Wrapping up my 3-month research stay at the Economics Department of Royal Holloway, University of London, hosted by Prof. Juan Pablo Rud. I’m grateful to have met many friendly researchers and PhD fellows in such a supportive research environment. Thank you all!
Happy to have participated in the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Society of Economics of the Household (SEHO) in Zaragoza, Spain. Special thanks to J. Alberto Molina for the fantastic organization! Great to meet such friendly colleagues and survive the heatwaves together! #SEHO2025
Thanks @leightjessica for highlighting my research! Excited to have presented at the Economic Development in Africa Conference hosted by @Oxford_CSAE. Looking forward to contributing to discussions on gender inequalities & climate change adaptation in developing countries.
I had a fantastic time presenting my work at the Workshop on Gender Issues and Development 2024 organized by @UParisNanterre @EconomixU! It was great to spend time with @Camila1Cisneros , @zhou_joooooo , and many others in rainy Paris!
A new paper by researchers at Stanford takes on both the question of whether we are adapting to climate change and, indirectly, how we should measure such adaptation. @abehrer explains in today's blog. https://t.co/mUkch7Ms0G
I’m happy to have presented my paper, coauthored with Habiba Djebbari, on the impact of weather shocks on labor outcomes for women and men in Malawi at the 2024 @FAERE_Press annual conference in beautiful Strasbourg! #FAERE2024
Inequality isn't just about income and wealth.
It's also related to environmental factors.
Here's how poorer people are more impacted by heat-related deaths:
Workers in Mexico City reduce labor supply on high-pollution days and compensate by increasing working hours on subsequent days. Responses are stronger for richer workers and provide evidence of unequal avoidance behavior, Bridget Hoffmann & @juanpablorud https://t.co/JTQFQbWoKv
Fascinating webinar today w/researchers from @ifpri@worldbank@AletheiaDonald presenting new quantitative measure of time-use agency in Malawi incorporating satisfaction + ability to reallocate time
Climate change disproportionately affects the incomes of rural women, people living in poverty, and older populations, as their capacity to react and adapt to extreme weather events is unequal, finds the new @FAO Unjust Climate report.
