You know all that stuff you hear about how teachers
unions protect bad teachers through the evils of due process and their general
badness? A new
study for the National Bureau of Economic Research puts the lie to that
myth.
The National Bureau of Economic Research is the
largest economics research organization in the United States. Many of the
American winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences were NBER
Research Associates. Many of the Chairmen of the Council of Economic Advisers
have also been NBER Research Associates.
