"Operation Warp Speed, a uniquely successful federal government project..." Uniquely successful at what exactly? Skipping all the safety studies in order to rush to market a vaccine that doesn't work and has the highest rate of adverse side effects of any vaccine in the past seventy years?
Graham argues that European police are more effective than American police because they don't have the post-Warren-Court Bill of Rights. His assertion is that Europe (even the UK) doesn't have concepts like "inadmissible evidence" or "the right to remain silent", which makes it much easier to secure convictions, which therefore means that sentences don't have to be as long to achieve the same deterrent effect.
So it depends on what your denominator is. 80% is consistent with the table if you use total effect on income as the denominator with the portion not explained by increased productivity in the numerator (since pure ability bias implies no effect of education on either income or productivity you get .4/.5).
When he says that the ability bias model is observationally equivalent to a consumption model, I think he is referring to the observed relationship between education and earnings or productivity that we would see if people went to school just because they enjoyed it (derived consumption value). Ability bias is still a different model from the consumption model, just happens to be observationally equivalent.
Initially when I read the table, I was using the model ratios since they were closest to what Alex said but I think that was a mistake on both our parts. The relevant number should be the 80%.
Private schools ensure that the place you send your kids to daycare won't make them bored/miserable, tell them they are the wrong gender, and make them were a mask all day.
I love my kids private school. They do all of their classes outside when they can. Go on nature walks. Run a mile every day. Have no homework. Do a lot of fun activities. Involve the parents. The math isn't common core bullshit. The kids all seem well behaved, and they aren't allowed to be in front of screens at all (the kids at the after school program for public elementary school seem to be on their laptops playing games a lot). In short, they seem to love it and we like it.
If we got an Arizona style school voucher we wouldn't even have to worry about the cost differential.
Private schools do not ensure that at all. Both private school teachers and public school teachers attend the same teachers colleges. The private school might be more responsive to market pressure from the parents. But the teachers have all been drinking from the same poisoned well.
My kids private school is run by a group of conservative Catholic homeschoolers that all have 4+ kids. Her kindergarten teacher left public school because of all the nonsense from the last few years. I'm pretty sure they aren't about to get taught gender theory.
On a somewhat related note, I very much sympathize with the views of American psychologist G. Stanley Hall: (from Wikipedia)
[Hall] characterized pre-adolescent children as savages and therefore rationalized that reasoning was a waste of time with children. He believed that children must simply be led to fear God, love country, and develop a strong body. As the child burns out the vestiges of evil in his nature, he needs a good dose of authoritarian discipline, including corporal punishment. He believed that adolescents are characterized by more altruistic natures than pre-adolescents and that high schools should indoctrinate students into selfless ideals of service, patriotism, body culture, military discipline, love of authority, awe of nature, and devotion to the state and the well-being of others. Hall consistently argued against intellectual attainment at all levels of public education. Open discussion and critical opinions were not to be tolerated. Students needed indoctrination to save them from the individualism that was so damaging to the progress of American culture.

On Tabarrok's claims about the "underpolicing" of America's cities, has he ever responded to the objections from Graham?

I was surprised to hear Alex say that Bryan’s estimate is that 50% of education is signaling. Turns out his estimate is actually only 40%.
That makes it seem like Bryan is much less extreme than he really is though because he assigns an additional 50% of the credit to ability bias.

That sounds wonderful. However, your private school is nowhere near the norm for private schools.
