The return of Cafe Salemba, a hugely influential blog for FEUI students at the time, takes me back to an old blog a few friends and I kept years ago, with @fikfik_fab and @rizkisiregar https://t.co/p0PH88euSD. It was fun!

This article is full of wild facts. For example, Jakarta recently overtook Tokyo as the world's largest city but has 6 train lines and 250 miles of track vs Tokyo's 158 lines and 2,930 miles

🚨Replication alert🚨
I'm pleased to announce that my replication of Moretti (2021) is now accepted as a comment at AER.

I find ten issues in the paper. My comment focuses on two major problems; in the appendix, I document eight (relatively) minor problems.

A Korean friend says SKY grads (SNU–Korea–Yonsei) had such an edge that Korea pushed “blind hiring” especially in the public sector, where applications often omit/forbid school names to reduce pedigree bias.

Just read about Suneung - the South Korean SAT which decides the college a kid will attend. And my goooodddd, it's crazy!
- 9 hour exam (wtf??)
- 500K+ testers every year

But the crazy part begins here...
- Entire nation goes into a soft lockdown on day of exam
- Offices open late, stock market opens late, so that roads are clear for student to reach exam centre on time
- If any student is running late, police will pick you up, blast a siren and get them there on time
- Traffic around test centres is blocked. No honking allowed
- All construction work is stopped on that day

And the craziest part....
- There is a 20-30 minute audio portion in the exam. No planes are allowed to take-off or land during that time to avoid noise

2. i cant find things about jakarta in BARTLETT LIBRARY

Mungkin khalayak tidak kenal ekonom Dr Sudarno Sumarto (@SMERUInstitute) krn ybs dan lembaganya terlalu humble utk pamer.
Beliau akan bicara di Mubyarto Public Policy Forum di @feb_ugm ttg pengentasan kemiskinan di Indonesia selama 20 tahun terakhir.

Yes, Jakarta is sinking, but many, even college-educated ones, remain unaware! My coauthors and I just released a paper examining whether religion or science (which messenger and which narrative) more effectively warn Jakartans and makes the warning stick https://t.co/neEteL9dny
