@a_peterman IPUMS will only grant access if DHS has already granted access... Tricky. I'll reach out to you via email!

[Lindsey Novak @LindseyKNovak]

Do you have access to the DHS data from Indonesia, and are you willing to share it? Or do you know of anyone who has compiled all DHS data since the site is not taking requests for new data users?

On the last day of 2023 #EconTwitter, highlighting my top 10 development papers (in dev journals) of the year! I love reading the fabulous research published in general interest journals, but here's your regular reminder there's much to learn outside the top 5 (or 10). . .

ICYMI: On average, families are less likely to cut girls if there are economic downturns, but there is heterogeneity in responses to economic shocks.

@_alice_evans My impression is that women's consent in bride kidnappings varies substantially across settings. Among the Nuer and Anuak in Ethiopia, for example, is mostly consensual to reduce bride price. WP paper with @LindseyKNovak on the topic using qual and quant methods coming out soon!

@sinafikeh Congratulations!! Very exciting news!
