Why does the U.S. have the best research universities? How did it get here, even when it historically lagged Europe? My new book, released today, attempts to explain this. Much cheaper on Nook thank Kindle for some reason---links in thread.pic.twitter.com/OfNIhlv5m7
What about America's greater size? At first glance one would think that's the key reason. Thanks.
I argue it is mainly market orientation. The US was larger and richer than Europe for a long time before its universities became any good. The US underperforms in PISA tests. Size alone is no guarantee of performance.
A punto de terminar de leer el libro. ¡Me encantó!
Me alegro, mil gracias, Juliana.
Looks very interesting. WWII drove many talented researchers from Europe to the US -- was this critical for US universities taking the lead, or did it just accelerate the process? Or am I just overestimating the importance of that dimension?
Good point. I argue that the U.S. was on a distinct upward trajectory well before that (although it certainly helped). I argue the origin are market forces and reforms that were home-grown, so to speak.
Congrats Miguel, can’t wait to read it!
Thanks so much Francois. I enjoyed writing it, probably more than I should have ;)
Congrats Miguel!
Thanks a lot Joana! I hope you are well.
