An idea and economics...
A few years ago, I posted about a simple proposition: That transparency of the US News criteria for law school rankings had facilitated attempts to game those rankings. It turns out that three economists (Florian Ederer of UCLA, Richard Holden of the Univ. of Chicago, and Margaret Meyer from Oxford) saw that post, combined it with some similar situations, and tested the thesis. Their work is about to appear in the American Economic Review, and you can download it here.
Interesting stuff!
