Do school meals work?
No: according to a new meta study by Sara Ayllón and Samuel Lad summarizing results from 42 studies.
I discuss that study in slightly more detail here: hanshenriksievertsen.substack.com/p/the-causal...

Agree. I also wonder about the additional role of video games. Lots of exposure time, no subtitles (for small languages?) and emergence at about the same time as cable TV. Take-up is probably lower and more uneven though

Overskriften her viser meget godt problemet med adgangskvotienten som mål for hvor svært det er at komme ind: "Landets højeste snit" er vel strengt taget så Arkitekt i Aarhus, der kun optager gennem kvote 2 (uendelig høj? udefineret?)

New study: The relative wage premium for going to college has halved for low-income Americans since 1960.
What is to blame? Rising selectivity? Tuition hikes? State disinvestment? We decompose changes in the premium since 1900 to find out.

Unge vælger ikke altid deres drømmegymnasium – de vælger taktisk. Men med 2030-reformen bliver det næsten umuligt at gennemskue oddsene.
Ny analyse viser, hvordan det kan ramme unge – og hvad man kunne gøre i stedet.

**New working paper**
How does the under-representation of females in Economics affect the career trajectory of female Ph.D. students?
Sahar Parsa and I look at this in a new working paper by exploring sabbatical leaves taken by female professors at top-50 US Econ departments.

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.
