Formal property ownership may not empower women unless it is recognized by women themselves and those around them. In her JMP, Akanksha (Akanksha Vardani) runs a field experiment in rural Maharashtra where despite women being homeowners, only 26\% are aware of their rights.

In her JMP, Victoria Mooers shows that when voters' social networks are more within their U.S. congressional districts, they know more about their representatives, vote more in House elections, and donate more to candidates from their own district.

In his JMP, Matthew Davis links two of the 21st century's defining challenges: climate change and economic inequality. Applying semi-parametric methods to global income data, he documents new evidence that temperature shocks persistently exacerbate inequality within countries.

1/ 🤔Ever wondered if pairing socially isolated students with popular peers helps or hurts their outcomes? My job market paper explores this through a large-scale RCT across Indian schools. Thread below 🧵 #EconTwitter #EconJobMarket #JMP

I am on the Job Market! In my JMP, I study optimal capital controls considering previously overlooked effects on investment and productivity using a sufficient statistic approach Estimating productivity losses using microdata, I find that capital flows should be incentivized 🧵

Excellent post from Tim Hirschel-Burns for anyone, like me, totally confused and looking to sort through the immoral, and illegal attack on USAID timhirschelburns.substack.com/p/yes-what-mus…

Noteworthy that thousands of people who have dedicated their life to serving the global poor are getting laid off en masse and the only person the Vice President JD Vance has expressed empathy for is the guy who got canned for saying I Am A Racist!

Why should U.S. taxpayers pay for things like PEPFAR, or the Demographic Health Surveys, or high drug prices that subsidize medical research for the whole world? Because we are far richer than anyone else in the world, and the way the world works now is really really good for

This is a genuine policy catastrophe that will have generational consequences, voluntarily enacted by people who know better, allowed by Congress because it’s afraid to say no, all because the Republican Party is organized around the principle of “Daddy Trump is never wrong”

The damage from instability itself will be enormous... imagine running a business and trying to make any decision in this environment. Congress must take back the power to tariff

While Trump is a moron, JD Vance and his type are truly despicable He knows full well what he’s doing, and decided the risk of global catastrophe, and the dead people already in his wake is worth the pursuit of power. It’s just cruel

I think it's the first time I've heard why Trump think trade deficits are bad. He thinks we're buying "junk". Putting aside how stupidly wrong he is, since when do people like being treated like kids, told they're buying the wrong things like... toys? and... pencils?

Started work on this in 2017 (as an RA) and finally excited to see it out in the world! I’m grateful that working with this team was my first full engagement with economics, it taught me how truly broad the field can be

This is a problem with big bumbling bills in general. Even if BBB sets fire to the country, it’s hard to argue a simple causal pathway in a 30-second ad We would be so much better off if politicians were actually held accountable for the things they do
