Excited to share high-quality evidence from one of the very, very few trials ever conducted in this challenging context

New blog post! Hot-off-the-press evidence (from survey concluded 2 months ago): effectiveness of graduation model intervention targeting internally displaced households in Somalia @ifpri @ifpri.org @NKarachiwalla @kallehi.bsky.social <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jjkx4vjdxvuecbqrz2j3br4r" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky-mention">@meanregressive.bsky.social @meanregressive

This is the shortlist so far! Titles in bold are NBER WPs - I’m trying to balance WPs with already published influential work. Would love to include a qualitative/descriptive paper in there if possible. #EconSky

If I were trying to start an RA reading group in gender and development (broadly defined) and hoping to get a good mix of papers that represent the cutting edge in theory/methods/empirics, what are some papers that should absolutely be on that reading list? Grateful for ideas! #EconSky

Super excited to be working on this! Topic close to heart, scale up focused trial, and with a bonus opportunity to engage in French with colleagues

On the #EconJobMarket!

When does inflation increase slowly ("hump-shaped") vs rapidly? When do different drivers (wages, markups, etc) play bigger roles?

My #JMP explores these Qs by bringing a key variable back to the center of the debate: capacity utilization

A thread 🧵👇

The lack of precision and consistency with ChatGPT is a real problem. I’m constantly impressed by how many specialized data tasks it’s able to do, but I can never seem to rely on it to really read through something carefully or make its work reproducible.

For once my procrastination has paid off. I kept putting off really mastering Latex, and now with ChatGPT, have been able to submit two Math assignments just directly translating photos of hand-written calculations to Latex code very quickly and with minimal corrections.

I’ve been a #ChatGPT plus (GPT-4) user since March and it’s been a game changer in accelerating my French and coding skills.

I have two referral codes for anyone who wants a free trial of the paid version (a world apart from the free v3.5 IMO).
