My work about the effects of competitive high school admissions in Romania by @cremieuxrecueil has been featured in @palladiummag. It is an interesting and well-written piece, give it a read below. 👇
Students in Romania are sharply sorted with meritocratic tests throughout adolescence. The result is a nation punching above its weight intellectually, but not necessarily capturing the benefits of its educational system. Read the new article by @cremieuxrecueil (link below):

@cremieuxrecueil @AlexPalcuie @palladiummag Romania doesn’t ‘excel’ because the school system is good. It excels because it pushes university level math (& not just math) at 14 and leaves the rest behind (a disaster at the average level). Yes, there are olympiad medals across fields, they come from picking a few kids and

I heard a lot about sensorship and self-sensorship among academics. But, until this year, I have never seen it in reality among the economists. Academic economists, at least those that I know, felt comfortable experessing publicly their opinions on economic policy.

What explains this persistence? We identify three key mechanisms driving intergenerational transmission of schooling gains: 📌1) Mothers sorting into higher-education, higher-earning occupations (especially teaching). 👩🏫💼

Within families, CS exposure had the largest impact on the eldest and least-educated children. 👨👩👦 This suggests that intra-household dynamics played an important role in distributing educational advantages. 🏡

How persistent are these effects? 🔁 CS laws during this period were aimed at a relatively small proportion of early dropouts. We find a 1 to 1 mapping between parents' and children's schooling gains, hinting at very strong intergenerational persistence of human capital. 📈➡️📈

This holds even after controlling for children's CS exposure. However, these effects were highly unequal across racial groups. We find no intergenerational impact for Black Americans, suggesting systemic barriers limited the transmission of educational benefits. ❗📢⚖️

Children of parents exposed to CS laws experienced gains in years of schooling comparable to their parents. 📈➡️📈 In other words, educational improvements didn’t just affect the first generation—they trickled down to their kids as well (see image)!
