Temperature is the new rainfall… except it’s typically used by researchers as a covariate instead of an instrument. But the same criticism applies: just because we can’t choose temperature doesn’t mean it is exogenous.

Yes, love the sentiment, but I hate that things are so over-simplified. Most policies have distributional effects. There are winners and losers. Tariffs generate net losses, but there are still (likely) some winners. Simplifying it like this dismisses those who are potentially helped by tariffs.

If we stop testing, the scores will stop falling. 🙃 And if we gut the NCES, then we also can’t investigate the issue further. Brilliant! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

##EconSky Our seminar speaker for tmr was coming from U Toronto. He was apparently detained (politely) for several hrs by US customs in CA. He was then cleared to travel to the US after his flight had left. Needless to say, no seminar tmr.
