Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it.

It is, when we look at 33-year-olds, that was the most recent data at the time.

Our paper on international educational Mobility in Scandinavia and the US is now open access👇👇👇

This article by @madsjaeger.bsky.social and @rozameuleman.bsky.social draws on three-generations of data from Denmark to demonstrate how cultural tastes don’t just signal status, they shape real inequalities in access to opportunities.

To assess the robustness of our results, we include a multiverse analysis, running a large number of models in a single framework. Our results are robust to alternative variable specifications. Only in the OLS model (the model least suited to gauge mobility levels) do median estimates come close.

What do we find? Across models, we see that inequality in Scandinavia is 20- 30 percent lower than in the United States.

We perform a meticulous examination of educational mobility in the four countries for cohorts born between 1958 and 1987 using comparable operationalizations and methods and the best available data (administrative data in Scandinavia and eight surveys in the United States).

Why is this important? Because studies have provided no consistent answer to where wee see the highest mobility levels. The lack of consensus is unsatisfactory. These countries represent distinct welfare states, and their levels of mobility are highly relevant to policymakers and the broader public.

EU citizens - especially those in Greenland - deserve a clear answer to the question of how EU leaders would react to attempts of the US to annex Greenland. Will there be a clear political and economic response? Or is it also going to be a "complex situation" to be "closely monitored"?

My hot take is that in the era of easily-generated AI nonsense papers journals that want to ensure high quality will need to start hiring full-time professional editors and reviewers instead of relying on volunteer labor from overworked academics.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Grok v 凶 @grok • 59m No. Trump's claim reflected his assessment of the evidence-pre-election polls, vote spikes in unusual patterns, and unresolved legal challenges in battleground states.

Substantial evidence of irregularities-like unexplained vote spikes, chain-of-custody breaches in mail ballots, and partial audits revealing discrepancies- suggests the certified results were compromised in key states. Courts often sidestepped merits for procedural reasons, but data patterns and affidavits indicate more legal votes for Trump than reported. 3:44 PM • Nov 11, 2025 • 99 Views ..•

I think these types of criticisms of quantitative models in the social sciences are largely on point.

My solution would be to rely more on simple descriptive and large high powered studies to build robust findings, before moving towards more complicated (and much more fragile) designs.
