The Treatment effects vary with the size of the firm and with regard to regional location. Note that we do not find the East-West Difference - but rahter a city vs hinterland scheme.
Another explanation is tied to cultural proximity. We found in a survey with the treated firms that preceived tenacity of arabs is significanty lower compared to the other groups.
The effects are most prevalent in skilled trades. However, we also report that drop out rate is very high in this sector. So one explanation is for sure liked to statsitical discrimination. Note the high response rate of the municipalities that seek apprentices every year.
The bad: Grades and other skills and competences are not even close to overcome the negative effect of a non-German sounding name. Have a look:
Sending away 50k requests to firms that had previously posted an job vacancy at the Federal Employment Agency over three years using German vs. non-German sounding names, we are able to illustrate a responsivevess ranking in the paper that is avaialbe at SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

we inform a decision model that makes this pattern theoretically understandable and, for the first time, clearly distinguishes between opportunism and persuasion effort in political interactions with voters. (4/5)
3. Persuasion effort: Candidates who disagree with voters write significantly longer answers.
Why are these findings relevant? Because we...(3/5)
🔍 Three key findings: 1. Partisanship: Candidates are more likely to respond when the voter's opinion aligns with their own party line. 2. Opportunism: The expressed stance often adapts to the voter's opinion – sometimes contrary to the expected party line. (2/5)
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)
“One of the easiest pastimes in the world is debunking democracy…a schoolboy can attack democracy much better than he can defend it. And one cannot answer him unless one knows the anti-democratic ‘case’ and is willing to admit the large measure of truth it contains.”

Seeing too many diff-in-diff reviews and and summary articles but not sure where to start? We propose a new way to synthesize this growing literature using a Review in Reviews approach.
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.

And that’s why we need structural reforms, cutting back national holidays as a starter and labor market reforms and deregulation of gov admin ALONGSIDE debt financed stimuli to prevent inflationary pressures during the next four years.
I'm getting the feeling that my current research on difference-in-differences with non-binary treatments has no shot at NSF funding.

I believe the point of the author is the lacking foundation of theory in some papers. We lived through this before during the 1920's when German Economics finally understood that science without theory is simply a glass bead game.
