Do you do research on Indonesia? Here is my code for merging the 1993–2014 waves of the village census (PODES):

A little rant about American universities, in the light on the recent Congressional testimony debacle:
Today I learned that Harvard President Claudine Gay seems to have published only 11 peer-reviewed journal papers in her entire academic career.
'So what?', you might ask.
Well, that's about the number you'd normally need to get hired as a first-year tenure-track assistant professor at a decent state university.
It's the number I published in the 12 months before I got tenure.
It's about the number that my more workaholic colleagues publish every year, decade after decade, throughout their careers.
And it's less than 1% as many papers as get published by outstanding researchers like behavior geneticist Nick Martin (with over 1,500 journal papers).
The situation at Harvard is not unusual. The leaders of academia are not typically leading academics, in the sense of highly productive researchers or widely respected teachers.
One might say they are career bureaucrats - but that would misunderstand their crucial ideological function.
The American people need to understand that in modern universities, both public and private, administrators function more like party political officers in communist Russian or Chinese universities. They are selected, throughour their careers, largely for their political commitments, and their willingness to enforce them. Like Cold War commissars, their allegiance is to the party, not to academia where they happen to work.
I mean 'party' quite literally: the Democratic party. Most American university administrators are loyal Democrats, and can't really imagine why anyone wouldn't be. Very few are Republicans or Libertarians.
And an increasing proportion of them are fully woke identitarian Leftists: they often launched their careers with a short series of papers on woke topics, using woke ideological frameworks, published in woke journals - before turning to the administrative track that offers much more political power to propagandize, indoctrinate, and control.
'So what?', you're might ask.
I've seen many calls for university administrators to enforce the rules of classical liberalism and free speech more fairly. This is like asking a Soviet-era commissar to abandon their Communist party allegiance, and to develop an entirely new identity and ethos grounded in an ideology that they have spent their entire career fighting.
It will not happen. Political animals do not change their spots.
University presidents who have prioritized amassing ideological power over producing academic research will not suddenly rediscover the merits of open inquiry.
They need to be fired, and replaced with academic leaders who are actually leading academics - rather than party political officers.

1/8. A point which is often lost in discussions of inflation and central bank policy. Inflation is fundamentally the outcome of the distributional conflict, between firms, workers, and taxpayers. It stops only when the various players are forced to accept the outcome.

While Indonesia is sure to be rocked by global economic waves in months to come, it may not be as affected as other Asian powerhouses South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan - whose economies are far more dependent on exports (article in Indonesian)
1. Mungkin ada yg tak sependapat dg saya, tapi inilah sikap saya sbg Club Madura Utd FC atas Tragedy di Kanjuruhan,
a. Hentikan Kompetisi, sampai ada statement resmi FIFA.
b. PSSI wajib bertanggung jawab, dan semua pengurusnya harus Mundur. Sbg respect thd korban & keluarganya.
Dear FIFA, Cancel Indonesia as the organizer of the U-20 World Cup and sanction PSSI according to FIFA statutes. We no longer trust @PSSI. They are amateurs. Give severe sanctions for Indonesian football. We are ashamed and hurt. @jokowi@DPR_RI

Tingginya ICP dan pelemahan kurs dijelaskan penyebab bengkaknya subsidi dan kompensasi BBM. Seolah akan menjebol APBN 2022. Padahal dokumen Nota Keuangan dan APBN 2022 telah membuat simulasi tentang kedua faktor itu. Pendapatan justru bertambah lebih besar dibandingkan belanja.
