Legendary economist Esther Duflo received an honorary degree at Williams College at this year's graduation - we were delighted to welcome here at our Center for Development Economics, where @owenozier.bsky.social moderated a discussion with her and our CDE Fellows, thesis students, and faculty.

Time for our dept's annual entry into the @econ5k.bsky.social group category! With @dbergstresser.bsky.social, @owenozier.bsky.social, Pam Jakiela, and Jon Bakija, what we lack in number of participants this year we make up for in style!
Four runners crossing a street at a crosswalk, looking astonishingly like the Beatles. The sky is blue and it is cold out. The map of the running route, from Strava or something like it.

You already know we have prize-winning economists in our department. Our latest accolade: Owen Thompson's English bulldog Charlie won Best Medium Dog in the annual Williamstown Reindog Parade!
A street scene, with a guy (Owen Thompson) holding a big "Best Medium Dog" sign, a young girl (Charlie's sister), and Charlie the English bulldog wearing her prize-winning outfit: antlers and a red vest with a tiny Santa riding on her back!
