How do #earning differences between organizations affect the provision of employer-led #training? Christian Pfeifer
@leuphana.bsky.social shows that firms with larger intra-firm #wage compression are more likely to cover all direct and indirect training #costs.

Great paper by @brianjabarian.bsky.social and @luca-henkel.bsky.social on automated job interviews.

Is AI better at recruiting?

Based on 70.000+ real job interviews:
- 12% more job offers;
- 18% more hires;
- 17% higher retention...

- and 78% of applicants choose AI if given the choice.

If your organization is in a field that derives value from research & analysis of ambiguous data (law, consulting, many aspects of finance), you need to be benchmarking Deep Research & future AI agents

They may or may not be good enough today, but you need to map the trajectory as advances continue

1/ 🤔 Ever wondered if pairing socially isolated students with popular peers helps or hurts their outcomes?

My job market paper explores this through a large-scale RCT across Indian schools.

Hi, #EconSky! I’m Anderson, a 6th year PhD candidate at the University of Virginia. For those going to ASSA this week, I’ll be presenting my job market paper, The Effects of Privacy Regulation on the Supply of Stolen Data, during the CSMGEP session tomorrow at 8AM. Here’s a short thread about it

I wonder if there was any mirror trend of male role models in media becoming more open minded

Lant Pritchett has a fantastic new paper on whether aid has helped.

He notes that there has been a massive reduction in infant mortality,

More than would be expected from growth alone.

One possible explanation is aid

Now being cut.

Americans overwhelmingly endorse gender equality.

The feminist revolution succeeded!

Partly because women's magazines and mainstream television made new ideas appealing and relatable for ordinary women

I love this paper!! 👇

Did East Asia's imperial examinations help or hinder innovation?

Yasheng Huang suggests they instilled rote learning.

But Chenxi Tang's JMP shows that Chinese regions that produced more top scholars (jinshi) in exams 1371-1905 are now more today - 92% more patents!

Did the market for kidneys get thicker

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research

New Quarto template: "quarto-academic-typst"

Following up on early investments? Let me tell you about one of my papers on exactly this: We study a large government trial in the 1960s with preventive toddler care. Copenhagen assigned 10% of toddlers to universal nurse home visits not only in the first year (default) but also in year 2 and 3.

The G.I. Bill, Standardized Testing, and Socioeconomic Origins of the U.S. Educational Elite Over a Century Ran Abramitzky, Jennifer K. Kowalski, Santiago Pérez, and Joseph Price NBER Working Paper No. 33164 November 2024 JEL No. 123, 124, N32 ABSTRACT We compile, transcribe, and standardize historical records for 2.5 million students at 65 elite (private and public) U.S. colleges. By combining these data with more recent survey and administrative data, we assemble the largest dataset on the socioeconomic backgrounds of students at American colleges spanning the last 100 years. We document the following: First, despite a large increase in the share of lower-income students in the overall college-going population, the representation of these students at elite private or public colleges has remained at similarly low levels throughout the last century. Second, the representation of upper-income students at elite colleges decreased after World War II, but this group has regained its high representation since the 1980s. Third, while there has been no increase in the economic diversity of elite private and public colleges, these colleges have become more racially and geographically diverse. Fourth, two major policy changes in the history of American higher education, namely the G.I. Bill after World War II and the introduction of standardized tests for admissions, had little success in increasing the representation of lower- and middle-income students at elite colleges.

Holy crap this is an astounding piece of historical research
