Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Altindag, Cole, and Filiz (with ungated earlier version here) find that students' academic performance is better when their race matches their teachers, but that this is only true for students who are younger than their teacher, and not for students who are a similar age or older than their teacher (role models clearly matter)
- Calamunci and Lonsky (open access) find that, between 1960 and 1993, an Interstate highway opening in a county led to an 8% rise in total index crime, driven by property crime (burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft)
- Achard et al. (open access) find that individuals living close to newly installed refugee facilities in the Netherlands developed a more positive attitude towards ethnic minorities and became less supportive of anti-immigration parties compared to individuals living farther away
