Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (yet another very quiet week, it seems):
- Miller et al. (with ungated earlier version here) use a conjoint survey experiment to examine the hiring preferences for lobbyists, finding that organised interests prefer lobbyists with policy-specific expertise and the necessary connections to get access to decision-makers, but they find little evidence that connections are more valuable than expertise
- Li et al. find that an in-sample shift in de-seasoned weather from the coolest to the hottest semester reduces semester-long undergraduate student performance by 1.5 percent in Singapore, using data from 2005 to 2019
