Minimum wage now worth less
The Independent, 17/04/2012, p.25, Andrew Grice
The national minimum wage is now worth less than it was in 2004 and a higher rate should be introduced for workers aged 25 and over, according to a report by Professor Alan Manning, published today. Professor Manning says that the caution about raising it in recent years was justified but finds the impact of the wage floor has now stalled.

Economics is in crisis. But why aren't political scientists and sociologists offering an alternative view?
The Guardian, 17/04/2012, p.5, Aditya Chakrabortty
Comment: Aditya Chakrabortty says: "At the start of the banking crisis, the air was thick with the sound of lachrymose economists. How did they miss the biggest crash since 1929? Professors at the LSE were asked that very question by the Queen - and were too tongue-tied to reply."

Four-year-olds put in truancy league tables
Daily Mail, 17/04/2012, p.31, Sarah Harris
Streaming by ability in schools can benefit girls but hinders boys, a study suggests. Professor Victor Lavy, from Warwick University, whose joint study with the London School of Economics is published in the Journal of Labor Economics, said this may be because girls strive to keep up, while boys tend to turn off when they feel inferior.

Why would policymakers want to gag a past master of economic prophecy?
guardian.co.uk (Web), 16/04/2012, Mark Tran
Last week, former Unctad staff accused rich countries of wanting to remove the organisation's mandate to analyse global finance, effectively removing a dissenting voice in the debate on economic policy. Robert Wade, professor of political economy and development at the London School of Economics, flagged up the issue on the Guardian's economics blog.

Embellishing makes MPs 'more human'
MSN UK (Web), 16/04/2012, Unattributed
Politicians who embellish the facts may be seen as being pathetic but, in some eyes, it makes them seem more human, an expert in political communications has said. Dr Margaret Scammell, senior fellow at the London School of Economics, spoke out after an admission by the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, that the claim that he once helped David Cameron to build an Ikea baby cabinet for the Prime Minister's daughter Florence was "not entirely grounded in fact".
