A more accurate title: "Are Cornell Students Meritocratic and Efficiency-Seeking? Evidence from 271 MBA students and 67 Undergraduate Business Students."
This topic is important and the study interesting, but the methods exhibit the same generalizability bias as the famous Dunning-Kruger study.
The referenced MBA students -- and by extension, the elites -- only reflect 271 students across two years, all from the same university.
By analyzing biased samples, we risk misguided discourse on a sensitive subject.
