In my view, the two most important questions in economics are: 1. Compared to what? 2. What happens next? The first is about opportunity cost which is about comparing alternatives. The second is about incentives and tracing out the obvious and less obvious ways benefits/costs change and how that will influence behavior. This recent episode with dropping standardized test requirements and finding this leads to worse results (along different dimensions) is a great example of both. But, the one that sticks out the most is “compared to what?”.

In the world of higher education, we sometimes fall into the trap of focusing more on speculative theories than practical student-centered solutions.

In our latest blog post, Anudhi shares her top takeaways around education, finance, and policy issues for students from childhood through adulthood — as well as thoughts on future areas of exploration and improvement for the conference: https://lnkd.in/geYNdwrS

Universities are trying to work to improve student attendance of lectures as many have low attendance post-pandemic. However, like with schools rather than completely losing the accessibility that technology brought into the uni experience maybe we need to think about evolving delivery. #academia #education #students https://lnkd.in/e2fvKQeA
