TLDR
For example, Tufte as discussed by the authors observes that the popular media in the U.S. considers the scatterplot beyond the common reader, and there is hope that the statistical literacy movement will eventually force a well-justified reassessment.Abstract:
Plot interpretation is an interesting topic because the ability to interpret plots is a measure of scientific literacy and because plots themselves can be informative. Tufte (1983) observes that the popular media in the U.S. considers the scatterplot beyond the common reader. Noting that some elementary school curricula include Cartesian plots, and even box and whisker plots, there is hope that the statistical literacy movement will eventually force a well-justified reassessment.read more

The Widening Academic Achievement Gap Between the Rich and the Poor: New Evidence and Possible Explanations
TL;DR: Duncan et al. as discussed by the authors examined whether and how the relationship between family socioeconomic characteristics and academic achievement has changed during the last fifty years and found that the achievement gap between children from high and low-income families is roughly 30 to 40 percent larger among children born in 2001 than among those born twenty-five years earlier.

Cohort and life-course patterns in the relationship between education and health: a hierarchical approach.
TL;DR: The effect of education strengthens across age, that this pattern is becoming stronger across cohorts, and that these patterns are suppressed when either effect is ignored.

Decision-making Competence: External Validation through an Individual-differences Approach.
TL;DR: In this paper, an aggregate measure of decision-making competence (DMC) was appropriately correlated with plausible sources, concomitants, and outcomes of good decision making, suggesting the underlying construct's external validity.
The Measurement of Depreciation in the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the theoretical and empirical literature that supports the new bea methodology, which has shown that depreciation for most types of assets approximates a geometric pattern.

TL;DR: The authors conducted a study of more than 750 Generation Z students from 15 institutions of varying sizes and types across the country and found that while Generation Z shares some characteristics with Millennials, it is a vastly different generational cohort.
