This week in research #45

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past (fairly quiet) week:

• Angrist et al. (open access) analyse the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of education interventions from over 200 impact evaluations across 52 countries (using learning-adjusted years of schooling (LAYS) as a unified measure across all studies)
• Grant and Üngör develop a theoretical model that shows that rising use of automation in production will cause a rise in the skill premium (increasing wages of high-skilled traditional workers and high-skilled workers with an AI background) and the AI skill premium (wages of high-skilled labour with an AI-based education relative to those with a traditional education background), which will likely increase income inequality
