thanks so much for highlighting my work @leightjessica.bsky.social! 🙏

🚨New @nber.org WP🚨
We use data on 42,000 households in #India to study how the agricultural sector copes w/ labour loss. As #farmers move to cities for higher wages, their left-behind families *don't* substitute with increased capital -- they downsize their farms. (1/2)

Happy my JMP is (finally) coming out! The JAERE review process was wonderful and improved the paper a lot. Thank you to all who helped see this project through.

So proud to have co-organized this rally, w/ inspiring + brave speeches from @tedmiguel.bsky.social, @fdoperez.bsky.social, @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social+20 more and 1000+ attendees!

Excited to start the year off sharing some memes made by my students in Intro Econometrics for extra credit on their final. The prompt is to make a meme about an econometrics concept, and then explain to me, as if I am your less econometrically savvy relative, why the meme works.

Last semester I prepped a PhD course on environment & development econ. All material is available on my github. Hope it's helpful!

If you have suggestions (papers to cover, topics to include, etc), please let me know.

Thank you to those who provided reference material to build the course.

Planning your climate or environment syllabus? I like to show short videos so students & I can visualize some of the things we're talking about. Here are some of the ones I like:
