So, first off, I think the whole notion of "Intelligence Quotient" is pretty much nonsense and has been pretty well debunked in educational research. Apparently, Mankiw hasn't gotten the memo, however.
As predicted by me, Paul Krugman responds--he doesn't buy Mankiw's argument either.
Update: they pretty much bash open Mankiw over at the Monkey Cage, too.
