Covid learning loss is real and large. We need a way to scale up personalized learning to help every student get back on track from where they're currently at, and catch up at their own pace. The Pandemic Erased Two Decades of Progress in Math and Reading https://t.co/f5GAbKINJe

Excited about my new Canadian textbook with Kevin Milligan, Betsey Stevenson, and Justin Wolfers. Economics has added so much to its repertoire. It's exciting to be involved in bringing new applied and theoretical ideas to the next generation.

Drop everything and read this paper: https://t.co/OV8DD9aAbb

The bottom line: Managers with MBAs are the best at taking money from workers and not much else.

The findings are damning of business schools, business education, & business "optimizing" practices.

StatsCan has a podcast, how cool is that? Even a cool name (Eh Sayers). First episode is on inflation. https://t.co/jTA1py0Y0v

Really wish someone else was tracking this. Seems important when we're keeping 2 million Ontarians in the 5-19 age group from going to school.

[C.D. Howe Institute @CDHoweInstitute]

The evidence is clear that virtual schooling cannot support student learning in the same way as in-person learning. Canadian governments should take this into account, write @ClareHalloran, @RebeccaSJack, @jcokun1 & @ProfEmilyOster. https://t.co/ftLhfidjC1 #cdnpoli #EconTwitter

I don’t see how the decision to close schools will make the marginal difference around what happens with hospitalizations. Is Ont expecting to slow the rate of infection so that anyone who becomes hospitalized will do so over a longer spread? I don't think this will work.

[Philip Oreopoulos @POreopoulos]

I don’t get the decision by Ontario last week to keep open schools and then close them a few days later – the case-count trajectory situation was predictable – nothing has changed to affect this prediction.

The in-game performance of professional soccer players who had a recent COVID-19 infection, drops by 6%.

Performance is still 5% lower 6 months later with notable negative spillovers on team performance.

Over a year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, student learning loss remains a pressing policy concern, writes @POreopoulos. High-dosage tutoring presents a promising solution: https://t.co/jHRvQbemNj #Education
