But that DD part is only a small part no? (I only looked for 5 minutes). I think these figures are just logit comparisons across years

When will these people stop spamming my phone? ;) @joshcowenmi.bsky.social

An advertisement for Josh Cowen for office but he’s a professor we all know so I’m just joking with him

Nothing new, but If I was writing this while this *stuff* was happening, I might have thought a little deeper.

Committed to limited government, Friedman said he opposed both "forced segregation" and "forced non-segregation." He preferred
a private system in which "exclusively white schools, exclusively colored schools, and mixed schools" could develop, giving parents a choice.
Friedman said the appropriate activity for those who oppose segregation and racial prejudice is to try to persuade others of their views; if and as they succeed, the mixed schools will grow at the expense of the non-mixed, and a gradual transition will take place."

In much of the South, however, many lawmakers were in lockstep with Byrd, and they took steps to give school segregation the imprint of the law. In Louisiana, state officials made it a crime to operate an integrated school. In North Carolina, an education advisory committee recommended eight separate bills in the summer of 1956. A pamphlet for voters said the proposals were "so that no child in North Carolina will be forced to attend a school with a child of another race." The constitutional amendment would allow for "education expense grants to any child for whom no public school is available, or who is assigned against his parents wishes to a mixed public school, and to provide by a vote of the people for suspending the operation of a school or schools in a community where conditions become intol-erable." Every white voter knew what conditions were intolerable-if this was "freedom of choice" in action, the choices were only for white families. Oddly, the plan was promoted as "an effort to preserve North Carolina's public school system." The referendum passed by an overwhelming margin?
Similarly, legislators in Virginia passed a package of laws in the summer of 1956 that created a three-person student assignment board, stripped funds from schools that desegregated, gave the governor the ability to close schools, and authorized tuition grants for students whose schools were closed. A federal judge ruled Virginias law unconstitutional in 1957, writing that it was directly in the teeth of the language of the Supreme Court." State officials promised to appeal, but the ruling gave other states an idea of what might get struck down.

For students at the threshold, they owe approximately $1600 and 4pp less likely to re-enroll in college the next year. Results are driven by students in the bottom half of the R2T4 income distribution, who experience persistent enrollment declines of roughly 5.5 percentage points /4

/1: So one thing I like about this paper is it is easy to understand and we discussed it the last two years in my intro to regression class. I like the longer brief online that also has histograms (I have not read new paper but it looks similar to brief).

I can never remember that if I want my university to reimburse my checked bag, I have to explain WHY I needed to check a bag.

University policy that states: "Baggage fees allowable if bags are required for official university business; valid business purpose must be noted in expense report comments."

I finally looked at the original "Power Pose" paper and this is the worst opening paragraph I've ever read in an academic article (journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....)

Article about my recent paper with Lesley Turner in Times Higher Education: www.timeshighereducation.com/news/us-univ.... But mostly just curious - do you think stock photo is intended to reflect the story or just totally random?

I don't want to debate AI but this is just on its face an objectively funny statement

Last week, Reuters and The Information reported that some OpenAI leaders may have gotten spooked by a powerful new AI the company was working on called Q*, pronounced "Q star." This new system was apparently seen by some as a significant step towards the company's goal of establishing AGI, and is reportedly capable of solving grade school math problems.

Data help: I am trying to get race/ethnicity data at the block/tract level for the 2010 Census and even though I downloaded the following which says "Hispanic or Latino origin" it has no Hispanic/Latino designation. Anyone familiar with this?
