Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the women; you are incredible, strong, bold, beautiful, inspiring. @UN_Women
Women-led development is the need of the hour to achieve SDG 5.
'Empower women, educate men' to change patriarchal gender norms & roles.

#NFHS-5 had highlighted improvements in SRB and even reported that women outnumbered men nationally. The omission of these crucial indicators from #NFHS-6 raises important questions about transparency & accountability. Why hide such vital information from the public? @IIPSMumbai
The omission of key indicators like the Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) & overall sex ratio — critical measures of gender inequality & son preference — from the #NFHS-6 fact sheet is a matter of serious concern.
Hiding data doesn't fix deep rooted bias or evidence-based policy-making.
Our paper “Difference-in-Differences Designs: A Practitioner’s Guide” is now published in the Journal of Economic Literature. It took us a while but we are happy!
We put together a lot of material to make the paper useful in practice: https://t.co/30TbAgihlz
Hope you like!
#Opinion | In contrast to India’s national sex ratio at birth, #Odisha tells a starkly different story. Odisha remains the only state to have experienced a decline in SRB between 2015 & 2022

Read my op-ed (with U.S. Mishra) in @ttindia today. We highlight Odisha’s declining sex ratio at birth & reflect on the policy failures of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.
Reversal needs sustained community engagement, strict PCPNDT enforcement, & accountability.

India, especially Odisha, must go beyond hollow slogans to address its skewed sex ratio, write Amresh Senapati and Udaya Shankar Mishra.

#TheRealFertilityCrisis isn’t about choosing to have 1 or 2 children — it’s about being heard.
People across the world, including #AsiaPacific, face real barriers: gender norms, care burdens and lack of support.
💡 Policies must respond to what limits choices — not population numbers or fertility rates.

Education in Crisis!
New: Single-Teacher Primary Schools (STePS) Report.
1 in 3 schools in Jharkhand runs with just one teacher! This ruins children’s future, esp. those from marginalised communities. Link to report below.

Teacher's teacher, former #DSE Director, and our beloved Prof KL Krishna receiving @PadmaAward A very good choice by the jury and the government, and a moment of pride for the @DelhiSchoolOfEC community @rashtrapatibhavan @PMOIndia
📈Thanks everyone for the amazing response to my first post!
I've uploaded the second stats lab with R for beginners on my webpage.
The topic is "What Does It Mean to “Control” in Regression Analysis?"

Survey research within economics has been gaining momentum. One key criticism that will eventually arise with such studies is that stated preferences do not always map onto revealed preferences. The contingent valuation literature grappled with this issue decades ago.
The good news is that some earlier work took this issue on and found supportive results for surveys. For example, one important result that we found is that there is no evidence of hypothetical bias when estimating marginal attribute values: https://t.co/IozGIwiCsb
This is a crucial result because if it holds broadly, it gives much more credibility to this style of research.
Prof KL Krishna awarded Padma Shri. Many of you may not know him, but every student who has studied at the Delhi School of Economics in the last six decades admires him - for his knowledge & self-effacing humility. We are very proud of you KLK!
I'm glad to know that economist Prof. K.L. Krishna has been awarded the #PadmaShriAward for his contributions to literature and education.
A well-deserved award to the passionate and inspiring teacher who has taught many generations at DSE and produced numerous brilliant minds.
Heartfelt tribute to the economist and politician Dr. Manmohan Singh, the architect of India's economic reforms 1991.
@CdsTrivandrum library display publication of Dr. Singh. His work on India's Export Trends and Prospects is worth reading (It made my day).
#DrManmohanSingh 💙💙
#ManmohanSingh, a distinguished economist, played a pivotal role in sustaining the nation’s economy, particularly during the economic crisis of the 2000s. Here is a brief timeline of his illustrious career:
