Tommy makes excellent points about school choice on the old-old site.
Fairness and legality rely on transparency and automation.
However, my experience is that policy-makers dislike algorithmic allocation out of a misplaced fear of AI and mistaken beliefs that admin discretion improves fairness.

Really nice thread about Zotero. I've been using for years and didn't know about some of the addons here. Hope they'll still work after the impending (??) update to Zotero 7. Maybe also useful to #EconSky
So what are the alternatives for Mendeley? I've switched to Zotero for now and in many ways I already love it (see thread below). There are 2 caveats one has to keep in mind imo.

I have a new working paper w/Ivan Badinski, Amy Finkelstein, & Matt Gentzkow!
We use a "movers" design to study the role of physician practice intensity for widely-documented geographic variation in healthcare spending
The punchline? Doctor sorting matters a lot!

In the same issue of EJ, both RD designs.
#1: better middle schools negatively affect GPA, graduation, academic vs vocational programs, and aspirations for marginal students.
#2: better high schools positively affect human capital accumulation and mental health for marginal students.
