Es difícil imaginar una política más regresiva: beneficiará enormemente a los propietarios de viviendas caras, y apenas los de viviendas más baratas. Por no hablar de los no propietarios…

Cumplimos con nuestro compromiso y bajamos el IBI al mínimo que permite la ley (0,4%). Una nueva rebaja que supondrá 31,2 millones de euros de ahorro para los madrileños en 2027.

La deshumanización de los otros abre las puertas del infierno. Ha muerto un niño, un adolescente, un menor de edad que estaba en dependencias del Estado bajo responsabilidad del Estado. No un invasor, no un militar, no un integrante de un ejército. Un niño pobre.

La única manera en la que pueden morir 141 personas en cuestión de días sin que sea un escándalo es que dichas muertes sean de personas migrantes, racializadas y en frontera. Es la deshumanización en su máximo nivel.

🗣️ @NikoCastellano cuenta en Hora 25 que ascienden a 141 los migrantes muertos en la tragedia de Ceuta. Fuentes oficiales le confirman que son 78 los cuerpos recuperados en España y 63 los recogidos en aguas marroquíes 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=_3VW4-F7…

🚨New Working Paper! What survives when a successful education pilot becomes a government program? Excited to finally share this after all the hard work! 👇👇

New Discussion Paper!! 📰 Can effective tutoring programs survive being scaled up by governments with different staff, no researcher oversight of the implementation, and real budget constraints? We ran an RCT in Spain to find out. Short answer: yes, but with caveats.

Congrats @jorgeghombrados and the rest of the team!! Super cool and policy-relevant paper 👇👇

This paper has been in my head for years. From my time at 3ie and JPAL, wondering why the evidence we produce as researchers so often fails to translate into policy, and what role ideology plays. Very happy to see it now published in the @AEAjournals. Let me tell you the story 🧵

A fascinating paper about the evidence to policy pipeline from @jorgeghombrados + a large team (he was a cool young researcher! You heard it here first) Bonus points: the policy recommendation involves updating Wikipedia. I love this

Bueno, pues aquí tenéis el que es mi primer (y probablemente último) paper. Un trabajo de años mano a mano con @jorgeghombrados y el resto de coautores, para mostrar los sesgos en la implementación de políticas públicas, con un experimento a miles de alcaldes españoles.
