Idiosyncratic favorites

^amazing data but to be more clear this is just from one (big) firm

^other very interesting results in the thread

^very interesting, curious if there is a reconciliation of the results here with the Marcotte (2007) / Hansen (2008) findings that even 1 snow day has a measurable negative impact on test scores

^thought this exchange with the author was funny: “I am 52, and I am an existential psychotherapist and not on an academic track. I am simply too old to cheat in this, wasting precious lifetime just to come up with some results. No way ;-)”
