I just landed on a transcontinental flight and am reading this now. First, thanks much for your kind words on our work. Second, there seems to be some confusion. That is exactly the effect that our study is trying to explain.
The parameter you seem to be interested in, the average effect of Preschool on test scores (including 3rd grade) is described in our own figure 1 of this study and in our past paper that we cite in this study (Castillo et al). In sum, we found null effects consistent with the fade-out literature.
This new paper is now exploring the "why"s of fade-out. We test mechanisms hypothesized in the literature and find that the average null effects are masking an important pattern: among our entire sample of students who were part of our partner elementary school district, Preschool students perform substantially better than control students when in an elementary school classroom with many other Preschool classmates. Preschool students are no different from their control peers when in an elementary school classroom with very few Preschool classmates.
@dmckenzie001@Econ_4_Everyone@zaferakin1@billuraksoy I’ve taught from a few super-early versions of 3 or 4 chapters… even in that unpolished state the book was amazing. I can’t wait to get my paws on the final version and the whole book.
Thrilled to announce that my paper on the Asymmetric Effects of Monetary Policy on Firms is now published in the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking! Grateful to the editor, anonymous referees, advisors, and colleagues for their support! https://t.co/prBa2ihDBX #econtwitter
@annabellehutch@sportseconprof Oh it was super weird. There weren’t enough suites to go around either. The day hotel reservations came online for the conference you had to spam click the website hoping to get through. Pretty funny given economists are supposed to be good at solving these kinds of problems!
@annabellehutch@sportseconprof Everyone - academic and non - did all of their interviews at the same time, so there would be nowhere close to enough conference rooms to go around. Since Covid everyone started doing them on Zoom and that model has stuck long term.
