Learned today that you need a visa to transit through the US even if you remain in the airport's controlled space for a connecting flight within 3-4 hours. Life is already difficult with visas required for destination countries; this adds another cost. Weak passports = hell! 1/3

#AEA email says the conference will take place in hotels affected by strike, but will people join online & avoid crossing the picket line? If that's the case, then I don't see a point of flying from London to SF & be forced to cross a picket line, only to end up at a conference with no one #econsky

Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc.
In a word: Harvard.
Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard.

Thanks for the summary Rachael!
One big implication of the paper is that the link between research and policy cannot be taken as given, and needs to be rigorously studied -- this is what I do in my current and future work. Read more here: www.michellerao.com/research

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research
