and growing a portfolio of brands, which included house brands and eyewear-only brands.</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="mu regular add-underline"><span><strong>Keywords: </strong></span><a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Marketing Strategy">Marketing Strategy</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Brands and Branding">Brands and Branding</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Product Marketing">Product Marketing</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Fashion Industry">Fashion Industry</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Apparel and Accessories Industry">Apparel and Accessories Industry</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Consumer Products Industry">Consumer Products Industry</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Italy">Italy</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Europe">Europe</a></div> <div class="shim10"></div> <div class="publication-extras-container toggle-container add-underline"> <div class="publication-extras" style="display: flex; flex-direction: row;"> <div><a href="#frCitation3" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Citation for Kering Eyewear">Citation</a></div> <div><a href="http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/product/525027-PDF-ENG" class="pub-extra-item black mu" aria-label="Educators for Kering Eyewear">Educators</a></div> <div class="relatedpopout-trigger"><a href="#frRelated3" data-item-url="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66577" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Related publications about Kering Eyewear">Related</a></div> </div> <div id="frCitation3" class="frCitation nu has-slide" style="margin-top: 10px; display:none;">Deshpandé, Rohit, Dante Roscini, and Elena Corsi.

Edizione expanded significantly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly through the acquisition of public assets, including Italy's highway network. The company faced a major crisis when a bridge under its management collapsed, resulting in the deaths of 43 people. Under the leadership of Alessandro Benetton, the second generation of the family took control and steered the company through the crisis. They sold the highway business to the Italian government, successfully resisted a hostile takeover, and implemented new governance structures to guide the company's future. The case study asks students what is left of the family legacy and how should the holding manage its assets in the future, in particular if it should sell the loss-making Benetton fashion brand.</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="mu regular add-underline"><span><strong>Keywords: </strong></span><a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Leadership Style">Leadership Style</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Leading Change">Leading Change</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Leadership Development">Leadership Development</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Family Business">Family Business</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Family Ownership">Family Ownership</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Communication Strategy">Communication Strategy</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Crisis Management">Crisis Management</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Management Style">Management Style</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Change Management">Change Management</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Asset Management">Asset Management</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Management Succession">Management Succession</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Private Equity">Private Equity</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Corporate Governance">Corporate Governance</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Organizational Culture">Organizational Culture</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Reputation">Reputation</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Public Opinion">Public Opinion</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Air Transportation Industry">Air Transportation Industry</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Fashion Industry">Fashion Industry</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Transportation Industry">Transportation Industry</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Travel Industry">Travel Industry</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Italy">Italy</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Europe">Europe</a></div> <div class="shim10"></div> <div class="publication-extras-container toggle-container add-underline"> <div class="publication-extras" style="display: flex; flex-direction: row;"> <div><a href="#frCitation4" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Citation for Edizione">Citation</a></div> <div><a href="http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/product/725395-PDF-ENG" class="pub-extra-item black mu" aria-label="Educators for Edizione">Educators</a></div> <div class="relatedpopout-trigger"><a href="#frRelated4" data-item-url="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66514" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Related publications about Edizione">Related</a></div> </div> <div id="frCitation4" class="frCitation nu has-slide" style="margin-top: 10px; display:none;">Montgomery, Cynthia A., Dante Roscini, Elena Corsi, and Hugo Etchegoyhen.

While some policymakers, especially in the US, have feared that China holds ambitions for the renminbi (RMB) to replace the dollar as a global reserve currency, we argue that this is far from the case. China’s ambitions have been to internationalize the renminbi, but, as a result of domestic financial turmoil and a reckoning over the tradeoffs of sovereignty and currency internationalization, those ambitions have been moderated substantially over the last decade. We argue that the US ought to encourage renminbi internationalization as a costless means of assurance to China, to incentivize reform and moderation, and to encourage a system of monetary co-existence that neither strains the dollar nor generates a bifurcated global financial system.</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="mu regular add-underline"><span><strong>Keywords: </strong></span><a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=International Relations">International Relations</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Currency">Currency</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Macroeconomics">Macroeconomics</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Globalized Economies and Regions">Globalized Economies and Regions</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=China">China</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=United States">United States</a></div> <div class="shim10"></div> <div class="publication-extras-container toggle-container add-underline"> <div class="publication-extras" style="display: flex; flex-direction: row;"> <div><a href="#frCitation5" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Citation for What Future for the Renminbi in the Global Monetary System?">Citation</a></div> <div><a href="https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2024/10/us-china-relations-for-the-2030s-toward-a-realistic-scenario-for-coexistence#what-future-for-the-renminbi-in-the-global-monetary-system" class="pub-extra-item black mu" aria-label="Read What Future for the Renminbi in the Global Monetary System?

Such forecasts are appealing because demographic trends are often predictable even over long horizons. We backtest demographic forecasts using data on US elections since 1952. We envision a forecaster who fits a model using data from a given election and uses that model, in tandem with a projection of demographic trends, to predict future elections. Even a forecaster with perfect knowledge of future demographic trends would have performed poorly over this period—worse even than one who simply guesses that each election will have a 50-50 partisan split. Enriching the set of demographics available does not change this conclusion. We discuss both mechanical and economic reasons for this finding, and show suggestive evidence that parties adjust their platforms in accordance with changes in the electorate.</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="mu regular add-underline"><span><strong>Keywords: </strong></span><a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Mathematical Methods">Mathematical Methods</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Voting">Voting</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Political Elections">Political Elections</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Trends">Trends</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Forecasting and Prediction">Forecasting and Prediction</a>; <a href="/faculty/research/publications/Pages/default.aspx?q=Demographics">Demographics</a></div> <div class="shim10"></div> <div class="publication-extras-container toggle-container add-underline"> <div class="publication-extras" style="display: flex; flex-direction: row;"> <div><a href="#frCitation6" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Citation for Pitfalls of Demographic Forecasts of U.S. Elections">Citation</a></div> <div style="min-width:110px;"><a href="https://www-nber-org.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/papers/w33016" class="pub-extra-item black mu" aria-label="Find Pitfalls of Demographic Forecasts of U.S. Elections at Harvard">Find at Harvard</a></div> <div style="min-width:110px;"><a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w33016" class="pub-extra-item black mu" aria-label="Register to read Pitfalls of Demographic Forecasts of U.S. Elections">Register to Read</a></div> <div class="relatedpopout-trigger"><a href="#frRelated6" data-item-url="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66569" class="pub-extra-item toggle-plus toggle-button black mu" role="button" aria-label="Related publications about Pitfalls of Demographic Forecasts of U.S. Elections">Related</a></div> </div> <div id="frCitation6" class="frCitation nu has-slide" style="margin-top: 10px; display:none;">Calvo, Richard, Vincent Pons, and Jesse M.
