Our work suggests it’s possible indeed! From back of the envelope calculations: even if @LiberalPH did the door-to-door policy messaging in just 10% of the electorate in 2019, the top #OtsoDiretso candidate @bamaquino would have been elected 🇵🇭

[Maria Carmen (Ica) Fernandez @icafernandez]

Here’s an interesting @nberpubs response from @cesicruz @jblabonne @xftrebbi - perhaps yes, but the (positive) door-to-door information campaign starts NOW.

@max_kwiek @grattonecon @poleconuk_w Yes! For the talk acknowledgments I gave a shout out to our lovely campus security folks who let me into the building 🤣

Miss you all! Hope to join more of the talks now that I’m not teaching this quarter!

[Guillem Riambau-Armet @griambau]

Along with @risa_toha and Steve Oliver we hosted the 2018 Asia @SEAREG_ conference at @yalenus (such a wonderful and productive community!)

Many to tag here: @KaiOstwald @TomPepinsky @a2hicken @cesicruz @dramyhliu @ElvinOngPolSci and a long looong loooooong etc

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

@k_sonin @keithschnak That you don’t understand one of @keithschnak’s jokes is actually a sign of intelligence and good taste, friend!

I was deeply ashamed that I understood it myself 🤣

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

@florianederer This is glorious, friend 😍😍😍

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

Congratulations @NathanPengtrell! We are so very proud of you!

Thanks also to our amazing external reviewer @a2hicken, whose suggestions were so insightful and constructive that our university examiner and chair made a point of it during the defense ❤️

[Nathan Peng Li @NathanPengtrell]

Happy to say I successfully defended my dissertation on the political economy of aid, influence, and poverty reduction in SEA today.

Very grateful to @KaiOstwald @cesicruz @nujoaixil for their excellent guidance and support. I could not have hoped for a better committee.

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

@keithschnak It’s hard not to at least shoulder check you when I see you. You’ve just got that “bully me” vibe, sorry I don’t make the rules

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

@keithschnak @hjghassell You can save me time by leaving the weights on after your last set so I can warm up with your max 💪

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

This. 🔥

[Rafe Meager (they/them) @economeager]

Really amazing how mental health is a concern some people selectively trot out to shield perpetrators of bad behavior from accountability, but somehow never comes up when evaluating the impact of their behavior on the people they’ve targeted for harassment and abuse

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

@keithschnak What can I say? I'm here for you AND fake you

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

Heading to Boston for @nberpubs SI (between @UCLA @USC @Caltech, this plane is full of economists 🤣)

Looking forward to catching up with my political economy fam and hope to meet some of my #EconTwitter besties in person ❤️
