Wednesday assorted links

1. Gelman on Seth Roberts.

2. “Using unique class-level data containing chronological variables and institutional, instructor, and student characteristics, spanning Fall 2010 to Spring 2021 of 7,852 undergraduate classes, it is shown class average grade point averages (GPAs) in the College of Agriculture at Texas A&M University increased for the three semesters most impacted by COVID-19.”  Link here, my hypothesis is that instructors graded by easier standards during that time.

3. Ukrainian used markets in totaled EVs.  And claims about Ukraine.

4. Those new service sector jobs.

5. Axel Kaiser on Milei.

6. Scott Sumner on Japan.

7. Greaney replies to Hsieh.

8. Douthat on Milei (NYT).
