The college wage premium has not fallen recently and the net cost of college has slightly fallen over the past decade+. "College is dying because it's less worth it" isn't really true. What is true is that the number of 18 year olds in the US will fall every year from now on.
As the higher ed value proposition collapses, the initial winners will be schools with a "fun in the sun" consumer experience but in the longer term we'll see a resurgence of interest in something more like a Deep Springs / St John's model serving a shrunken higher ed market.

The truth about Chinese industrial policy is opposite of what anti-China types argue. China is lowering its own living standards on our behalf. The government keeps their own people poorer to subsidize the rest of the world. This isn't something we should emulate!

Interesting article about the data fraud accusations against Dan Ariely, on a set of papers about honesty. Wonder how much Political Science research might be in the same boat 🤔 newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

I’ve seen plenty of reasons/excuses over the past 3 years for why foreign researchers don’t want to go back into China, and some are perfectly reasonable, but “going back to China means you’re anti-Chinese” is… well, absurdly imaginative. (Or maybe just absurd.)

Come read our latest paper with @hcsteinhardt and Lukas Holzschuh! tl;dr - Chinese respondents trust the State with their online privacy much more than private corporations despite living in an autocracy.
New publication with co-authors Lukas Holzschuh and @profandrewm on privacy concerns in China. Although China is known as the proto-typical surveillance state, we show that concerns about state data collection are low, and only modestly politicized. 1/5 firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph…
