I have on occasion found working papers posted on researchgate that were useful. That one is the more predatory.

So we just took $15 billion from American kids to send $20 billion to Milei's Argentinean rock concert: America first, right?! Only makes sense when you factor in that the $20 billion will go to making American billionaires ever greater....

Klein is often this way: he invites someone for an "interview" so that he can speak. To be fair, occasionally he make good points; and then of course there are many times he needs to learn to be quiet.

There it is, sorry! And thanks for sending the quote; hopefully social scientists can figure out how to make the most of cash transfers in diverse contexts.

I saw a wp dated 2012, so I was envisioning a 13 year process... glad to hear it's not quite that bad!

Congratulations again on the paper! Just out of curiosity, I think I see versions online that date back quite a while. How long did it take for this very cool experiment to get accepted? Was there substantial change to the paper? Looking for a story to tell my Master's students about the process...

I'm looking at agricultural productivity in Cambodia and everyone is pretending financial inclusion will increase productivity....
Is your published version quite different from the 2021 working paper? I hope not since I don't have access to REStat!
Regardless congratulations on a huge success!

Texts of Terror by Phyllis Trible is a little book that works through several of them. Unfortunately I have heard that Trible herself was rather terrible, stealing the work of many of her students; still, the work covers many rough passages so it might be an easy way to organize your study

Thanks for sending this! Every once in awhile I'm tempted to go back to the NYT but pieces like this remind me what a ridiculous organization this is.

She makes good points but the fix isn't simple: I think she says to include demographic and earnings profiles of hh members "as done in [the two attached articles]" documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/1... openknowledge.worldbank.org/server/api/c...

All I read is how Kendrick destroyed Drake, calling him a pedophile in front of 100 million people on the Super Bowl stage, but when I ask my students for music requests I get all kinds of Drake and no Kendrick. What am I missing? Kendrick's artistry is astounding, but I guess Drake is still catchy!

Thanks for your thoughts, and I'm glad to know the data is out there somewhere. My main concern is how much potential there is for the data to be abused: I know they always nominally randomize but if household level info can be backed out, I second your desire to impose restrictions....
