Turns out a university degree does still make a substantial difference to job prospects, once you account for the conditions when people enter the job market. Nice analysis by the FT.

Plot showing unemployment rates in college grads and people without a degree, showing that when you compare groups based on when they entered the job market, people with a degree have substantially less unemployment rates which display slower increase in 2025.

This project has been great fun to work on. I’d love to hear from people involved in teaching statistics or research methods — your thoughts and feedback would be highly appreciated!

If you’d like to have a look, evaluation copies can be requested here: www.mheducation.co.uk/professional...

A special highlight for me was having an endorsement from Massimiliano Pastore, my stats prof during my studies, appear on the back cover. His support makes this book one of the most rewarding achievements of my career so far
Endorsement from Massimiliano Pastore, Professor of Psychometrics, University of Padua, Italy: “An invaluable resource that bridges the gap between statistical theory and practical application, providing a unified approach to common statistical tests through the lens of linear models.”

What we expected: less exploration after adversity.

What we found: a pattern of differences better explained as heightened reward sensitivity.

Refugee children were more likely to stick with a risky choice after it paid off, even when a steady “safe” option was available.
Study 3: three-door bandit task with a sure 1-coin door (S) vs two risky doors (R). Data and model show alternation between S and R for all children, but only refugees persist with R after a 2-coin win (and switch to S after zero) — evidence of reward-dependent stickiness.
