🧵 But since Head Start's inception, there have been disagreements about whether or not the program "works." So let's review what we know from rigorous research on Head Start's effectiveness, and let's start with what it means for the program to work. 🧵 1/n

That’s just an artifact of the latex translation! Should be a hyphen

That’s very kind of you to say!

🙌 🙌 So happy to see this project come to fruition and this paper officially forthcoming at AEJ: Policy -- in part because I care so much about the question and am proud of how we answered it, and in part because I got to work with superstar coauthors Jocelyn Wikle and Riley Wilson, who are the best.

If you would like to know how OMB is supposed to function, follow @bbkogan.bsky.social

Bobby Kogan @bbkogan.bsky.social · 5d

There are four exceptions where you can incur obligations during a shutdown despite having no funding.

One is if the action is necessary to discharge the President’s constitutional duties and powers.

OMB is asserting that conducting mass firings falls under that.

Be fucking for real right now

Asked about the legal concerns, White House Office of Management and Budget communications director Rachel McCauley said in a written statement that "issuing RIFs is an excepted activity to fulfill the President's constitutional authority to supervise and control the Executive Branch, similar to conducting foreign policy."

My theory: the president is a priest and they just don’t want to mess with that.

I was just there two weeks ago! And someone told me the story that it was indeed designed with Princeton in mind...

Should I be proud that my daughter got the only perfect score on her first exam in AP Econ? Well, sure, but this semester is macro. 😐

When the Boston and South Bend gates are next to each other at ATL… great to see @joshua-goodman.com on his way home from Georgia State on my way home from Duke!

The AEA released the committee's report on the 2023 climate survey and it's chock full of depressing stuff, but I couldn't help but notice this pull quote.

Posted here without further commentary. 👀

the deleted comment was from another account -- the post that I was originally responding to as clarification. It turns out I can't control what other accounts do with their posts.

chloe gibbs @chloergibbs.bsky.social · 28d

Yes thanks — all of my research and policy work is in this area. I was just clarifying what Head Start is (and is not).

Head Start is a federal program for preschool-aged children from low-income households and is free everywhere

Question for BBN: I've never been to Duke before. Am I wearing these overalls, or should I just dress as The Wildcat?

investments, what we still need to know, and how this evidence base can and should inform policymaking.
