Débat à l’invitation de l’@afepop.fr sur la mixité sociale et scolaire avec une table ronde. Là aussi, des échanges riches avec Manon Garrouste, @pierrehuguet.bsky.social, @yousouidi.bsky.social et @najatvb.bsky.social. Une occasion de rappeler que sans mixité, pas d'égalité.

De l'avantage d'être de noble lignage pour intégrer une (très) grande école en France (1891-1995)

Encore un travail incroyable de @stephanebenveniste.com !

Abstract:
This paper investigates the enduring overrepresentation of aristocratic families in
elite higher education. It analyses 269,917 graduates from ten leading French
grandes écoles between 1911 and 2015, using surname-based indicators of
nobility and a linkage to birth records. Despite a decline over time, descendants
of aristocrats remain nine times more likely to gain admission than the rest of the
population, even two centuries after the French Revolution. While historically
most concentrated at Sciences Po Paris, their presence has converged across
institutions, though business schools now exhibit the highest overrepresentation.
The analysis also reveals a gender gap, with noble men benefiting more from this
educational advantage. These findings highlight the persistence of historical
hierarchies beyond the end of legal privileges, as noble families convert symbolic
capital into academic credentials, ensuring continued access to elite status

Energizing keynote by @fabianpfeffer.bsky.social Let’s be 'real utopians', assess alternatives to the status quo, and imagine how to overcome extreme wealth inequality through redistribution. Before dystopian narratives dominate the battle of ideas

Impressive research showing the persistent overrepresentation of high-income groups in U.S. elite colleges over a century 🇺🇸

This echoes my work on French elite colleges (Grandes Écoles), where admission rates for children of alumni first dropped but have then remained ~80x higher for 80 years 🇫🇷

This new NBER WP by Ran Abramitzky, Jennifer Kowalski, Santiago Perez, and Joseph Price (along with more than 60 RAs!!) is remarkable. It’s the best data ever compiled on socioeconomic origins at elite colleges, and includes some genuinely surprising findings that should move our priors. A thread:
