A great view of Tübingen with @jakobschwerter.bsky.social Allan Wigfield and @mattbernacki.bsky.social. Always great to visit the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology at @unituebingen.bsky.social.

...Thus, at the moment, I remain skeptical about the benefits of #GenAI in learning, outside of expert-in-the-loop uses (e.g., a teacher using it to craft personalized versions of lesson materials, which the teacher can critically evaluate and refine because of their expertise)... (6/n)

Hello #EconSky! 📢Excited to share my #JMP 📢 It provides a missing piece to understand how people react to income taxation. Tldr: By changing tax pre-payments governments can - with almost no costs - increase perceived work incentives of secondary earners and reduce the gender gap. Thread below👇🧵

To collect income taxes, almost all countries require employers to withhold monthly tax prepayments which are then fully credited against the final income tax liabilities of their employees. Despite being a fundamental component of income taxation systems worldwide, the impact of these withholding taxes on labor supply is poorly understood. We investigate their importance in the context of married couples in Germany where the withholding tax liability can be redistributed between spouses. We exploit a reform that reduced the withholding tax for some married women more than for others, while inducing no differences in income taxes. Using administrative data for the full population of German taxpayers, we estimate an elasticity of labor income with respect to the withholding tax eight years after the reform of 0.14. Additional evidence from a self-conducted survey suggests imperfect understanding of the tax system and limited pooling of resources within the household as the main mechanisms. As the majority of couples shift parts of the withholding tax liability from the husband to the wife, our results suggest that the increased withholding tax liability of married women contributes to their low labor supply. This highlights the need for governments to be aware of the distortion of labor supply incentives when the design of withholding taxes does not match actual income tax incentives.

I am collecting data in university courses over 2-3 cohorts. So good to see that learning behaviour is mostly similar across cohorts with a similar effect on exam performance (stay tuned for specific results). But what a pain to explain differences in taking the first or second exam, etc.

Is this only happening in econometrics or does something similar exist in #education #psychology ? I would be happy to try out something like this.

Hi Learning Scholars! Which publication is currently everyone’s fav to link log-data to SRL behavior? Or that shows which log-data help to measure SRL behavior? Or an overview of which variables generated from clicks reflect SRL behavior? #SRL #Clicks #LearningScholars

Working with multiple imputation and wondering how tree-based methods compare to MICE PMM? Researchers from FAIR (fair.tu-dortmund.de/en/) and the RCTrust (rc-trust.ai) have just published a preprint that sheds light on this! 🌟 #DataScience #Statistics arxiv.org/abs/2401.09602

Evaluating tree-based imputation methods as an alternative to MICE...

Dealing with missing data is an important problem in statistical analysis that is often addressed with imputation procedures. The performance and validity of such methods are of great importance...

not at all meaning this as a dunk, it's truly interesting how different empirical problems and methods can shift between uninterestingly basic in one field to novel and barely-appreciated in another. i saw this so many many many times in researching my book

A december 2021 article in Methods in Psychology called "Omitted Variable Bias: A threat to Estimating Causal Relationships"

We aim to raise awareness of the omitted variable bias (i.e., one special form of endogeneity) and highlight its severity for causal claims. Firstly, we demonstrate via analytic proof that omitting a relevant variable from a model which explains the independent and dependent variable leads to biased estimates. Secondly, we offer an easy-to-understand visualization for the problem. Finally, we discuss two remedies, diminishing the risk of the omitted variable bias, namely the instrument variable or two-stage least squares estimator and the regression discontinuity design. We hope that our review will motivate researchers to use them more often in future research.

This one time on twitter years ago, @robertkelchen.com made me chuckle, BC he said he doesn’t deal with AERA much BC this distance between submission & presentation is so far the paper could just go under review. And I just had a paper accepted by a journal but not AERA and I can’t stop laughing.
