Podcasts about Alan Krueger

Welcome to The Mixtape with Scott, a podcast dedicated to exploring the personal stories of living economists. I'm your host, Scott Cunningham, Professor of Economics at Baylor University.Today, I'm delighted to introduce Jessica Brown, Assistant Professor of Economics at the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina. Jessica is also a Research Fellow at IZA and a Faculty Affiliate at the Wilson-Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities.I invited Jessica onto the podcast because of her deep connections to the credibility revolution, causal inference, and the esteemed tradition of labor economics nurtured at Princeton University's Industrial Relations Section, where she completed her PhD in 2019.Jessica is also joining us as part of a special series I've been hosting, loosely titled "The Students Of..." Within this series, she specifically contributes to our "Students of Alan Krueger" mini-series. Alan Krueger, a pioneering economist whose work profoundly shaped labor economics, tragically passed away in 2019. Jessica was one of Alan's last doctoral students, and his death came shortly before her dissertation defense.In our conversation today, we'll explore Jessica's journey as an economist, her experiences studying under Alan Krueger, and the influence he had on her professional and personal development.Jessica, thank you so much for joining us.Scott's Mixtape Substack is a reader-supported publication.

This week, I'm thrilled to have Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach as my guest. Diane is the Margaret Walker Alexander Professor in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University and a leading voice in the economics of poverty, education, and public policy. Her research focuses on how major programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and early childhood education impact children's long-term outcomes. Diane has published in top-tier journals, testified before Congress, and served in key leadership roles, including as director of the Hamilton Project at Brookings and as director of Northwestern's Institute for Policy Research.Diane is also part of my ongoing series exploring economists with connections to Princeton's Industrial Relations Section. As a former student of the late Alan Krueger, Diane brings a unique perspective to the show, and it was a privilege to hear about her journey—from her work at the Council of Economic Advisers to her impactful research and academic career.Thank you, Diane, for joining me, and thank you for listening! I hope you enjoy the conversation.Scott's Mixtape Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the Mixtape with Scott! This is a podcast about the personal stories of living economists and an oral history of the last 50 years, give or take. And today's guest is part of a larger series about the students of the key founders of the credibility revolution. Today's guest was Alan Krueger's student at Princeton and her name is Marie Connolly, a labor economist and professor at Université du Québec à Montréal.Marie Connolly earned her Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University in 2007, where she worked under the mentorship of Alan B. Krueger. I first corresponded with Marie right after she published an article estimating intertemporal labor supply elasticities in Journal of Labor Economics in 2008. I was working on a similar paper as hers, in that I was using quasi-experimental changes in weather to estimate labor supply in sex work, but hers was interesting because she framed the project in relation to macroeconomic models that required much larger elasticities than what she and others found using quasi-experimental methods. Connolly's work was emblematic of the “credibility revolution” in economics in that sense and not just through academic lineage at Princeton, Krueger and the Industrial Relations Section. Throughout her career, Connolly has explored two fascinating domains: the economics of music and the intersection of family dynamics and labor markets. Her work on “Rockonomics,” often coauthored with Krueger, investigates the economics of popular music, delving into topics like concert pricing and the secondary ticket market. Equally compelling is her focus on family-related issues, such as child penalties and intergenerational income mobility. Her recent research on child penalties in Canada and the cognitive and non-cognitive effects of class size has echoes of her former advisor's own work on class size. Connolly's dual focus on music and family economics demonstrates her versatility and intellectual curiosity, making her a unique voice in labor economics.Thank you again for your support of the podcast!

Welcome to this week's episode of "The Mixtape with Scott”! This podcast is dedicated to capturing the personal stories of living economists and creating an oral history of the profession through these narratives. This week, I'm excited to welcome David Autor, an esteemed labor economist from MIT, where he serves as the Daniel (1972) and Gail Rubinfeld Professor, as well as the Margaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow. He was also last year's VP of the AEA, is on the Foreign Affairs board of the US State Department, and is a Digital Fellow at Stanford Digital Economy Lab. The number of accolades is too numerous to list, though, so I will just say that David's pioneering work in labor economics, particularly on the impact of trade, technological change, and the computerization of work, has significantly shaped and re-shaped our understanding of these critical areas.David Autor is perhaps best known for his influential research on the economic impacts of globalization and technological advancements. His groundbreaking study with David Dorn and Gordon Hanson on the effects of Chinese trade on U.S. labor markets highlighted the deep and often painful economic adjustments faced by local labor markets exposed to import competition. Additionally, his work on the computerization of labor, including studies on skill-biased technological change, has provided crucial insights into how technological advancements reshape the labor market and wage structures.One of the things you'll learn in the interview, just as a teaser, is that David was mentored by Lawrence Katz and Alan Krueger, and that mentorship had a lasting effect. Not only did it changed his own human capital and trajectory, it seems also that it changed David's own attitudes about mentorship. And although we couldn't delve into artificial intelligence in our conversation, Autor's extensive research on the computerization of labor probably positions him as one of a handful of working economists at the moment whose voice will be kay in understanding the future intersections of AI and labor economics, and probably more than that. So with that I'll stop, but thanks again to everyone for all your support. If you like the podcast, please share it!Scott's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Three people were awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in economics: Josh Angrist, Guido Imbens and David (“Dave”) Card. I have interviewed the first two, and today I have the pleasure of posting the last interview with Dr. Card himself. To most economists, Dr. Card needs no introduction and to be honest I'm really not even sure what to say. I will just say that one time I was having dinner with a well known labor economist who had been on the market the same year as Card, and this economist over dinner without any hint of exaggeration said simply that Card was the greatest labor economist of his generation, bar none. Other than that, I will just say some of the things about his work that has meant a lot to me. Card is “real economist”. Even more than that, he is “real labor economist”, which is the highest praise I know to give people. His knowledge of labor economic theory is deep and expansive. It rolls off his tongue effortlessly. You poke him, he bleeds income elasticities and a myriad of models that he holds to with a light grip. But he was one of the booster rockets on the “credibility revolution”, too, that launched the social sciences into a new level of empirical work. When he began working, labor was in the throes of a fairly deep empirical crisis, and we discussed that in this interview. I learned many things I didn't know, and he also corrected things I took for granted to be fact, like how I interpreted Bob Lalonde's job market paper and what it meant. Many of his studies seemed to be lightning rods on multiple levels — both because they were unexpected null results of prevailing neoclassical wisdom, but also because the studies forced the profession to have deeper conversations about epistemology. What is a model? What is evidence? What does it mean to believe something? When are beliefs justified? What makes them warranted? These were not topics that I think Dr. Card himself seemed particularly interested in, but it's very hard not to see in the anger that surrounded him and those studies people in the throes of being unable, unwilling or incapable of changing their mind even a small bit.This is in fact the story of the practical empirical work of data workers, though — marshaling convincing evidence, going up against a strong scientific blockade, and successful persuasion looking one way at the time that looks very different later. We saw a complete rejection of the facts with Semmelweis's hand washing hypothesis, and John Snow's germ theory, for instance. Both men published work that looking back is so obviously correct but at the time seemed to not move the needle on policymaker and scientist's opinion. I'm not saying that Dr. Card had that experience with his classic works on the minimum wage or immigration — he did after all win the John Bates Clark award and the Nobel Prize. But listening to his story about what he and his colleague and coauthor Alan Krueger experienced at the time when it was published, I can only say that I think sometimes we forget how intense these academic fights can be. We talk a little at different times about this speech he did in 2012 at Michigan about “design vs model based identification”, also, and if you want to read that, it's here.I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed being a part of it. It's around 90 minutes long, but it felt like 30 minutes. At the 60 min mark, I told him well I guess we need to stop and he graciously gave me another half hour. He also makes an announcement in the interview that I think wasn't public knowledge, making me feel a little like Matt Drudge with breaking news. But no spoilers — you'll have to listen for yourself. Thank you again for tuning in. If you like these interviews, please share them! And if you really like them, consider supporting them with a subscription. But no worries if you don't want to.

Larry Katz is an economics professor at Harvard University, and an expert on all things about the labor market. Larry was the chief economist of the US Department of Labor in 1993-1994. He is an editor at the Quarterly Journal of Economics, one of the top academic journals in the field of economics. You can follow him on Twitter @lkatz42. Larry has some recent work (https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/lkatz/files/krhs_sectoral_jole_final.pdf) about the ways in which job training can help less educated workers get better jobs, and we will be discussing the results today. This article is co-authored with Jonathan Roth, Richard Hendra, and Kelsey Schaberg, and is forthcoming in the Journal of Labor Economics, in a special issue in honor of Alan Krueger.This episode was produced by Penn's School of Social Policy & Practice MSSP students: Ding Wu, Jiayin Yuan, Xuli Fan, Yi Yang.

Episode 7 of Mixtape: the Podcast. I interview Josh Angrist, winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in economics, Ford professor of economics at MIT, and director of the MIT Blueprint Labs. In this interview, we discuss a range of topics such as being bored and aimless as a young man, his time in the Israeli army as a paratrooper, his time at the 1980s Princeton Industrial Labor Relations group, his collaborations with fellow Nobel laureate Guido Imbens and the late Alan Krueger, as well as the econometric contributions he made to our understanding of causal inference and instrumental variables for which the Nobel Committee awarded him the prize. A pioneer in many ways who through his scholarship, mentoring, and proselytizing of causal inference and applied methodology, Josh Angrist is arguably one of the most important figures in empirical microeconomics of the last 50 years and a delightful person to interview.

Lapsikin tietää, että minimipalkka syö pienituloisten työmahdollisuuksia. Mutta talouden nobelisti on eri mieltä: David Card ja Alan Krueger järisyttivät aikanaan taloustiedettä väittämällä, että korkeampi minimi voi luoda uusia työpaikkoja. Menikö Nobel oikeaan osoitteeseen vai onko kyseessä ekonomistien three card trick, ovela silmänkääntötemppu?

Key Insights:Paul Feyerabend was right—science is whatever scientists do: anything goes. But what healthy sciences that survive and flourish and good scientists do is put first and foremost discovering what actually is and making theories to understand reality. So Kuhn and Popper are also right.Economics has not been much of a science. But this Card, Angrist, Imbens—and Krueger—Nobel Prize marks a very big possible improvement in this respect.Keep at it! Keep doing your work no matter the brickbats, and you may, someday, look back and recognize that you have changed the world.Pets are good: they drive you to “become the person your dog thinks you already are”.Hexapodia!References:The London Economist has an excellent interview with two of our three Nobel Prize winners this year—David Card and Josh Angrist.

I wouldn’t have been surprised had they won the prize in later years. But Card was clearly overdue. Perhaps the reason it took this long was that Card’s conclusions in his famous minimum wage paper were so hard for many in the field to swallow.… At the time, Card and Krueger’s finding seemed revolutionary and heretical.

When labor economist David Card began studying the minimum wage in the 1990's, conventional wisdom, and economic theory, held that an increase in the minimum wage would lead to job loss. But in a move that revolutionized the way economics could be done, Card and his colleague, Alan Krueger, compared the real world data from a state that raised the minimum wage to one that didn't, and found that the increase didn't kill jobs. This “natural experiment” allowed Card to study the effects of policy changes or chance events in a way similar to clinical trials in medicine. Another natural experiment found that an influx of immigrants did not lower the wages of low-skilled native born workers. Forum talks with Berkeley professor David Card about his work, the “credibility revolution” in economics that it spawned and winning, with Stanford professor Guido Imbens and Joshua Angrist from MIT, the Nobel Prize in economics.

Vuelta al cole y para no llegar a quemarnos rápidamente, te traemos una estrategia sencilla para ser más feliz y productivo en el trabajo. Porque aunque nadie pueda dar más tiempo al día para llegar a todo, si que podemos gestionar nuestra energía. ¿Nunca te preguntaste por qué aquella tarea no te costó nada completarla a las 14:00 en lugar de a las 10:00? El siguiente estudio realizado por Janeta Nikolovski de Johnson & Johnson y Jack Groppel de la Universidad de Judson, te explica el motivo: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280683168_The_power_of_an_energy_microburst Básicamente, el estudio anterior encontró que las personas tienen más probabilidades de reportar niveles altos de energía a las 8 de la mañana, cuando la primera taza de café entra en acción, más tarde los niveles bajan constantemente hasta llegar a la tarde. Ese mismo estudio, por otro lado, encontró que una sola sesión de 5 minutos subiendo escaleras, elevaba los niveles de energía durante más de una hora y ya sabes: más energía, mejor trabajo. Por lo tanto, los descansos nos hacen productivo, si se hacen bien. Por ello tenemos que programarlos bien para que tu cabeza cansada no vaya a la ligera y en lugar de tomar descansos refrescantes, decida hacer scroll infinitamente por Twitter durante una hora sin saber lo que hace. Para darte los tips finales de este programa vamos a tirar de otro estudio de nuestro querido psicólogo israelí Daniel Kahneman junto al economista Alan Krueger: https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdf/10.1257/089533006776526030 Este estudio midió los niveles de felicidad de las personas a lo largo del día y durante diferentes actividades, encontrando que más allá de los obvios (comer y follar), las personas eran más felices cuando se ejercitaban, socializaban y participaban en actividades espirituales. Por lo tanto si metemos estos 2 estudios anteriores en una coctelera tenemos los siguientes 3 descansos y su correspondiente programación Los 3 descansos son físicos, sociales y espirituales. El primero, el físico. Esto puede ser desde salir a dar una paseo, sacar al perro, correr, hacer ejercicio, saltar a la comba, pillar tu kettlebell (o pesa rusa) o subir y bajar escaleras. El segundo se trata de lo social, pudiendo ir desde tomar un café con un colega (o por Skype si estás teletrabajando), almorzar con tu pareja o llamar a un amigo/familiar con el que quieras ponerte al día. Por último lo espiritual y quizás el más complejo de trabajar, ojo, me refiero a cualquier cosa que afecte al espíritu o alma humana, no tiene que ser rezar. Pero también puede ser rezar, meditar, leer textos o libros espirituales, escuchar música, mirar algo bonito o hacer cualquier cosa que te conecte con algo más grande que tú. Ahora elige actividades de cada categoría y ajústalo, observa tu time blocking y cuádralo. Desenlace | Tips finales o enseñanza ¿Cómo programar tus descansos? Aquí te dejo el ejemplo de cómo lo cuadra Nacho: Normalmente los Lunes, Miércoles y Jueves tengo videollamadas de café y brainstorming con compañeros y amigos a eso de las 10:30, no se habla de la tarea del día, simplemente actualizarse y dejar volar la cabeza, algo que Darío y yo solemos hacer mucho. A mediodía suelo leer un libro inspirador (no lo hago por la noche porque me activa demasiado) Y llegando la tarde añado algo de ejercicio que puede ir desde una pequeña caminata para despejar la cabeza, flexiones o salir a correr en invierno. Otras actividades que pueden conectarte con la parte espiritual pueden ser escuchar REALMENTE música por la mañana, sobre todo de esa que pone las pilas y motivan que flipas o sumergirte en el entorno natural más cercano a casa (incluso tu patio puede valer). Lo importante de todo esto es que los descansos sean breves y alternados. Un último estudio demostró que la duración de los descansos de 1, 5 y 9 minutos sumado a los 3 tipos de descansos anteriores, hacen que las personas se sientan mejor. Incluso el de 1 minuto supone una mejora notable, cualquiera puede encontrar 60 segundos al día, porque aunque no te lo creas de media solemos pasar 2 horas al día en redes sociales, por ello corta un poco Instagram y mete más breaks. Que sí, que leer nuestras publicaciones en Twitter son descansos, pero los elegidos conscientemente funcionan mucho mejor. ¿Quieres participar en directo con nosotros?

The music industry is a leading indicator of today's economy; it is among the first to be disrupted by the latest wave of technology, and examining the ins and outs of how musicians create and sell new songs and plan concert tours offers valuable lessons for what is in store for businesses and employees in other industries that are struggling to adapt. Drawing on interviews with leading band members, music executives, managers, promoters, and using the latest data on revenues, royalties, streaming tour dates, and merchandise sales, Rockonomics takes readers backstage to show how the music industry really works--who makes money and how much, and how the economics of the music industry has undergone a radical transformation during recent decades. Before digitalization and the ability to stream music over the Internet, rock stars made much of their income from record sales. Today, income from selling songs has plummeted, even for superstars like James Taylor and Taylor Swift. The real money nowadays is derived from concert sales. In 2017, for example, Billy Joel earned $27.4 million from his live performances, and less than $2 million from record sales and streaming. Even Paul McCartney, who has written and recorded more number one songs than anyone in music history, today, earns 80 percent of his income from live concerts. Krueger tackles commonly asked questions: How does a song become popular? And how does a new artist break out in today's winner-take-all economy? How can musicians and everyday workers earn a living in the digital economy? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

You may have noticed that the trickle-downers are out in full force again spouting bad ideas in response to the Raise the Wage Act, which will raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hour. To set the record straight, we’re reposting one of our first-ever episodes, from early 2019, that reveals what the research proves (no, raising the minimum wage doesn’t affect employment), and asks why changing public perception around the minimum wage has been so difficult.    Eric Garcetti is the Mayor of LA, where he signed a $15 minimum wage ordinance into law in 2015.  The late Alan Krueger was a leading labor economist best known for his work on the effects of the minimum wage.  Show us some love by leaving a rating or a review!

"Tecnología Artística" Podcast semanales por 102.3FM "Radio Más que música", Youtube, Fbk+Ins @fedegaumet y mi web https://www.tecnologiaartistica.com . El destacado economista Alan Krueger analiza la industria de la música en su libro "Rockonomics" como un indicador destacado que tiene mucho que mostrarle a la economía actual. Con una detallada reunión de datos económicos durante las últimas dos décadas nos muestra una realidad de la industria musical que lejos está de hacer "tops" de "talentos" sino de analizar quienes son los verdaderos ganadores y perdedores monetarios. Expone los números que arrojan las nuevas tecnologías de la distribución, como el streaming y lo compara con los escenarios físicos para revelar las ganancias de cada formato. Ese espacio del arte en donde el talento, el virtuosismo, la poesía y el romanticismo creativo parecía la única moneda de cambio es atravesado por un análisis objetivo y tan realista que desnuda más que el backstage de la industria musical y deja ver su verdadero esqueleto. Lleva al extremo el análisis del valor real de la música planteando desde la "paradoja del valor" (Economía Clásica) hasta "la teoría económica David Bowie". El necesario baño de realidad también permite la proyección a futuro de una parte de la industria que son aquellos artistas que no pertenecen al circuito oficial sino que son independientes y que administran su economía y su arte con otro tipo de cultura. ¿Esta cultura del artista independiente será más equitativa en su distribución que la "oficial"? . #artetecnologico #tecnologiaartistica #podcast #radioonline #fedegaumet #ia #inteligenciaartificial #industriamusical #podcasts #cd #cassettes #economiaclasica #podcaster #radio #musictechnology #musicatecnologica #musictech #podcasters #podcastshow #tecnologiayarte #nuevopodcast #artedigital #digital #logaritmos #artecontecnologia #digital #musicaelectronica #electronica #pensamientoabstracto #industriadelamusica #interactivo #mit #imagenytecnologia #contemporaneo #artecontemporaneo

Six years after the beginning of the Fight for $15 movement, conventional wisdom is finally waking up to economic reality. How do we know? Because the New York Times recently published an editorial titled ‘Let’s Talk About Higher Wages’ calling on the incoming Biden administration to focus on higher wages for everyone. They couldn’t be more right on. Binyamin Appelbaum, the lead writer on business and economics for the Editorial Board, helps us understand the change in consensus on wages. Binyamin Appelbaum is the lead writer on business and economics for the Editorial Board of The New York Times. From 2010 to 2019, he was a Washington correspondent for the Times, covering economic policy. His book, ‘The Economists’ Hour: False Prophets, Free Markets, and the Fracture of Society’ is a Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller.  Twitter: @BCAppelbaum Nick on Marketplace: https://www.marketplace.org/2020/12/08/new-rand-study-quantifies-cost-of-rising-us-inequality/ Binyamin has been a guest on our show before!

W 2019 roku Alan Krueger napisał książkę „Rockonomics”. Sięgnąłem po nią tuż po premierze, bo jest ona poświęcona moim dwóm pasjom – muzyce (głównie rockowej) i ekonomii. Krueger wspaniale opisuje mechanizmy, które działają na rynku muzycznym. I rzeczywiście, jak sugeruje podtytuł książki, możemy się wiele nauczyć od przemysłu muzycznego nie tylko o ekonomii, ale także o życiu. W tym odcinku siedem kluczy do „Rockonomii” – czyli siedem najważniejszy ekonomicznych lekcji… Czytaj dalej Artykuł WN020 – Muzyka i ekonomia – 7 najważniejszych lekcji pochodzi z serwisu Bartłomiej Biga.

Two ways of creating the rules for the game - long one and a hackers shortcut. Instead of finding how to play find who knows how to win the game. How not to fall into a trap of foul leaders. Researchers like Rej Chetty, Stacy Dale or Alan Krueger are seekers of the rules. What is the different between the opinion, exception and facts. Which facts can be turned into the rules for all. To create the rule you need to know what is the goal of the game. Measuring progress is how you find out if your getting closer to your goal. Shocking truth about higher education.

We lead off with a lively chat on income inequality via “Rockonomics - a backstage tour of what the music industry can teach us about economics and life,” a fascinating book by the late behavioral economist Alan Krueger. Joining us are Marc Zumoff, broadcast veteran and the longtime television voice of the Philadelphia 76ers, to talk about team culture, and media…and entrepreneur/executive Steve Lapa who discusses the popularity of podcasting and the ingredients for a successful show (including ours!)

In this episode you will hear: (5:47) In this week’s news, an Atlantic article “Does is Really Matter Where You Go to College?” by Derek Thompson. Applying to the most elite institutions is highly stressful for so many people because they feel it’s the only way to get the absolute top notch instruction, to get connected to prestigious alumni and so they’ll be identified by employers as having the best talent. This article spotlights a famous study by economists Stacy Dale and Alan Krueger that debunked those ideas. Their findings suggested that the individual talents and ambitions of students are worth more than the resources that any elite school could provide. A new study was more recently conducted to re-evaluate the Dale-Krueger findings and it reinforced the findings of the previous study. It found that selectivity does not make an earning difference for affluent white males but it does make a difference for students of color, First-Gen students and students of color. We discuss these two studies and two others and we give our theory on why the results for affluent white males was different than for others. (22:04) We are in Chapter 72 of 171 Answers and Mark shares his advice to undocumented students. We talk about what undocumented students need to know about the college process. We give our best advice to undocumented students, their parents and counselors who work with them. We share a helpful resource that can help undocumented students and we discuss just how widely the policies vary from state to state. (32:27) For our question segment – we are responding to the breaking news around the College Board rolling out what they are calling the Environmental Context Dashboard, but the media is labeling it an adversity score, and so far, that term is sticking. Mark addresses the case(s) that supports the new scoring system. This is the third of four segments we are taking to explain what Mark believes is a very significant development in college admissions. We strongly encourage you to hear part 1, where we explained what the ECD is the history of how it got here; part 2 looks at the case against the ECD. The ECD is highly controversial but in this episode, Mark makes a compelling case for why the ECD is a very good idea. (53:48)  Mark continues his interview with Dr. Josie Uribistondo in Preparation for the Personal Statement, Part 2.  Josie talks about exercises she uses when people have writers block  Josie shares her 5 pillars of Identity exercises that she uses to help students with writers block  Josie talks about how a student can involve others to help them in their writing  Josie talks about how the essay has to sound like it is from an 18 year old  I ask Josie whether she sees value to having students read other essays  We end this section by asking Josie where she comes down on the controversial question, Are there topics that are taboo that students should be avoided  Josie talks about the different options for the Introduction the student can employ  Josie talks about how a student can showcase their critical thinking and she says part of her mission is get students to not just tell a pretty story  Josie talks a lot about the power of reflection in the Personal Essay Next Dr Urbistondo talks about the power of symbols, synonyms, imagery and being multi-sensory  Josie talks about what she does when her students writing is too shallow?  We then turn our attention to health and writing, is there a correlation, Josie shares some thoughts on this? (62:41)  Mark’s recommended resource of the week is the Twitter handle @FAFSA. This is the official account of Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Dept. of Education. This Twitter account provide updated information on grants, loans, & work-study funds for college or career school. We have a second recommended resource this week. It is a college board link that is a repository of resources for undocumented students: https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/professionals/repository-of-resources-for-undocumented-students.pdf Don’t forget to send your questions related to any and every facet of the college process to   Every episode of Your College-Bound Kid will align with a chapter from the book 171 Answers to the Most-Asked College Admission Questions.

In paying his respects to the recently deceased Alan Krueger, author of the widely discussed 1994 Card-Krueger study on the minimum wage, Krugman praises him for changing the way economists think about that subject. According to Krugman/Krueger, the labor market is more complicated than we thought, and increases in the minimum wage appear to have little to no effects on employment. Here's our reply to all this.
