Relational skills—taught during the critical period of adolescence —can set vulnerable young women’s lives on better trajectories 10 years later, from Nava Ashraf, Natalie Bau, Corinne Low, and Xiaoyue Shan www.nber.org/papers/w34339

Does gender diversity in peer groups benefit performance? I ran a 7-year field experiment with 3,000+ students to find out. Key findings: As gender diversity increases – Course grades in short & longer run ⬆️ – Dropout rates ⬇️ – Performance inequality in groups ⬇️ Details below🧵

🚨 New working paper! 🚨 We ran a field experiment with >1,300 university students randomly assigned to online vs in-person lectures. What happens? Online instruction hurts performance, but only for women♀️📉 with Xiaoyue Shan & Uschi Backes-Gellner www.ifo.de/DocDL/cesifo...

@mdrouvelis.bsky.social and I co-edit a special section on experimental replications at European Economic Review. We are eagerly waiting for your replications of lab and online experiments. Please get in touch if you have any questions. #econsky
