The Effects of Air Pollution on Teenagers' Cognitive Performance: Evidence from School Leaving Examination in Poland
Random disturbances such as air pollution may affect cognitive performance, which, particularly in high-stakes settings, may have severe consequences for an individual's productivity and well-being. This paper examines the short-term effects of air pollution on school leaving exam results in Poland. I exploit random variation in air pollution between the days on which exams are held across three consecutive school years. I aim to capture this random variation by including school and time fixed …

Eminently true for this new (almost one year!) e-bike owner!
In its first year, I’m on track to put ~2200 miles on the e-bike — and <1000 miles on the car. (In previous years, car mileage was ~3000-5000 mi/year.)
And per the study, I can say with confidence that I’m doing a whole lot of things on the e-bike that I would certainly have done on the car in the past: commuting, school transportation, groceries and errands — all theoretically bikable before, but mostly car-based in practice. Until now.

A Principled Approach to Randomized Selection under Uncertainty
Many decision-making processes involve evaluating and then selecting items; examples include scientific peer review, job hiring, school admissions, and investment decisions. The eventual selection is performed by applying rules or deliberations to the raw evaluations, and then deterministically selecting the items deemed to be the best. These domains feature error-prone evaluations and uncertainty about future outcomes, which undermine the reliability of such deterministic selection rules. As a…
