Right, final one from me, we are staying in Ethiopia (such joy!) with Tevin Tafese who is speaking on Industrial Parks and LLMs (that's local labour markets not large language models)

It's spatial, its FDI, its A LOT I love, so I am going to leave this and enjoy.

Oooh, found a presenter who made the @bsky.app transition, we return matching in Ethiopia with @marcjosefwitte.bsky.social.

I saw a co-author @cjm.bsky.social present this recently -- I won't say who I prefer (ofc). But the study is so rich, it is worth ingesting twice!

Ok now with Fadzayi Chingwere sharing their study on donations and tax incentives.

What I particularly enjoy is how Fadzayi set out their contribution wrt literature up front -- too many researchers (imo) skip over this 'due to time', and miss situating their work

First up is Deresse Fekadu Nigussie looking at job matching in Ethiopian Special Economic Zones.

A very cool experiment looking at different earning dynamics

(Why is it I choose to BlueSky on the sessions I am most interested in--thus having to multi-task argh!)

Takudzwa Mutize and their paper on South African intercity migration. Who needs coffee when you have this to start your day! 🤓
