You might ask: do the same teachers who raise academic skills also raise socio-emotional skills? No! The within-teacher correlation of test score value-added and conscientiousness or extroversion value-added is close to zero, suggesting that these effects are almost orthogonal to each other (5/N)

Using data from a personality test taken by Finnish men, I estimate that one standard deviation higher conscientiousness value-added teachers increase student conscientiousness by 0.067 standard deviations. The estimate for extroversion is 0.073 sd's and 0.175 sd's for test score value-added. (4/N)

🚀 I’m excited to share that I’m on the #EconSky job market this year! In my #EconJMP, I study how teachers in Finnish upper secondary schools impact students’ socio-emotional skills – and the labor market returns of these effects! (🧵, 1/N)
