Random analysis of stuff that interests me. On school quality, test scores, and SES. April 25, 2015. May 20, 2015. I am going to share a little analysis I’ve done by combining Pennsylvania’s PSSA test scores, Census ACS data, and Department of Education statistics to refute a few popular progressive notions about education, namely, that:. 1: The SAT/ACT only “measures family income”. 2: This is somehow being caused by more and better test prep efforts amongst the more affluent.

https://jasonbayz.wordpress.com/2016/12/16/the-remnants-of-war
Retiring the ‘alt-Right’ label. Trump Should Keep Talking About Israel →. The Remnants of War*. December 16, 2016. This book by John Mueller, published in 2004, posits that war:. Mueller’s theory focuses on differences in culture and attitudes toward war, rather than economic and military factors, to explain this decline in war. It is here that I believe his thesis fails. The fact that Hollandization occurred in areas outside Europe, areas which were not very culturally modern and whose people never read...

Random analysis of stuff that interests me. On educational attainment rates and income as a causative factor. June 13, 2015. June 14, 2015. As I mentioned to Robert VerBruggen in his latest piece on educational attainment and income. I do not believe that economic concerns are a major. Of differences in education attainment rates by income. These differences would likely to be larger still if I did this as a composite SES index using education, income, occupational prestige, etc).

Random analysis of stuff that interests me. More silliness related to corporate profits. October 25, 2012. May 20, 2015. I was pointed to this work by Hussman. The implication here is that total dissaving is not only strongly correlated with corporate profits, but is directly causative. Although he doesn’t fully specify this methods, it’s obvious that Corporate Profits is after-tax corporate profits (including foreign profits) and I was able to approximate his results using this FRED2 link.

A quick post on gun related homicides – Random Critical Analysis
https://randomcriticalanalysis.wordpress.com/2015/06/21/a-quick-post-on-gun-related-homicides
Random analysis of stuff that interests me. A quick post on gun related homicides. June 21, 2015. June 21, 2015. While I am personally ambivalent about gun ownership and suspect it plays an. Role in relative differences between countries/regions/etc (holding other things roughly equal), I thought I’d add some perspective into this argument. About the presumed causality of gun ownership on homicide rates. And compared it to the gun ownership rate data via wikipedia. Of course, even when I remove gun-homic...

A (very) brief exploratory analysis of NLSY97 height data – Random Critical Analysis
https://randomcriticalanalysis.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/a-very-brief-exploratory-analysis-of-nlsy97-height-data
Random analysis of stuff that interests me. A (very) brief exploratory analysis of NLSY97 height data. June 14, 2015. June 15, 2015. The NLSY97 data provides height information for both biological parents and students at yearly intervals, so I thought I’d take a look at that data. Note: I’m not filtering out for people that reported in one round but not in another, so some volatility is to be expected. Not to mention that some people may choose to round up or down somewhat randomly🙂. Or just at age 21 i...

County level homicide rates by race/ethnicity of victim – Random Critical Analysis

Random analysis of stuff that interests me. County level homicide rates by race/ethnicity of victim. June 24, 2015. June 25, 2015. In my last post. I plotted the overall US county-level homicide rate (all groups combined) by racial/ethnic demographics. Much of that correlation is being driven by high black-on-black homicide rates throughout the country. If I plot the rate by the race/ethnicity of the. Minimum population size = 10K (r=0.29). Minimum population size = 100K (r=0.39). That’s it for now.
