Among undergraduate business programs, MIT Sloan School of Management placed first in three categories: analytics, production/operations management, and quantitative analysis. The school placed second in entrepreneurship and second overall.

A review of New Zealand's monetary policy following the COVID pandemic by professor of the practice Athanasios Orphanides and co-author found that the economy "overheated to an historically extreme degree." They also found that a law change by the previous government giving the bank a dual mandate to support employment, as well as control inflation, also helped to steer decision-makers away from price stability, but noted it was one of multiple factors.

Professor Yasheng Huang wrote: "What Yang Jian (541–604) created was a system that outlived him, outlived his short dynasty (581–618), and then ran through the rest of imperial history and beyond. Keju is the imperial civil service examination, established in 587. If I had to name one thing that separates Chinese civilisation from European civilisation, I would name keju. Is it an exaggeration to say that Chinese AI capabilities and the trophies won at the Math Olympiad came from 1,300 years of doing problem sets again and again? I do not think so. You can credit, or blame, much of this to Yang Jian."

Professor Simon Johnson and co-author wrote: "The case for a larger Chinese role no longer rests only on Beijing's general interest in regional stability. China now has a direct stake in limiting the economic damage from the war, growing demands from governments in the region to become more involved, and unusually strong leverage over the central elements of any durable settlement."

A paper by professor Sinan Aral and co-author found that workers who lean on AI to do their thinking lose the underlying skill over time, and junior people lose it faster than senior people. Run that forward and you get a team less capable than it would've been without AI. The authors called this the augmentation trap. The productivity gain shows up immediately. The skill loss shows up later, and by then, it's expensive, maybe impossible, to reverse.​

A paper by assistant professor Anna Stansbury and co-author found that scholars whose parents did not graduate from college are less likely to land tenure-track jobs at major research universities and less likely to get tenure. The researchers found that the disadvantage of being a first-generation college graduate could be even greater than the disadvantages associated with being female or nonwhite.
