Investigating the “STEM gender-equality paradox” – in fairer societies, fewer women enter science
The percentage of women with STEM degrees is lower in more gender-equal countries, as measured by the WEF Gender Gap Index. Image from Stoet & Geary, 2018.
By Alex Fradera
The representation of women in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and maths) is increasing, albeit more slowly than many observers would like. But a focus on this issue has begun throwing up head-scratching anomalies, such as Finland, which has one of the larger gender gaps in STEM occupations, despite being one of the more gender equal societies, and boasting a higher science literacy rate in its girls than boys. Now a study in Psycholo...

Inflation Is Largely a Global Phenomenon
When economic journalists speculate about loominginflation risks in the U.S. or any other country, they implicitly assume that each country ’s inflation depends on that country’s fiscal or monetary policies, and perhaps the unemployment rate. YetTheEconomist for March 3rd–9th shows approximately 1 –2 percent inflation in the consumer prices index (CPI) for virtually all major economies. Inflation rates were surprisingly similar regardless of whether countries had budget deficits larger than ours (Japan and China) or big surpluses (Norway and Hong Kong), regardless of whether central banks experimented with“quant...

Scientific Studies Show How Nutrition Influences Our Creativity
In conclusion, our creative thinking is affected by a number of external elements, but the food we eat is such an important part of it. Choosing a diet with ingredients that are gradually processed by our body are crucial to staying productive. At the same time, our diet will also affect mental energy and positivity, and the combination of these factors will determine our levels of creativity.

Erdogan's Fatal Blind Spot
Countering the growing terrorist threat appears to be low on Erdogan ' s agenda. Turkey has been accused of recruiting thousands of former Islamic State fighters to attack Kurds in Syria. Tolerating the Islamic State in order to fight the Kurds is a dangerous and myopic policy. (Source: The RAND Blog)

Tillerson's All of the Above Policy for Syria
In his recent address on American policy in Syria, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson proposed to suppress ISIS resurgence, oust Bashar al Assad, reduce Iranian influence, continue to back a Kurdish dominated enclave and reassure our Turkish allies. It ' s important to understand why such an“all of the above” approach would not be workable. (Source: The RAND Blog)

New Human Freedom Index: A Decline in Global Freedom
The newHuman Freedom Index is out today. For a third year, the annual report —published by Cato, the Fraser Institute in Canada, and the Liberales Institut in Germany—paints a broad picture of personal, civil and economic freedom in the world. It uses 79 indicators in 12 areas ranging from freedom of religion to freedom to trade.Here are some highlights. Global freedom has declined slightly compared to last year ’s report and compared to 2008, the first year for which we have complete data. Switzerland is the freest country in the world, followed by Hong Kong, which fell from first place for the first time since the ...

Freedom, Not Protectionism, Is America's Greatest Achievement
Well, that was fast. Only a dayafter I said that we are likely to see increasing calls for protectionism citing alleged national security concerns, Scott N. Paul took to thepages ofThe New York Times to urge the imposition of new restrictions on steel imports based on this same justification. Long on attempted tugs at emotional and patriotic heartstrings, the piece is strikingly short on data suggesting U.S. national security has been imperiled by foreign imports. Indeed, to the extent Paul, who serves as president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, even attempts to make this case it is through the following:Even ...

Much Ado About Yik Yak
Campus controversy is all the rage these days. Today ’s installment comes from the University of Mary Washington, located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Members of the local student affiliate of the Feminist Majority Foundation took public positions against fraternities and various other problems exemplifying what was, in their view, a toxic student c ulture regarding sexual assault (for example, the men’s rugby team singing a necrophilic drinking song).Students who disagreed with the feminist activists went on Yik Yak, a now-defunct app that allowed anonymous users to post whatever they like. It turns out that the veil ...

Trump Commits to Another Open-Ended War in Syria
One of the leading critiques against President Trump ’s foreign policy is that it smacks of global retreat and constitutes a U.S. withdrawal from the leading role it has played in the so-called “liberal world order. ” As I explain inan op-ed in theNew York Post today, that critique is unfounded.I cite Joe Scarboroughlamenting Trump ’s “dangerous retreat from the world,” and Evan Osnos who, in a recent piece inThe New Yorker,claimed,“President Trump is reducing U.S. commitments abroad.” Likewise, Hal Brands, who worked on foreign policy strategy in the Obama administration and is now a professor at Johns Hop...
