Not quite sure how to put it all in words, but I just spent an extraordinary day celebrating my dissertation adviser, Larry Katz. Feeling grateful, proud, and (re-) inspired.

Larry has raised so many extraordinary economists that being in the same room as them was overwhelming.

Discussing my recent paper on women's employment in Egypt (w/Stefano Caria, Bruno Crepon, & Abdelrahman Nagy), @kbeegle.bsky.social asks whether the constraint on women's employment is "norms v. something else, or just more norms?" Check out her great blog! blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

Today's article presents the child penalty in employment – i.e. how much the birth of a first child impacts the employment of mothers relative to fathers - for 134 countries around the world ⤵️

This year we posted 26 #econjmp posts by PhD students on the market. Here is the list of all of them in case you missed any, plus a link to the @econthatmatters.bsky.social series which has some more - great to see all the exciting work in development blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

Even better (for our own knowledge spillovers / economies of agglomeration) if we all coordinate on a few other hotels! #EconSky:

I’ll be at Hotel Spero, which is also where the #LERA meetings have been moved to
