Blog is here, paper will follow in early 2025: www.ifpri.org/blog/g...
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 @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
This is so cool! Congratulations to Amir - what a great reason to be recognized! 🎉
Fascinating paper! Caught my eye for personal reasons. I was the de facto teacher for a couple of subjects in my high school while the actual teacher caught up on grading! 😁 It was a fun “job”, and I ended up doing really well on the national board exams. Good to see this work at scale!
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.
Everything you mention is a challenge. Working in teams where people may have different preferences makes it hard to agree on and enforce consistency. Practical guidance on how to convince and encourage people to take reproducibility seriously from the start of research projects would be useful!
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).
