Ha-Joon Chang once told me that trying to learn about political economy and economic history in an economics department is like trying to learn about atheism in the Catholic church.

He captured how I had been feeling my entire undergrad, stuck in an economics department.

1/ How do climate shocks reshape lives inside households? 🏠🌍

My #JMP explores how climate shocks can change the way household members share resources, deepening intrahousehold inequalities. This has important implications for climate resilience and policy design.

I am now preparing some DiD lecture slides to give a talk at Amazon, and I have created this DiD Checklist.

I am sharing them here in case some of you find it useful!

[Abubakr Ayesh @abubakrayesh]

Pleased to share that my 2/3 chapter of my PhD dissertation is published. Using a DiD approach, I study the educational attainment of displaced children during the 1947 Partition of British India. More details here:

After some great commentary from Josh Lewis, we've got @abubakrayesh up talking about residential schools, the Indian Act, and assimilation (which is joint with @DonnFeir, @MaggieECJones, Samuel Shipley, and me).

@elben I'm glad to have this advice a few months ahead :)

Really happy to share that ⬇ paper with @AndrabiTahir @BauNatalie Jishnu Das & @aikhwaja has been accepted at @QJEHarvard! TLDR; Giving grants to public schools (in Pakistan) can improve learning in both sectors due to competition. Final paper here: https://t.co/E9BVbGYYhM.

Haven't been here since Twitter turned "X" but forthcoming in @JEEM_tweets is my work on ag fires, pollution & crime.

Using an IV based on wind direction, I find air pollution increases violent crime. Pollution's effect on men's labor market outcomes is an important mechanism.

@LahoreMarquez Just being a devil's advocate: on the other hand free secondary education does not help much either as this working paper shows:

I’m fairly fluent in English but I start struggling when I’m tired. Even after all these years of living abroad. Is ‘too tired to talk in English’ a thing with other non native speakers too?
