Give people housing and they'll have kids!
Obtaining housing increases the average probability of having a child by 3.8% and the number of children by 3.2%.
For 20 to 25-year-olds, the corresponding effects are 32% and 33%.

Fascinating paper by Claudia Goldin on drivers of low fertility in advanced economies.
Countries where economic progress outstrips social progress (in particular, gender equality in household division of labour) see the most rapid falls in fertility..

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.

Direct File is a clear success story of making government better.
The IRS made a free, easy-to-use way to file taxes directly. People who used it loved it.
But wealthy corporate donors are losing money, so Republicans are trying to kill the program and make filing taxes harder.

I used smth similar in a homework this fall. I asked "What's the difference b/w using feature X v.s. Y in model w/ A, B, C?" Correct answer: "None, b/c A & B make distinction b/w X & Y irrelevant."
Chat-GPT got it wrong and, disappointingly, most students too in exactly the same way.
