Labor and public economist | Faculty Research Fellow at NBER @nberpubs

A new @nberpubs working paper from @ericchyn and his co-authors examines whether "gifted" education programs improve college-entry rates for disadvantaged male students.
Gifted education boosts college entry of disadvantaged, high-IQ boys and closes gaps with female counterparts. The gains are mediated by improvements in non-cognitive outcomes, from David Card, @EricChyn, and Laura Giuliano nber.org/papers/w33282

Replying to @EricChyn
@EricChyn and I have a new review of recent evidence on how neighborhood environments impact child and adult outcomes contrasting exposure (developmental) effects and contemporaneous (contextual) impacts
Exposure to more-advantaged neighborhoods in childhood improves long-run outcomes, while neighborhood quality during adulthood matters for health and well-being, from @EricChyn and @lkatz42 nber.org/papers/w28953
