UVA Batten is hiring for a social entrepreneurship non-tenure track faculty position. I am told SE will be interpreted relatively broadly--Development economists working on entrepreneurship should apply! https://t.co/pqSKIkb9bK

@4th_tutor @_f4rth It's not impossible, but somewhat unlikely. Visa sponsorship is administratively challenging and since the position is expected to be 1-3 years, it may be hard to get visa sponsorship for this position.

We are hiring for a new Associate Director for the Center for Social Innovation (we are basically looking for an Economics predoc that wants to spend 1-2 years in the position). Please let your students know in case they are interested! https://t.co/h5aiQD3tBb

VoxDev just published a blog post on a project that I have been working on with Joe Kaboski, Virgiliu Midrigan, and Carolyn Pelnik--we show that the elasticity of supply of investment goods matters a lot for the impact of increased access to finance in alleviating poverty traps.

[VoxDev @vox_dev]

Grants & finance in #Uganda alleviate poverty traps associated with lumpy investments, but the impact depends on investment good supply.

My research with Laura Schechter on mobile money and savings for sanitation is now featured on VoxDev!

[VoxDev @vox_dev]

Evidence from mental accounting nudges in Dakar suggests companies should explore using mobile money savings technologies to market their services and increase their competitiveness
