Elever på skolor som hade viss distansundervisning under covid-19-pandemin klarade de nationella proven i årskurs 9 lika bra som elever på skolor utan distansundervisning. Det visar en ny studie från IFAU.

Werte Politikerinnen, werte Politiker: Warum sind Sie noch auf X? Jetzt wäre ein guter Zeitpunkt für die Politik, die grässliche Plattform X von Milliardär Elon Musk zu verlassen

Werte Politikerinnen, werte Politiker, warum sind Sie noch auf X?

Diese Frage stelle ich in meiner aktuellen Kolumne in @derstandard.at - und erkläre, wie radikal Elon Musk derzeit auftritt und welch problematische Kampagnen auf der Plattform ablaufen (zB zu @dunjahayali.de)

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, held local elections today. Support for AfD up but at 15% well below party's national polling. And lower among the young: 5th place on 11% among under-25s, who also delivered a smaller swing towards the party than did older generations.

It has now been almost 10 years since I approached IDEAS/RePEc to start a new newsletter for new working papers (NEP) related to the economics of gender.

The CitEc project has been extracting references and matching them across documents indexed in RePEc since 2001.

If someone would like to take over as NEP editor for gender, please let me know. It’s a great opportunity to contribute to this public good!

A big thank you to Christian Zimmermann (bsky.app/profile/czim...) and others at RePEc for setting up the NEP system. It has been a tremendous public good for economics research.

Share of papers in IDEAS/Repec in JEL J16 (Gender)

This growth can also be seen in the figure on NEP papers within the JEL J16 code (thanks to Andrei Dubovik: dubovik.eu/blog/repec). It will be exciting to follow all the new research that will appear in the years to come.

Over the last decade(s), the field has grown tremendously. Research on gender differences, how gender influences outcomes and discrimination, and on whether policies can lead to more equal outcomes has exploded, as reflected in the 2023 Nobel Prize awarded to Claudia Goldin.

Statement from Fed Gov Lisa Cook:

“President Trump purported to fire me “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”

I've seen editors of journals say this before but being on the other side can confirm: the easiest zero-cost way to speed up the review process is to quickly turn down requests to review that you can't do.

For the love of god if you haven't deleted your academia dot edu account 10 years ago do it now

Extremely sad to learn that former @eale-office.bsky.social president Bertil Holmlund has passed away. Bertil was the founder of the strong Uppsala labor environment. Working with him was a true learning experience. Kind, funny, smart, and unbelievably efficient. He will be deeply missed.
