We started working on this in 2015, and now it's finally out in the Journal of Development Economics (and it's open access!): My paper with @MoradiAlexander on "Regional Market Integration in #EastAfrica".

I agree with the June 8 Economist that productivity is the central issue-hence https://t.co/h15OAAFuj7. But informality is the RESULT of weak modern sector dynamism, and that's where we have to focus.

[Jorge Garcia Hombrados @jorgeghombrados]

La academia en España se pudre, pero no por el uso de rankings internacionales.

Lo hace principalmente por la falta de incentivos hacia una investigación de excelencia, los bajos salarios, la burocracia infinita y la rigidez de los procedimientos.

Urban centers in Colombia generate 92% of all formal waged jobs, which only a few people living there have access to. Despite the low odds of securing a job there, rural workers continue to flock to urban areas, acc. blog by @ElianaCarranza @EberhardRuiz

Have you ever seen the Distribution of #marathon Finishing Times (n=9,789,093)?

[Ian Walker @IanWalker_Jobs]

Colombians with sec. education earn =>30% than those who only went to primary school, are 1.5 times more likely to have a waged job. But the Colombia JD report points to continued vulnerability for both types of workers. Check out this blog to learn more

Colombia is shifting from manufacturing into services at a relatively low income level. In a new Jobs Diagnostic for Colombia, @ElianaCarranza @EberhardRuiz et al argue that policies should promote higher productivity jobs in both sectors.

An interview with me just published with the provocative title “don’t fixate on smallholders’.

I tend to get a bit carried away on this topic, and in trouble.

A short thread - do read the thread to the end, there is a twist. 1/9

The economic literature on the effect of conflict on social capital generally finds contradicting results. (1/8)

[Andreas Eberhard-Ruiz @EberhardRuiz]

Great discussion today on the drivers and policy responses to migration from Latin America and the Caribbean at the #jobs4dev conference with @CABEI_Org, @USAID and @WorldBank.
See our recent blog post speaking precisely to this topic. https://t.co/HIeeWULRy8

Guatemala’s migration crisis is rooted in the lack of education and job opportunities for rural youth. Insightful blog by @WBG_Jobs colleague @EberhardRuiz et al on how #BetterJobs policies can help.
