Really amazing work from UCSDEcon (Vinny Armentano 📈, Paul Niehaus, & Tom Vogl) on poverty declines in 5 major economies since 1990. The most shocking fact (IMO) is the rate of decline in poverty from families that stay in agriculture.

I am on the job market, and Francesco Amodeo wrote a generous post about my work. He's a smart and insightful colleague, and I am glad for his support. Is it cheap talk? If interested, take a look at giampaolobonomi.com/research and form your own opinion!
