I am very happy that the paper "The value of managers' export experience: lessons from the Angolan civil war" has found its home at the @restatjournal!! #EconTwitter
What it is about? A short ๐งต follows
"Managers' export experience doubles the chance of starting to export after the sudden end of the Angolan war." Just Accepted new paper by Luca David Opromolla @LucaOpromolla, Alessandro Sforza @alesforza87, and Giordano Mion https://t.co/1eQTMz8dOB
Seven years after we started collecting the data, I'm very happy to see this paper finally out! I hope the dataset proves useful to researchers interested in the development of the U.S. federal state.

@FlorianOswald@carlogalli6 Because of that chart, yesterday I went reading the paper. I still haven't figured if the change in trend for Italy after 2000 is mainly because of:
(i) a (negative) productivity shock
(ii) (out)migration
(iii) policies?
Measuring is cool, but then -> why Italy is diverging?
