You said 'rant' twice, not exactly polite disagreement.
The models are pretty simple - they are called supply and demand. They work for everything else in economics. Low pay for dangerous work is not so exceptional situation.
In poorer countries, there is even less pay for even more dangerous work, because education is even worse there. There's a few data points there.
And there's quite a lot of literature on the education system and teacher unions. To start off with their's Waiting For Superman (2010).
- sophacles 13y agoUntil there is data, not talking points or vague references to other models, it is in face just a rant. What is the actual supply? What is the actual demand? What is the curve function for the supply and demand lines for education and workers? What factors of those functions are accounting for teacher unions and what is the source data that you used to fit those functions in your model. I don't mean a handful of words - I mean actual data with numbers, or at least a citation to a work that has that available. Waiting for Superman may include those - I haven't read it. As for the attempt to derail over "politeness concerns" because I used the word rant - I won't bite.
- unz 13y agoLooking at your posting history you appear to be a professional forum arguer/troll and would be in full agreement if you hadn't started off with the opposite stance, so I'll end it there. By the way, very few of your comments have data backing them up, and often are just simple 'models' with some variables you wrote down mixed in with rudeness to other commenters.
- sophacles 13y agoWait what? This is a full move into ad hominem. Just because you don't like my request for more information and a better explanation, or don't like my past involvement with trolls, doesn't mean my point is invalid. I am merely requesting more information on your claims.
