@cblatts Its ability to manage local files is the main point to me. In a survey, it can automatize running high frequency checks, assign random spotchecks and backchecks, cleaning, analysis, etc., and even send emails to surveyors and PIs. Nice example here: https://t.co/TLxsCsSHl5

I am grateful to Professor Kalyvas, the discussant, and all participants for their thoughtful feedback and engaging questions. It was an inspiring opportunity to explore how these dynamics play out across Latin America and to connect with scholars from diverse backgrounds. (3/4)
Presenting my job market paper this week at the @Epsanet_org conference in Madrid: When Criminals Help the State: Winning Hearts and Minds through Public Services. I’ll be on the academic job market this fall, and I'm excited to share and discuss my work. Come and say hi!
This new working paper argues that female economics PhD students benefit tremendously from having female economics faculty around.
How do they back up this claim?
They look at the timing of sabbatical leaves.
When female professors go on leave, it decreases third-year female Ph.D. students’ likelihood of publishing papers and securing academic positions.
Male Ph.D. students in the same cohort benefit from this absence, seeing an increase in their publishing and placement prospects.
Their estimates imply that "one additional female senior professor in each top-50 economics department would close one-third of the gender gap in representation among assistant professors at top-25 schools."
En países como México, los cárteles dejan mensajes escritos junto a sus víctimas porque esperan que el mensaje sea multiplicado al ser publicado en medios. Por eso los medios Mexicanos acordaron no publicar esos textos para no visibilizar el mensaje de estos grupos. 2/2
My theory suggests that criminal groups are more likely to facilitate state service provision when the social capital they gain helps insulate them from state enforcement and financial constraints. Looking forward to the discussion. (3/3)
In this chapter, I draw on qualitative interviews with gang leaders and street-level bureaucrats in Medellín, Colombia, to develop a theory on why some criminal groups choose to help state actors in the areas they govern. (2/3)
