Happy to share that our paper was accepted at AEJ: Applied! We show that Roma identification in Romania drops sharply with education, from 80% to 40%, so official data may undercount Roma post-secondary graduates by a factor of 3 to 6. andrei-munteanu-econ.github.io/assets/pdf/rom…

Funniest part of this game. Sorry, guys, Casemiro (many years past his prime and barely mobile), Paqueta (back in Brazil at age 28, was mediocre in the Premier League) and Guimaraes (the best of the 3, but not elite) isn't a World Cup winning midfield.

RIP Mircea Lucescu. The greatest Romanian manager by a wide margin (and a great player, something that is less known outside Romania), with 36 major trophies.

His story is also one of great social mobility. He came from a very, very humble background.

My work about the effects of competitive high school admissions in Romania by @cremieuxrecueil has been featured in @palladiummag. It is an interesting and well-written piece, give it a read below. 👇

Students in Romania are sharply sorted with meritocratic tests throughout adolescence.

The result is a nation punching above its weight intellectually, but not necessarily capturing the benefits of its educational system.
