Community college enrollment has been declining since 2009/10. The optimal policy response to this depends on the root of this decline.
I'm thrilled @nber.org today released my working paper with Harvard PhD Joe Winkelmann titled:
"Labor Market Strength and Declining Community College Enrollment"

Anyone wishing to pontificate about changes in the demand for a college education should be forced to stare at this graph for a bit first
We first note that hand-wringing about the decline in US college enrollments has mistakenly linked such declines to the price of four-year colleges.
But the decline is entirely driven by two-year community colleges (and by for-profit colleges). The four-year sector is the dog that didn't bark.

I (vibe)coded a game to teach my Prin of Microeconomics students the difference between one-shot and repeated games and how cooperation in repeated games can work.
Try it and let me know if anything is broken :-)

My JMP provides the first evidence on how teacher labor market shocks affect long-run student outcomes.
I study one of the largest teacher supply shocks in US history, larger even than Covid or the Great Recession.

The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork}
