ICYMI: Do workers actually learn from collaboration, or just benefit from the help? New paper uses teacher co-teaching to answer this question. Spoiler: genuine skill transfer is real, but partner experience matters a lot. john-fallon-econ.com/Files/LBDT.pdf #ASSA2026 #EconSky

🚨🚨🚨New working paper! 🚨🚨🚨 "Learning by Doing (Together): Collaboration and Teacher Skill Formation" Do workers genuinely learn from collaboration, or just benefit while working together? I study teacher partnerships to find out. Paper: john-fallon-econ.com Presenting at #ASSA2026 #EconSky 1/10

Event study graph showing student test score differences before and after teachers first co-teach. The line shows parallel pre-trends near zero, then jumps to approximately 0.04 standard deviations above zero in years following co-teaching, with confidence intervals shown blue bars.

Here's my thread of this year's new scholars in Economics of Education and Education Policy. These PhD students and postdocs are on the job market, so take a look (and spread the word to others who might benefit from exposure). And now onto the scholars... 👇

Honored to present research on the labor market impacts of business incentives to Alabama's key leaders: Governor Ivey’s COS, Lt. Gov COS, Senate president pro tem, Sec of Commerce, Sec of Workforce, Deputy Commissioner of Revenue, and their teams. Grateful for Alabama's partnership!

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work. Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.

The econ job market seems rough this season, so this is an extra fabulous opportunity work with my friend @gabriellepepin.bsky.social! If the work isn’t enticing enough, let me tell you that when we shared an office, she was the best at bringing in treats to share 🍪

1/ Excited to share my JMP! I study how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—which taxed nonprofit salaries over $1M—reshaped college leadership. Using a natural experiment, I explore how financial incentives impact presidents’ pay, exits, and priorities. 🧵 sites.google.com/view/nicolas...

4/ Pairing isolated students with popular peers can boost social integration but may trigger negative social comparisons, harming self-esteem. Plus, altering deskmate plans reshape entire classroom dynamics; an issue that has prevented peer matching interventions from scaling up.
