Research has shown that Uber drivers are 2x more likely to cancel a ride if the passenger’s name is one used predominantly by African Americans. But this new paper shows that type of discrimination can be eliminated fairly easily! Within the standard Uber app, drivers see…
In a working paper published today, @1finaleffort and I review some of the economic evidence on the effects of upzoning in Auckland in 2016. tldr: We find remarkably robust evidence that upzoning led to more housing and lower rents in Auckland. Wow! motu.nz/our-research/u…

It hasn’t taken long for us to go hurling back to the madness of early 2000s, when the UK performed appallingly on Pisa international exams and kids learned far less in schools. It is all very seductive until you read between the lines. Overton Window. This is a disaster.😳
The problem with Froot Loops is not the dyes, it's that they're Froot Loops. A third of the calories in each serving are just sugar!
Growth mindset is only found to be true in papers authored by people with a financial interest in it being true....
Can you improve student outcomes by promoting growth mindsets? Authors with financial conflicts of interest—for example, with growth mindset books or offering corporate trainings—publish studies that say 'YES!' Authors without financial incentives to say 'yes'... they say 'no'.
Exciting day: a conversation with @MrZachG on his new book JUST TELL THEM, out next week. We talk about the research behind a good explanation, why teachers are often taught *not* to explain things to students, and much more. open.substack.com/pub/hollykorbe…
A terrific chart of the age a woman should start to try for their first child in order to reach an intended number of children, by @AnnaRotkirch Starting younger dramatically improves the odds! Every young person needs to know this, since many will fall short of their 👶 goals.

Today in Silicon Continent. Why is US tech racing ahead of Europe? It's all about superstars. A few top firms drive most progress: - SpaceX = 80% of space cargo. - 95% of AI chips made by one firm. - 2 companies made all approved mRNA vaccines. THREAD 1/10

EU policies crush outliers: - Policies for average universities, not elite ones. - Pensions cannot take risk - invest in VC - Bankruptcy punishes failrue harder than US - Push broad skills over breakthrough ideas - Regulate AI to death 4/
Two take-aways from our paper: 1) Clear long-term (to Grade 7) effects of an early grade (Gs 1-3) reading intervention. 2) Initial impacts in foundational skills (fluency) translate to longer-term impacts in higher-order skills (comprehension). #RTIFellow
It's exciting when we see enduring effects of interventions: In this case, four years after an early grade literacy intervention in South Africa, written comprehension skills (which are not easy to boost) are improved. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
I will not be "co-writing" my classroom rules with my students. I have two degrees and a teaching license, and they are eleven. It's okay to say that the adults know better :)
I know no one wants to talk about C*VID but this is incredibly thorough and rigorous. It couldn't be more obvious that "Proximal Origin" was a PR exercise rather than an effort to seek the truth. It did enormous harm to science and it should be retracted. usrtk.org/covid-19-origi…
"College shouldn't be about ROI, we need students to study the humanities to get a well-rounded education and become good citizens." The humanities:
BREAKING: UC Berkeley has announced it is offering a course describing Hamas as a “revolutionary resistance force fighting settler colonialism.” The course also refers to Israelis as occupying, while the Palestinians are indigenous. This is what indoctrination looks like.
The thing that makes this a more appealing policy target than, say, spending increases, is that this is basically free or actually cost-saving, even if nothing happens for students. Even if the individual-level effect is minuscule, it's still an improvement on other dimensions!
In 2011, Wisconsin nuked the ability of teachers unions' to negotiate compensation & opened the door to individual pay This incentivized large numbers of college students to enter teaching -- particularly from selective universities -- and appreciably raised K-12 achievement
The UK should scrap the teacher pay review board in order to boost student outcomes

At thirty my dad was a fireman and could afford a three bed house & two kids. I’m in a high earning couple, but no way near getting a family home. There’s a quiet tragedy of people having far fewer children because they can’t afford the house. thetimes.com/comment/column…
“union members appear negatively selected by teacher value added… teachers’ productivity improved in decertified districts. Together, the results imply that union efforts to insulate workers may adversely affect the quality of public services.” morganfoy.github.io/papers/Foy_JMP…
