Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Sacerdote, Staiger, and Tine (with ungated earlier version here) find that test score–optional policies harm the likelihood of admission for high-achieving applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds, meaning that the availability of test scores on an application can promote rather than hinder social mobility
- Armona et al. (with ungated earlier version here) develop and test a model of what is newsworthy to a media outlet
- Crossin et al. (open access if you set up a free account) find using data from a nationally representative sample that an estimated 71.1 percent of the New Zealand population think politicians should do more to keep people safe from alcohol harm, with majority support across the political spectrum
- Smit (open access) outlines the drawbacks to remote working that may have prevented greater internal migration from cities to the periphery in the Netherlands
