Agree. I also wonder about the additional role of video games. Lots of exposure time, no subtitles (for small languages?) and emergence at about the same time as cable TV. Take-up is probably lower and more uneven though

Update #2, RETRACTED: 15 months after we (w @ollefolke.bsky.social and @johannarickne.bsky.social ) submitted the initial comment to the Journal, we've noticed the paper was ultimately retracted. Retraction note here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Vidunderlig case for undervisere i mikroøkonomi: En bouillonterning af karteldannelse, spilteori og policy #dkøko

Kartel på Himmelbjerget: Ugleboden og Bjerg-kiosken har i mere end 25 år haft forbudt aftale

To boder på Himmelbjerget har gennem årtier haft en ulovlig aftale, som nu udløser bøde på 250.000 kroner til den ene.

Uddannelser kan få sig en højere adgangskvotient ved at flytte pladser fra kvote 1 til kvote 2. (Det lyder dog heller ikke nemt at komme ind gennem kvote 2 i Rosas tilfælde)

Mikkel Gandil @gandil.bsky.social · May 20

Overskriften her viser meget godt problemet med adgangskvotienten som mål for hvor svært det er at komme ind: "Landets højeste snit" er vel strengt taget så Arkitekt i Aarhus, der kun optager gennem kvote 2 (uendelig høj? udefineret?)

Hun har søgt uddannelse med landets højeste snit og venter nu spændt

26 personer blev i år indkaldt til samtale på Det Kongelige Akademis beklædningsdesign og tekstil-uddannelse. Rosa Marie Nørregaard Fenger var en af dem. Nu venter hun på svar.

New study: The relative wage premium for going to college has halved for low-income Americans since 1960.

What is to blame? Rising selectivity? Tuition hikes? State disinvestment? We decompose changes in the premium since 1900 to find out.

Unge vælger ikke altid deres drømmegymnasium – de vælger taktisk. Men med 2030-reformen bliver det næsten umuligt at gennemskue oddsene.
Ny analyse viser, hvordan det kan ramme unge – og hvad man kunne gøre i stedet.

My personal modest take and feelings about this.

Ben Golub @bengolub.bsky.social · Jan 15

The discussion ending at this tweet is very smart on both sides ( @lugaricano.bsky.social and @shengwuli.bsky.social ), reasonably spicy, and fun to read.

Luis Garicano @lugaricano.bsky.social · Jan 14

I don't think the argument for the price system rests on full information. I think it rests on Hayek 1945, hence precisely on dispersed local knowledge --i said that before. But let's leave it here. I think we clarified quite a bit, and I hope some of our readers (if there are any!) learned a bit.

As I am now handling papers at AEJ:Policy again, I want to encourage authors of papers that identify partial equilibrium effects to consider (in a rigorous manner) how they relate to policy effects or general equilibrium effects.

How does the under-representation of females in Economics affect the career trajectory of female Ph.D. students?
