Large-Scale Education Reform in General Equilibrium: Regression Discontinuity Evidence from India: Comment
This paper reanalyzes Khanna (2023), which studies labor market effects of schooling in India through regression discontinuity designs. Absent from the data are four districts close to the discontinuity; restoring them cuts the reduced-form impacts on schooling and log wages by 57% and 63%. Using regression-specific optimal band-widths and a robust variance estimator clustered at the geographic unit of treatment makes impacts statistically indistinguishable from 0. That finding is robust to varying the identifying threshold and the bandwidth. The estimates of general equilibrium effects and elasticities of substitution are not unbiased and have effectively infinite first and second moments.

Skills Beget Skills: Evidence from Historical School Reforms Targeting Health and Further Education
This paper investigates the dynamic complementarity between school health and education reforms implemented in Denmark between 1940 and 1965: the introduction of school doctors and the expansion of secondary education. U…
Do school reforms shape study behavior at university? Evidence from an instructional time reform
Early-life environments can have long-lasting developmental effects. Interestingly, research on how school reforms affect later-life study behavior has hardly adopted this perspective. Therefore, we investigated a stagge…
Generalized uncertain Nash games: Reformulation and robust equilibrium seeking -- Extended version
We consider generalized Nash equilibrium problems (GNEPs) with linear coupling constraints affected by both local (i.e., agent-wise) and global (i.e., shared resources) disturbances taking values in polyhedral uncertaint…
Readying Medical Students for Medical AI: The Need to Embed AI Ethics Education
Medical students will almost inevitably encounter powerful medical AI systems early in their careers. Yet, contemporary medical education does not adequately equip students with the basic clinical proficiency in medical …
EthicsMeasuring Conversational Uptake: A Case Study on Student-Teacher Interactions
In conversation, uptake happens when a speaker builds on the contribution of their interlocutor by, for example, acknowledging, repeating or reformulating what they have said. In education, teachers' uptake of student co…
