Our paper on human capital depreciation is finally forthcoming in the American Economic Review (joint work with @mikedinerstein and Constantine Yannelis). We show that human capital depreciates when skills are unused using data from teachers in Greece.
Forthcoming in the AER: "Human Capital Depreciation and Returns to Experience" by Michael Dinerstein, Rigissa Megalokonomou, and Constantine Yannelis.

Our findings have important implications, as teachers shape classroom dynamics and influence the positive externalities between students. Also so happy to share that my maternity leave started with two paper acceptances 🥰. #Economics #Randomization #Experiment #RoleModels.

These effects are more pronounced among teachers with children & in urban areas. However, our administrative data show limited observed differences in educational outcomes between top-performing boys and girls that could justify these teachers’ gendered perceptions.

We find that teachers view top-performing girls as more impactful peer role models than top-performing boys. We find that teachers associate greater learning autonomy & a stronger sense of being an example with top-performing girls compared with boys.

Our paper with @sofoklis_goulas and @PSotirakopoulos has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)!. Using an online survey-based randomized experiment, we ask: do teachers perceive all top-performing students as equally influential role models?

So excited about our new paper!.
Here is a new paper on how do disruptive peers influence academic and career trajectories. We find that classroom peer disruptiveness has significant and persistent negative effects on various academic outcomes both in the short and long term.
