In Taiwan, disadvantaged minorities lower student effort, parental investments, and teacher engagement in classrooms to which they are randomly assigned, and this lowers student test scores, from @adegendre, Krzysztof Karbownik, Nicolas Salamanca, and Yves Zenou nber.org/papers/w32429

Our work with @AdeGendre, Krzysztof Karbownik and Yves Zenou combines a simple model and awesome data to show how and why disadvantaged minorities in the classroom to affect behaviors of students, parents and teachers, and ultimately test scores. Check it out!

New work with awesome coauthors @AdeGendre, Jan Feld and Ulf Zölitz exploring the generalizability of same-sex teacher effects by combining existing multi-country data and met analysis tools. Check out the thread below!

Very impressive online supplement and not just because the Shiny app actually responds quickly.

Very impressive research by Jan and the team, which they just keep improving (I discussed a version of this paper two years ago and it was an epic then).

Very thought-provoking paper by an amazing team of economists! A must read... (independently of your sex😜)

It's great to see a meta-analysis and multi-country study verify more robustly what @ALeNestour & I observed in our quick Center for Global Development look at whether women teachers are better for girls' education (yes in secondary; no in primary): cgdev.org/blog/are-femal…

really important work!

🌞 Summer's heating up at IZA! 🔥 A huge welcome to our fantastic visiting researchers this month! Special shoutout to Jan Feld who's joining us for the rest of the year! We're excited to have you all! ✨

Job-market candidates: - Download 10 JMPs in your field, read them in ≤5 hours, and rank them from best to worst. Now you know why recruiting committees value readability. - Editing improves paper quality. See RCT: doi.org/10.1016/j.jebo… (More at jdingel.com/teaching/advic…)

I’m very happy to introduce our new WP with Yves Zenou, Bhagya Gunawardena and Sofoklis Goulas, Ph.D.! We study the impact of being randomly assigned to a classroom with a same-gender top-performing student on short- & long-term educational outcomes. #EconTwitter Monash Business School

We had games in Munich earlier this week. 60+ participants reproducing 15 studies (3 econ, 4 poli sci and 8 psych articles)! Some papers did not reproduce, missing data/codes, 2x revealed identity of participants, errors, etc. A couple of thoughts from our chair (AB). 🧵

Better scientific writing causes better evaluations, and is associated with more citations 1. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 2. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are very excited to welcome Jan Feld to our #ResearchSeminar today. He will give a talk on “On the generalizability of sex-differences in risk-attitudes”. The seminar takes place from 14:15 to 15:30 in room S3/4 in the Oeconomicum (building 24.31). janfeld.weebly.com

New research alert! Our study investigates the effectiveness of human-only, AI-assisted, and AI-led teams in assessing the reproducibility of quantitative social science research. We've got some surprising findings!
