This was a very interesting book. Moss-Pech makes a compelling case that the big major payoffs can't be fully explained by skills, since lots of folks don't use major-specific skills in their early career jobs! Institutionalized pathways from major to good jobs are key. Recommended.

Peer review is genuinely not a fraud detection mechanism and shouldn't be taken to be. It's not really a knock against a peer review system for failing to pick up when data is faked. The system is already over worked if we did data forensics at scale as a standard part of review it grinds to a halt.

Seems like a good use case for preprints: "were it not for the fact that this preprint had gained so much attention, this article would have slipped through peer review, only to embarrass the editors of the top econ journal in the world after being published and reported on."

LLM adoption boosts the quantity of scientific papers that researchers write by 25.7-89.3%, with the strongest quantity effects for East Asian scholars and in the social sciences. But the papers are worse. Another quantity-quality tradeoff! yianyin.net/index.html

Wow! Each $1 spent on Universal Pre-Kindergarten generates between $3-$20 dollars in aggregate earnings. That's enough to offset the costs of Universal Pre-Kindergarten through higher tax revenues.

The 1st paper in a sociology journal I read ca. 20 years ago was Delacroix & Nielsen (2001) in Social Forces 👉 doi.org/10.1353/sof.... Today, our paper (with @jaredcrubin.com, Yuan Hsiao and Steve Pfaff) on Erasmus vs Luther was accepted in Social Forces 🎉 🥂 😇

Does anybody have a good visualization to explain how interactions can be confounded, and why interactions require interaction controls? @urisohn.bsky.social maybe? (Asking because I have an idea, but want to check out what exists already before investing the effort)

Definitely an issue I sometimes spot in psych as well! If you want to control for higher-level characteristics, you’ll need a fixed effects model — or a multilevel model with tweaks www.statmodel.com/download/Ham...

Amazed how some scholars still think and argue that a multilevel (or random effects) model 'control for' higher-level characteristics. I often wonder whether multilevel models did more harm than good 👀 #sociology

#sociology, let's say I wrote a paper that formally shows that the 'khb' method can hold the 'rescaling effect' constant in any GLM, not just nonlinear probability models. Any suggestions for where I should send it?
