Despite being a 3-decade-long reader of @TheEconomist I couldn't agree more with @DAcemogluMIT "If this is the best you can do with a body of work spanning 33 years, then it is your critique that is “oddly unconvincing.” If one wants to understand, here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
This week we published an article critically assessing the work of @DAcemogluMIT. In response, the Nobel prize-winning economist has robustly defended his research and core ideas. Read his letter in full: economist.com/letters/2026/0…

Daron Acemoglu blasts The Economist over their bizarre critique of him: “Your central verdict that I am 'oddly unconvincing' rests on unnamed economists revealing their true opinion of me over a few drinks. No persons who have been offered drinks to get to this truth are named. Would you publish a letter asserting that, over a few drinks, most people tell me that your newspaper is no longer worth subscribing to? The only person quoted with such views is a blogger, Noah Smith, a thin basis for judging a lifetime of academic work [...] If this is the best you can do with a body of work spanning 33 years, then it is your critique that is 'oddly unconvincing.'”

Who funds development RCTs? Using my new database of dev papers 2021-2025, I pulled information from funding acknowledgments. (This requires, generally, full-text, and is not feasible using metadata; thus I did not do this for non-RCTs.) #econtwitter #econsky

This is the hardest update I’ve had to share.
I previously shared that I had a partial scholarship and was trying to cover the deposit to travel for my studies.
Unfortunately, I’ve since learned that evacuation for study is only possible with full funding that includes accommodation, or through an official sponsor.
I still hold a strong university offer, and my goal has not changed but I have only 5 days to make a final decision.
If any individual, organisation, or institution can help cover the remaining fees or act as a study sponsor, your support could truly change my future.
Even sharing this post means everything 🤍
After months of trying, I finally got accepted to the University of Aberdeen with a partial scholarship.
The challenge now is paying the deposit within a few days and I can’t do it without your support. ❤️

Hi #EconTwitter, I’m excited to be on the #EconJobMarket!
My JMP asks a timely question with important implications for democracy: why do politicians produce toxic rhetoric?

Short 🧵 on boring but imp topic: how to format tables! First, + most imp point: table in an econ paper should be comprehensible w/o any cross-reference to text. Variables should be clearly defined (not "lnconsexp"; write "Consumption)"; + specification described in notes

🚀 Calling #DevelomentEconomics postdocs from low- and middle-income countries! Applications are open for the 6th cohort of the Stephan Klasen Fellowship at University of Göttingen.
📅 Duration: April 2026 – March 2027
⏰ Deadline: November 16, 2025
Please retweet! Details👇

This paper shows that authors from low-income countries remain excluded from top-ranked economics journals and receive less attention from other economists. Developing country authors are far less likely to be published in top journals even when holding citation counts constant.
