Associate Prof at the University of Washington -- I study gender and labor markets in developing countries, and ways to empower women in the developing world!

[Rachel Heath @rachelmheath]

@Val_Mueller_ASU @FabioGhironi Yes, seconding the support coming from north of you! I'm so sorry to hear that they aren't recognizing your worth!

[Rachel Heath @rachelmheath]

@g_borker Ah that's such a nice adjective, thanks Girija! (p.s. I owe you a proper catch-up since I didn't make it to Delhi...)

A wonderful team of Co-editors and I worked on this VoxDevLit on the determinants of Women's Labor Force Participation. Information on the launch event is below.

[VoxDev @vox_dev]

📢 On Wednesday, February 28th, we are releasing Issue 1 of our new #VoxDevLit on Female Labour Force Participation.

This review summarises evidence on the barriers constraining women's labour supply in LMICs & the impacts of policies aiming to increase women’s labour supply.

I am looking for a full-time RA to help me to manage 2 large scale field experiments that I currently have ongoing or will have ongoing in #Bangladesh in the next several months. There will also be data cleaning and analysis in Stata. Apply: https://t.co/a4TXFhT88v. #EconTwitter

@bijurao @eeshani_kandpal Looks great; I think will fit in the module about political economy, broadly defined. Thank you, both!

[Rachel Heath @rachelmheath]

Realizing I need short videos to perk up my economics of gender undergrad class. 5 to 10 minutes ideal, though longer could work too. Any suggestions? Self promotion encouraged :)

[Rachel Heath @rachelmheath]

@WillGochberg Ooh, perfect addition to the labor market discrimination module -- it's not just about employers! Thanks, Will!

@Val_Mueller_ASU @midwestjoyce @ZOEconomy @eeshani_kandpal @agnesquis @MackenzieAlsto4 @johannarickne @nataliaordaz @kkoutout @tavares_mm @analisapackham @mdoepke Awesome, thanks Val! This is perfect because I'd love to do a bit more stuff on legal rights/issues too.

@midwestjoyce @ZOEconomy @eeshani_kandpal @Val_Mueller_ASU @agnesquis @MackenzieAlsto4 @johannarickne @nataliaordaz @kkoutout @tavares_mm @analisapackham @mdoepke Thanks, Joyce! And thank you also for sharing your experience for that piece; so important to highlight these disparities and give them a face.

[Rachel Heath @rachelmheath]

@KhoaVuUmn @eeshani_kandpal @econimate Thank you, this looks perfect!

COVID-19 management is a failure at the national level, but please do know that state, local, & institutional officials are working their tails off right now. At my shop, it's a 24/7 operation, with a command central, updates multiple times/ day & tremendously adaptive protocols.

I'm doubly biased because he's both my spouse and co-author, but applied micro-economists -- reach out to @tylermccormick if you have an interesting project that could benefit from collaboration with a statistician!

[tyler mccormick @tylermccormick]

@FKondylis Thanks for a great framing and overview of recent work on sampled networks using household surveys (and flattered to have our work included)! @rachelmheath @emilybreza

[Rachel Heath @rachelmheath]

Lelys is doing very interesting and important work on violence in Central America -- I'm excited to listen!

[Lelys Dinarte-Diaz @ile_din]

It’s out! Thanks @ProbCausation for inviting me to talk about my research on violence prevention in Central America!

[Dr. Lisa D. Cook @drlisadcook]

A must-read by @Stanford undergrads Armelle Grondin & Ana Carolina Queiroz. They find the share of Black women is declining in their econ classes over time. And they ask why: https://t.co/XBhgHyjRwr. Kudos to them for raising the question & seeking answers like good economists!

[David Evans @DaveEvansPhD]

I had to re-write the introduction to a paper, so I diagrammed the introductions of a bunch of development papers in top economics journals.

This is what I learned: "How to Write the Introduction of Your Development Economics Paper."

@a_peterman summarizes the qualitative companion paper to the Heath, Hidrobo and Roy JDE 2019 paper. It was wonderful to work on a quantitative project with a strong qualitative component, and I view @IFPRI (and collaborators) as a leader in this.

[Amber Peterman @a_peterman]

Hot-off-the press: @Shelleylees @Nambusi & @IFPRI @PIM_CGIAR colleagues [not on twitter] lift the curtain on #CashTransfers to men in #Mali 🇲🇱, exploring narratives around #gender & #IPV using qualitative methods THREAD 1/n👉🏽 https://t.co/4WBhH4OZ0m

@laurakhuber @ekfletch @a_peterman @shreyaseedas @womenalsoknow @POCalsoknow @z_marks @WomenforWomen Thanks Erin and Amber! Yes, @M_Angeluc and I are evaluating WfWI's women's economic empowerment and men's engagement programs in eastern DRC. Happy to chat more.
