Once students graduate and earn a sufficiently high income, they repay a percentage of it into your DAF under an Income Share Agreement. You can then re-invest this money into future Malengo students, or in other charitable goals. (You cannot earn a private return; the money remains charitable.) 3/4

Neta sets up a donor-advised fund (DAF) for you. Money you put into it (minimum: $25k) directly supports our students from East Africa on their path to a university or vocational degree in Europe. Contributions into your DAF are eligible for tax deduction. Setting it up takes a few minutes. 2/4

I'm excited to share a new way to support Malengo students!

Through a new partnership with Neta (netafoundation.org), you can now invest in the success of @malengo.org students, and earn a return on your investment. 1/4

- So many job market candidates! We should come up with a system to choose between them that takes into account their full spectrum of qualities. As a discipline that prides itself on nuance and sophisticated measurement, along how many dimensions do you think we should rank them?

Yes, not to be confused with Hauptfeuerwehrmann, Brandoberinspektor, Hauptbrandmeister, Oberbrandmeister, Unterbrandmeister, and Feuerwehrmannanwärter, but it would be silly to introduce those before the 21+m book

Johannes Haushofer @johanneshaushofer.com · 12d
In some places, 18+m refers to the age in months at which the book is appropriate. In Germany it refers to the maximum number of letters per word

Great news on @malengo.org: With a new large investment from The Shapiro Foundation (theshapirofoundation.org), we'll be able to bring several hundred vocational training and university students from Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda to Europe over the coming years!

Ah interesting - I was told the results of my nomination this year, but not the reason (and I don’t think the candidate was either). Apart from that, JPAL is better in allowing self-nominations, but it’s bad that it’s been run by almost exactly the same people since inception.

The American Economic Association should select its president through an open election with multiple candidates.

NBER, BREAD, and JPAL should allow self-nominations for membership, rotate the committees that decide, and provide feedback to rejected applicants.
