Employer-side wage subsidies aim to boost hiring of disadvantaged workers. New evidence from the largest US program shows that most subsidized hires would have happened anyway, from Manisha Jain, @cmommaerts, and @Jeff_Weaver_ https://t.co/N5dGNJbmiT

My paper on peer effects has been accepted at the JPE @JPolEcon.

I formulate and empirically test a theory of why students influence each other's learning in school: by competing with each other.

I thank the editor, referees, and data editor.

[Brad Shapiro @btshapir]

So many PhD students flame out because they can't come up with interesting research questions.

I can't help but think part of that is b/c they spent a decade only thinking about maximizing chance of PhD admit at the expense of thinking about interesting problems in the world

In honor of teacher appreciation day, I want to highlight the large but often hidden impact that teachers have on students through their informal mentorship

Students who have a teacher as their primary mentor are substantially more likely to go to college

Comments welcome!

[Jorge Rodríguez @RodriguezJP]

Do input-based teacher incentives improve student achievement? Our paper (JOLE) on Chile's Carrera Docente: small average effects, but strong responses where marginal incentives are highest. Welfare gains fall short of costs.

🧵

[Jorge Rodríguez @RodriguezJP]

Using a structural model of teacher behavior, we find that the MVPF of Carrera Docente is below one, though alternative incentive designs can generate meaningful welfare gains.

1/ Trabalho interessante sobre o caso de Portugal para a discussão sobre redução da jornada de trabalho no Brasil https://t.co/IJ5VJa9EoQ Mas uma grande diferença do Brasil é o grande mercado informal, tanto de empresas como trabalhadores. Ajuste possivelmente se dará ali
