(1/2) Measuring global GDP is challenging, especially in middle- and low-income countries where reliable statistics are scarce.

In new research, @HansbergRossi combines nighttime lights, land use, emissions, and a random forest model to estimate subnational GDP.

I love being a PhD student.

it feels like I’m expected to be miserable or overwhelmed.

but as a first-gen student, I’ve had to overcome a lot worse to get here.

to read and write and learn for a living feels like a gift that I hope I never take for granted, inshallah 🙏🏽

Today's reminder that economics can be used to understand a lot more than the stock market!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

During the twentieth century, women’s education levels continuously increased, and in most high-income countries they are now substantially higher than for men. Claudia Goldin – awarded the 2023 prize in economic sciences – demonstrated that access to the contraceptive pill played an important role in accelerating this revolutionary change by offering new opportunities for career planning.

“I have always thought of myself as a detective! The detective always believes there is a way of finding the answer and that is the way I have always done research.”

We spoke to Claudia Goldin after she received the news about her 2023 prize in economic sciences.

``Can indirect taxes help reduce inequality in developing countries?
Accounting for the informal sector makes consumption taxes progressive, but widespread tax exemptions on necessity goods (food) regressive.''

[Anjali Adukia @aadukia]

Representation is said to matter, but I didn't see myself in the world around me growing up.

Whom did I see? With whom was I supposed to identify? What about my children? And what about in children's books? What do children see? How to measure it?
