Why do neighborhoods exhibit different intergenerational mobility patterns? Without proper decomposition, answers can diverge. Cholli et al. propose a model that disentangles family selection from locational effects, while accounting for sampling error. https://t.co/dqtt276F7z

I’ve never seen a dragon fly. As far as I know, dragons are NOT real.

@littmath For Q1, info given is useless because both events happen with the same probability, so there’s no updating we can do.

For Q2, if Bob is telling the truth, Alice is also telling the truth. But if Alice is telling the truth, Bob could be lying. So Bob’s the liar

@NotabilityApp The new interface is horrendous. Please provide people the option to use the old interface. Literally just subscribed for a year a month ago and now I have to live with this inconvenience for a whole year. Might as well just use a different app now.

Key message: choices of statistical models determine which dimensions of mobility and inequality may be revealed by the data and, by implication, which dimensions are hidden.

Once again grateful to @INETeconomics for producing this video.
