Food for thought! Thanks for this post. I love this intersection that you describe, I hope the profession indeed finds a way to fix this gap soon

this is such interesting and important work; we know so little about the behavior of policymakers and yet we often start our empirical papers with them in mind. I *LOVED* your ECMA paper and now this one is most def on my list. Thanks for sharing Elizabeth!

FYI this needs to be done on computer because drag and drop options on phone make it impossible to continue at some point.

We all know there are plenty of problems with the publication process in econ, but which ones matter most and how to address them? Please share your views with a joint AEA-EEA-ES-RES committee that will try to suggest solutions. Link to member survey: harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... 📉📈

Love this! Thanks for sharing! I don’t teach but I often find myself explaining my job to friends and family, and I found your list perfect. I love the bit about excluding “conclusions” that often alienate people eg about government intervention and markets. Thanks!

Paying researchers to focus on detecting errors is a simple idea that could may a big difference for the ability of science to self-correct. But perhaps more importantly research funding could include dedicated funds to “auditing”, and work contracts should account for time in this sort of service.

Our work with @adegendre.bsky.social , @chriskarbownik.bsky.social and Yves Zenou combines a simple model and awesome data to show how and why disadvantaged minorities in the classroom to affect behaviors of students, parents and teachers, and ultimately test scores. Check it out!

Are teachers *generally* better at teaching students of their own sex?
 
NO in primary education,
YES in secondary education.

In Paris to visit family, and once again I rediscover how unlivable this city is for anybody with a stroller, a wheelchair or simply old. I really wonder Paris will host the Olympics and Paralympics.

I did the math in 2019. The last time Tri-Council scholarships and postdoctoral funding in Canada was adjusted was in 2003. *In 2019*, basic inflation adjustments alone would have added $9,000 to Master's-level scholarships and more than $11,000 to PhD scholarships. Postdocs nearly $15,000.

This is nuts. Am I understanding correctly that the Australasian Research Council wants academics to be part of their board only if they have never received ARC funding or expect *never* to receive ARC funding????

A very interesting read, especially for non-experts like me. Yet more evidence that the climate emergency is real, this time looking at deep ocean currents.

Patrick Artus soutient que la France sous-investi dans la Tech et la R&D, et que c’est l’une des causes principales du recul de la productivité du travail — autrement dit ce n’était pas le moment de faire des coupes budgétaires pour l’enseignement sup et la recherche 👍🏽😅
