So now improductive economies need to pay their top CEOs even more? Funny theory. Piece in FT about CEO pay in the UK and US.

Het gaat mij om het gegeven dat een politicus denkt dat hij een mening hierover moet hebben. En dat was hij toen ook al.

Waarom denkt hij hier een mening over te moeten hebben??? Gaat de politiek bepalen welke methoden aangemoedigd moeten worden?? Jee.

Nu omvolkings-denkers niet alleen ons parlement voorzitten, maar ook minister worden: dit is een racistische (en antisemitische) complottheorie, met wortels in vroeg-negentiende eeuws Amerika. En een ideologie die terroristen als Breivik inspireerde.

Must be large. But I will check thanks. There are other issues with the data that make me more confident with mundlak; we couldn’t get the (ordered!) logit model estimated with all these schools in the data. And the idea of differencing illustrates the problem … (lefthand side)

Thanks. Admin data. School dummies but I don’t use these. I use mundlak approach.

In my case I'm talking school FE. Indeed I do Mundlak instead of FE, mean school x and individual deviation in x from school mean x.

thanks. Yes that 1948 paper I also bumped into, and papers by Fernandez-Val, among which a stata journal paper. So my vague hunch that there was a problem is confirmed. Good I did something else.

Ik heb nog niemand zien opmerken dat Wilders uiteindelijk meer stemmen had dan de exit polls zeiden, bij de TK verkiezingen. Ben benieuwd.

thanks, interesting work. Indeed surprising that the variance is not different. In any case, isn't this an issue of total, within- and between-group variance? -- I know I should read the paper, I have at least saved it! :-). Reminds me of doi.org/10.1177/0049...
(totally different topic I know).

Should you use Likert or VAS for EMA research?

In a new paper led by @jmbh.bsky.social & Alberto Jover, we assigned n~160 in a 2 week study to either
📏1-7 Likert or
🎚️1-100 Visual Analogue Scale
and compared results using Bayesian multilevel models.

Brief thread with results.🧵
