Wow!
Each $1 spent on Universal Pre-Kindergarten generates between $3-$20 dollars in aggregate earnings.
That's enough to offset the costs of Universal Pre-Kindergarten through higher tax revenues.

You've heard of the many analysts projects, right?
Scholars give the same dataset/question to a bunch of researchers & they still get different answers.
Why is that?
Data cleaning!
This is consistent with Gelman's "garden of forking paths." Small coding decisions often drive results.

Cool new papers in the JHR! In Chile, massive administrative data FTW: 20 years of data show that early skill advantages lead to shifts in parental beliefs + investments + ⬆️ college admissions + enrollment @seba_gallegos @sebagallegos.bsky.social

Ed Leamer has passed away.
Ed was one of my favorite colleagues at UCLA: smart, witty, helpful.
My former colleague Pete Schott who was his student, perfectly captured Ed's quirks on his webpage.
For a recent tribute to Ed see here:
