First-time voters hold polarized views on migrant issues. How do politicians react to this phenomenon? To find out, we contacted 1,554 candidates before the 2021 German federal election as (non-)migrant first-time voters and vary their stance on dual citizenship. Openaccess!(1/5)

The state of research on AI and education from controlled studies: Growing evidence that, when used as a tutor with instructor guidance, AI seems to have quite significant positive effects. When used alone to get help with homework, it can act as shortcut that hurts learning.
Still early days.

“When examining business cycle trends across European countries, Germany, the region's largest economy, continues to underperform, while Spain stands out as the main driver of steady growth within the euro area.”

Dass der Ordoliberalismus intellektuell von einer fruchtbaren oekonomischen Denkschule zu einer Ideologie (politisch und wissenschaftspolitisch) atrophiert war, das war bereits seit dem Neuesten Methodenstreit 2010 klar. Man findet ihn daher nur noch an Fringe-Unis und FHs.
