Interesting experiment! That said, couldn’t some of the response have been fraudsters? And couldn’t there be more fraud that didn’t respond not respond at all? I don’t see why we should expect compilers to be a large portion of the population of fraudsters.

Sorry Mike that is *really far* something they’d consider. Lebron is still putting up 24/8/9.

Besides, that wouldn’t work under the cap. Salaries would be extremely far from being matched.

Enrollment increasing doesn’t mean the FAFSA didn’t ramp down on college going, though. So don’t draw conclusions until we can estimate the counterfactual!

Which one? The one who was right about them, or the one who was wrong?

you reduce options for low income renters. That because it’s all linked: wealthier renters can outbid the less wealthy. In the end, it’s not the wealthy who can’t find housing, it’s the poor. But all the renters are in less preferred housing. Everyone is worse off. Consider removing this article!

David, what are you doing here? You’re single-handedly reducing LA area housing supply when people desperately need housing. This literally makes everyone worse off: the renter who loses out on housing he or she would have been willing to pay for, the owner who would make extra money, and worse…

Yes this is one way of interpreting it.

estimate all the covariances.

I guess for you the safest thing to do would be to estimate separate models for each group and compare estimates that way. If you want to test the difference then you can do fully interacted models or, even better, SUR models that combine the groups into two totally separate regressions but also…

No you aren’t violating any assumptions, you are just getting closer to estimating totally separate models by group. Whether it is important depends on the question, IMO. Here is an example where it does

They misheard you. They thought you said “beer effects”.

Me, giving PhD students advice when something in their program or analysis isn’t working.

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk.

They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings.

But that framing would be misleading, particularly in cases where there are no treatment options. Limiting patient and doctor choices to *zero*, cannot, under any state of the world, be autonomy enhancing. Even if there are options already, further limiting choice is a strong negative on autonomy.

Is Harris not still the VP?

The incentives don’t align for this. If Jake dies there will be no rematch and no additional pay day. So rest assured, Jake will live to fight again one day.

If you aren’t wearing the jean jacket tomorrow I’ll be very disappointed, and there will be… consequences.

Thanks by the way!

Totally! They should make it publicly available.

So they are saying 5 years later when the kid is in school same as it would be without the pre-k, then all the earnings come? That’s a high level of return to just working 10 more hours a week 5 years ago. That doesn’t strike you as somewhat hard to believe?

I can’t seem to download the paper to see what the timing is, but why is credit even a need? They are saying families benefit is 5.5 times the cost of providing the care. Shouldn’t it be worth it for families to just pay for childcare, even if private care is more expensive?

Like I said, hard to believe. Why can’t the market provide these services if there is so much to gain and so little downside?

Hard to believe. 11 hours of childcare availability increases earnings by a fifth? What’s stopping the control group from paying for childcare and picking up free money?

Apparently the voters did, as their choices reveal they prefer not being forced to do something they don’t want to do.
