- Variance function regressions
- Siblings fixed models
- Sociogenomic data for propensity for educational attainment
We show that the effect of luck is socially stratified: it is larger for low SES students with high PGI for education

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

This is the way we put it. With expansion subjects with less cultural capital attain BA and there is a longer queue of BA holders in the labor market. Some become overqualified. So: they have less cultural capital and less interest in transmitting it to their children.

1. The parental advantage associated to children's achievement in PISA declines as parental education expands.
2. Two mechanisms drive this decline:
- parental over-qualification and
- reduced positive selection of parents who attain tertiary education, with expansion.

Un mes de correos entre organizadores, ponente, administración y agencia
Resultado:
– Vuelo Madrid–Milán: 700 €.
– Hotel: tope 65 € (con la clásica cadena de memorias para aprobar “la excepción que es regla”)
Pero para atraer talento es tb indispensable simplificar las gestiones asociadas a la investigación y a la gestión de proyectos. Para empezar:
1. Abolir el requerimiento de usar la agencia de viajes
2. Subir dietas de alojamiento

I’m fine with this personally as it’s the norm here, but it *does* mean I usually need to give “the talk” to more senior students who need to contact researchers outside Norway

We outline methodological and ethical concerns, and warn against risks for social inequality.
