Very excited for this 🚨NBER Working Paper 🚨with @pbiscaye, @stevepuller, and the ever-twitterless Catherine Wolfram. Many governments subsidize electricity 💡 during economic crises. What does this actually look like in practice? A 🧵on distributional concerns in Ghana:

Disbursing crisis relief through utilities can be fast and efficient, but careful implementation is required to avoid regressive impacts and imperfect targeting, from @BerkouwerS, @pbiscaye, Steven L. Puller, and Catherine Wolfram nber.org/papers/w28818

Today we @TAMU hosted a virtual conference for high school guidance counselors to discuss what economics is really about, why it's a great major and what kinds of jobs it leads to. The workshop was led by Asst Dept Head Kurt Felpel, Prof @danilaserra_eco, and Prof Jonathan Meer

How much do pre-docs provide mobility between undergrad state schools and top PhD programs? Does pr(admission) at top PhD programs go up significantly if the smart state school student pre-docs? If admission committees behave this way, shouldn't we let students have this chance?

I’m seeing lots of ads from faculty in top/rich Econ departments this week hiring full-time pre-docs. You sure you all can’t just admit these talented students into your PHD programs, let them train and coauthor with you, and get on with their adult/professional lives? 🤷‍♀️

Are natural resources a blessing or curse for economic development? See @robmun12's JMP thread to find out! Personal note: Roberto has been an absolute pleasure to advise (w/ @stevepuller) and it's amazing that he has 3 great papers as a 4th year student.

At #SEA2018, I presented my JMP "A Blessing or a Curse? The Long-term Effect of Resource Booms on Human Capital and Living Conditions." A long-standing question in development economics is if resource abundance is a blessing or a curse for a country (Sachs and Warner, 1999).
