Super interesting new IZA DP: "The Unintended Consequences of Merit-Based Teacher Selection: Evidence from a Large-Scale Reform in Colombia" by Matias Busso, Sebastián Montaño, Juan S. Muñoz-Morales, Nolan G. Pope #EconSky docs.iza.org/dp17294.pdf

Teacher quality is a key factor in improving student academic achievement. As such, educational policymakers strive to design systems to hire the most effective teachers. This paper examines the effects of a national policy reform in Colombia that established a merit-based teacher-hiring system intended to enhance teacher quality and improve student learning. Implemented in 2005 for all public schools, the policy ties teacher-hiring decisions to candidates' performance on an exam evaluating subject-specific knowledge and teaching aptitude. The implementation of the policy led to many experienced contract teachers being replaced by high exam-performing novice teachers. We find that though the policy sharply increased pre-college test scores of teachers, it also decreased the overall stock of teacher experience and led to sharp decreases in students' exam performance and educational attainment. Using a difference-in-differences strategy to compare the outcomes of students from public and

#econsky 🧵 on mail merge for PhDs on the job market

SJsarahjacobson.bsky.socialSep 29, 2024 3:54pm

I've been looking at cover letters / job packets for a bunch of econ PhD folks going on the job market, esp those interested in liberal arts colleges. Love it! I realize, though, that I believe so strongly in one piece of advice that I want to shout it from this particular rooftop: Use mail merge.

Here's a fun way to encourage students to always look at their data. A few years ago, I wrote a script that converts a black and white png to data and plots it.

Plotted version of png converted to data with regression fit line. It appears there's a positive association between steps and sleep. But the simulated data points spell out "OH NO!"

Png showing "OH NO!" in black letters on white background
