If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me.
Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.

Since August, Manaus in the Amazon has been covered with smoke from forest fires with little public awareness. That’s unfortunate.
Rafael Araujo, Teevrat Garg, and I studied what happened when Amazon forest fires went viral in August 2019.

Wildfires in dry Amazon rainforest choke Manaus city | Reuters
Clouds of dense gray smoke from dozens of wildfires in the Brazilian Amazon, many of them illegally started, have hung over the region's capital city Manaus, making the air increasingly unbreathable.

Clean coding was always about collaborating with others, including your future self. Now others include GitHub Copilot.
Use proper function signatures and good function and variable names, and Copilot will be better able to help you.
As soon as I entered `if`, Copilot could fill in the rest.

A sleepless night + teaching day = I was late to the Nobel news party. Rupi Kapur describes my feelings better than I can express myself. Feeling immense gratitude to Claudia Goldin for paving the way for female economists like me.

For those who just joined, I think it's a great idea to post something instead of leaving your wall blank.
Much easier for us to judge your entire personality and work based on one post instead of none.
