Thank you @BauNatalie! None of this would have been possible without my wonderful co-author @laspinx, and the support of four incredible advisors in @BauNatalie, @juliana_londono , @Manisha_econ, and Adriana Lleras-Muney.
I have learned so much from all of them! :)
Okay, last but certainly not least, I'll tweet about another excellent student, @D__Henning. David is a development economist, focusing on firms and their interactions with regulation/tax administration. His JMP studies how tax audits affect firms AND aggregate output in Uganda.

In addition to being an excellent economist, @HuihuangZhu is a wonderful colleague, generous in his time and energy, gives great advice, and has amazing food recommendations😊He would be a stellar addition to any department!
@HuihuangZhu is a labor economist focusing on topics related to education and inequality. His JMP, "On the Right Track? Evaluating the Achievement and Inequality Effects of Academic Tracking" is the first I know of to causally measure the long-run effects of academic tracking.

Amid the chaos of the last few weeks, my paper on sports betting in Uganda came out.
A thread for those who’d like to know more, but don't want to download the pdf/skim the intro. 1/17

A few days ago, the University of Chicago, i.e. the president and provost, emailed the campus with a subject mentioning “public safety”
The email starts out by calling for an “examination and reflection of law enforcement in our society”

A classic question in development economics is whether (and what types of) poverty traps exist. This new paper by Balboni, @orianabandiera, Burgess, @maitreesh, @anton_heil finds evidence for poverty traps in Bangladesh. Let me try to explain... [1/N]

This. is. terrible.
This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. ice.gov/news/releases/sevp-m…
Wow indeed..
Wow, this graphic showing wealth to scale and in relation to other things blew me away.
I study such things for a living and still found it very instructive. Keep scrolling to the right.

So consumed with US news lately, I missed the very upsetting UK news of the DFID/Foreign Office merger. DFID has been so exemplary in pushing for evidence-based aid and policy, we need more of it not less. theguardian.com/politics/202…
