Geographic access to colleges shapes degree outcomes. Students in community college deserts face disparities while White students pivot to 4-year colleges and Black/Hispanic students often forgo college, from @riacton, @KalenaCortes, @Lois-Miller, and @CamilaNtMorales nber.org/papers/w33337

Ron Fisher, my MSU colleague for 33 years -- and office neighbor for the past several -- was economics chair at MSU in 1990 when encountered Leslie at an NTA conference. Their conversation led to our visiting MSU, liking it, both getting offers, and accepting.

Two people who had positive impacts on my life passed away this week. Tom Rothenberg, emeritus at Berkeley, was my mentor and unofficial advisor when I was an undergrad after I enrolled in his PhD course. He directed me to UCSD and was key in my getting a Regents' Fellowship.

Just going to say, it's very sad to see Sherrod Brown lose his race tonight. He has been a strong advocate for American workers.

How geographic access to public colleges affects enrollment across race and socioeconomic status, with Hispanic and rural students facing fewer local options, shaping their enrollment decisions, from @riacton, @KalenaCortes, and @CamilaNtMorales nber.org/papers/w33085

Interesting work from @riacton and colleagues on college "deserts" and how being further away from schools can be a barrier for some groups to accessing higher education. edsurge.com/news/2024-10-2…
