Officially forthcoming at @jlaborecon.bsky.social, our new paper with Melissa Adelman, Francisco Haimovich, and Emmanuel Vazquez on the results from a large experiment with 4,000 schools on how to reduce dropout between primary and secondary schools in Guatemala. Short 🧵below #EconSky

Note that our colleagues in the Business School are also hiring. It’s a fantastic, young department pushing frontier research with strong links to the Econ Department. Great people+ great energy: econjobmarket.org/positions/11... #econsky #econjobmarket

We (Econ at ITAM) are hiring:econjobmarket.org/positions/11841 Pay is competitive with the US (in absolute terms), working language is English, virtually no service work, spend ~80% of your time in research, and you get to live in one of the coolest cities in the world. #econsky

Early Childhood Education is central to India’s NEP and global edu goals. Our(@petterberg.bsky.social @singhabhi.bsky.social) new paper at EJ (@resmedia.bsky.social ky.social, bit.ly/4gOtoVV), shows private ECE outperform public options, explaining 60% of the SES gap. In primary, NO private premium.

The course was a huge success (> 80 people in person+>70 online). Huge thanks to @borusyak.bsky.social for the excellent lectures and to LACEA's IEN for making it possible. @ITAM is always happy to host and help with these events.

Many interventions “work” in small trials but fail at scale Also, EdTech often promises much, but delivers little In a new paper (bit.ly/3JKLgVn) @karthik-econ.bsky.social & I show how personalized adaptive learning (PAL) software can sharply improve learning outcomes at scale🧵1/16

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Some professional news: I'll be starting as a co-editor at the Journal of Development Economics. I'll do my best to be constructive, fair, and fast. Looking forward to reading what you are all up to... as I hope you are looking forward to my future referee requests #EconSky

Ariel Ortiz-Bobea @arielob.bsky.social · 2y ago

Hey #econsky: Does your department offer some type of incentive (e.g. teaching relief) for serving in an editorial role (editor/co-editor) of a top journal (say top field or higher)?

New paper by @njudd.com shows that an additional year of education doesn't causally affect telomere length in old age, despite many (theory) accounts arguing otherwise. It's been desk rejected by 13 journals happy to publish small 'positive' telomere studies. Sigh. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

In the most recent issue of @restatjournal.bsky.social (direct.mit.edu/rest/article...), we (Kaspar Wuthrich and @karthik-econ.bsky.social) provide guidance on how to analyze and design experiments with factorial designs (or cross-cuts). A 🧵 below:

Finally in print @restatjournal.bsky.social 😀!

Portrait of dad, by my 3 years old

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Julia M. Rohrer@dingdingpeng.the100.ci · last yr.

Does anybody have a good visualization to explain how interactions can be confounded, and why interactions require interaction controls? @urisohn.bsky.social maybe? (Asking because I have an idea, but want to check out what exists already before investing the effort)

On the verge of declaring defeat with chatgpt in my asynchronous online dataviz class. Something changed this semester compared to past ones and SO MANY assignments are essentially 100% LLM output.
