I've been here for a while but only as my professional self. Is it ok to come out of my shell?

As #climate disasters increase in severity & frequency, there is growing concern about how emergency responses can address gender inequality. But--why not think ahead? #AnticipatoryAction can help mobilize resources before disaster strikes. Check out our blog (and discussion paper)!

I should remember to discuss this paper in my class, because we may have an overly rosy view of cash transfers & women's decisionmaking power.

I'm following this just for Jeremy. Is he your only tortoise?

I do find that papers have better grammar, though not necessarily better content. I see lots of citation padding.

He's very interested in sociology and how institutions & poverty & inequality get in the way of science and innovation.

Is there a group of #Pinoys and #Fil-Am academics here? Looking for community! Also, my son (college freshman) is interested in finding Fil-Am professors with whom to brainstorm. He's trying to decide between STEM and social sciences (or keeping both!)

Maraming salamat!

Enjoy! I hope you scope out the good food in the vicinity (try to go outside Poughkeepsie, which will be very, very crowded).

Just came across this cool paper! "A Signal to End Child Marriage: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Bangladesh." by Nina Buchmann, Erica Field, Rachel Glennerster, Shahana Nazneen, and Xiao Yu Wang. 2023. American Economic Review www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=... #Econsky 📈📉
Child marriage remains common even where female schooling and employment opportunities have grown. We experimentally evaluate a financial incentive to delay marriage alongside a girls' empowerment program in Bangladesh. While girls eligible for two years of incentive are 19 percent less likely to marry underage, the empowerment program failed to decrease adolescent marriage. We show that these results are consistent with a signaling model in which bride type is imperfectly observed but preferred types (socially conservative girls) have lower returns to delaying marriage. Consistent with our theoretical prediction, we observe substantial spillovers of the incentive on untreated nonpreferred types.
