Will I get a good income out of doing a PhD? Of course not.
But will I at least also find a stable job that allows me to pursue my research? Also no.
But will I at least be happy doing what I like? Hahaha also no.
Sounds terrible. Where do one sign up?
I can highly recommend reading @nvasilenok JMP "Reading Orwell in Moscow", which is a terrifically original project on how citizens are changing their reading habits in light of the war with Ukraine.

We usually rely on GDP, trade, or wages to study the past. This paper flips the script.
It analyzes 630,000 paintings (1400-2000) with machine learning to extract emotions and shows how art tracks living standards, wars, inequality, and even climate shocks.
The conceit of this article is, at some level, "old GDP data is worse quality than people think" but I sort of think that the average person would have a positive surprise if they read about how 0 AD GDP is estimated?
Aspirasi masyarakat menjadi prioritas yang akan terus kami sampaikan pada Pemerintah. Semoga tidak ada jembatan yang terputus dalam upaya ini. Watch now:

Demonstrasi yang terjadi ialah akumulasi kekecewaan dari berbagai faktor, di antaranya dari ketimpangan kesejahteraan, kebijakan yang kurang relevan dengan realitas, hingga tantangan dalam distribusi dana dan pajak.
Pemerintah tidak seharusnya terlalu bergantung pada data statistik makro. Misalnya, meskipun angka pengangguran dilaporkan menurun, faktanya PHK masih terjadi di banyak sektor. Klaim penurunan angka kemiskinan pun perlu dilihat secara lebih menyeluruh.
Di podcast ini, para peneliti LPEM FEB UI, Chaikal Nuryakin, Ph.D., @Chaikal_N Jahen Fachrul Rezki, Ph.D., @jahenfr Mohamad Dian Revindo, Ph.D.,Teguh Dartanto, Ph.D., @TeguhDartanto dan Vid Adrison, Ph.D., mengulas respons, penyebab, dan saran mitigasi agar setidaknya dapat meredam gejolak.
Kami menekankan pentingnya kebijakan konkret yang berdampak langsung, aspirasi rakyat yang inklusif, serta keputusan berbasis bukti (evidence-based policy), sehingga tujuan kesejahteraan dapat tercapai bagi seluruh masyarakat.

Causal inference is all the rage.
But good descriptive research is vital.
This new article lays out an argument for what makes good descriptive research.
🆕 How economists are using new data sources in development economics
Research on @vox_dev draws on a variety of data sources - satellites, phones, leaks & more.
In this blog, I highlight what we learn about development from these novel data sources: https://t.co/l3P5Rk71fm
Economists have gotten a lot better at doing econometrics. We now cluster our standard errors, and don’t falsely reject the null as often. At the same time, by raising the bar for significance, we actually exacerbate publication bias! So which prevails? 1/
I love watching women's soccer, but we absolutely should not be blind to the fact that there are simply tremendous physical differences between male and female athletes.
I applaud Switzerland for doing this test.
Gaduh-gaduh soal nikel di Raja Ampat: Hasil analisis pelacakan ribuan kapal saya lakukan, semua hasil nikel2 itu pergi ke smelter yg ada di Weda, Halmahera. Yg dapat untung juga tentunya banyak. Jadi jangan kaget 🤟
Indonesia tidak memiliki jaminan sosial bagi semua lansia. Semua negara ASEAN lainnya memilikinya. Jika Pemerintah mengalokasikan 120 triliun rupiah, semuanya akan menerima 500.000 rupiah setiap bulan. Ini masalah prioritas.

one reason why the indonesian economy has been so resilient is that below a certain scale, the State lets people be and they operate under a practically free-market regime with virtually zero taxes and little-to-no regulations
