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

Update #2, RETRACTED: 15 months after we (w @ollefolke.bsky.social and @johannarickne.bsky.social ) submitted the initial comment to the Journal, we've noticed the paper was ultimately retracted. Retraction note here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Kartel på Himmelbjerget: Ugleboden og Bjerg-kiosken har i mere end 25 år haft forbudt aftale To boder på Himmelbjerget har gennem årtier haft en ulovlig aftale, som nu udløser bøde på 250.000 kroner til den ene.

Uddannelser kan få sig en højere adgangskvotient ved at flytte pladser fra kvote 1 til kvote 2. (Det lyder dog heller ikke nemt at komme ind gennem kvote 2 i Rosas tilfælde)

Hun har søgt uddannelse med landets højeste snit og venter nu spændt 26 personer blev i år indkaldt til samtale på Det Kongelige Akademis beklædningsdesign og tekstil-uddannelse. Rosa Marie Nørregaard Fenger var en af dem. Nu venter hun på svar.

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.

Gymnasievalg i blinde: Svært at søge gymnasium med den nye reform - ROCKWOOL Fonden

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.

💥 JOB (POSTDOC) ALERT 💥

Freshly posted: 4-year postdoc to work on applied market design at the university of Lausanne.

Spread the word!

New research alert! Our study investigates the effectiveness of human-only, AI-assisted, and AI-led teams in assessing the reproducibility of quantitative social science research. We've got some surprising findings!

My personal modest take and feelings about this.

As I am now handling papers at AEJ:Policy again, I want to encourage authors of papers that identify partial equilibrium effects to consider (in a rigorous manner) how they relate to policy effects or general equilibrium effects.

Hi! I am a professor in Economics at @lunduniversity.bsky.social My main research interests are mechanism and market design, and I have designed and redesigned many markets (mainly in the Scandinavian countries). I Please follow me 🙂

**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.

Just going to reiterate -

We are on this bot problem. We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight them in the signup process, we shall fight them in the notifications

Før jul havde jeg en længere snak med @esben.bsky.social om alt fra økonomi som videnskab til den grønne omstilling, hvilket er blevet til to podcastafsnit hos Altinget.dk: En juleudsendelse og et nytårsafsnit. Du finder dem her: www.altinget.dk/podcast/dkpol

Pretty thrilled about how many great researchers who are going to visit @rockwoolfonden.bsky.social next year!

Join us for seminars if in Copenhagen, doors are open!

Kudos to @mikkelmertz.bsky.social for organizing

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.

Reskilling moves injured workers from disability benefits to full-time employment. Reskilling subsidies pay for themselves four times over, and current rates of reskilling are substantially below the social optimum.

Paper now conditionally accepted at AER 🎉

Do women earn less than men because they are less competitive? This awesome paper by @ErnestoReuben, Paola Sapienza, and @zingales shows that once we measure earnings some years after graduation, competitiveness does not explain the gender gap (or predict earnings) 🧵 1/7

I'm thrilled to see this site building a serious community of researchers, writers and policymakers focused on education policy and economics.

Ok guys here's the point.

Diff in Diff is a model based assumption that identifies the ATT (unless you're using random timing of rollouts, but almost noone is).

It is model-based because you make assumptions to identify the OUTCOME MODEL in the *absence* of the treatment.
