Depression, which affects ~5% of the world's population, can hinder productivity. What are the economic implications of treating depression? Researchers @M_Angeluc & @bennett_econ, supported by J-PAL's #UrbanServicesInitiative, explored this in India 🇮🇳: https://t.co/peXhJXKJk0

@AndrabiTahir The mountains look amazing right now!

Just submitted a review for a journal. Resisted the impulse to suggest to the editor they ask themselves "if this study was about the US would you accept it?" with the implicit answer yes they would. Probably would just annoy them. But do wish more editors asked themselves this.

This is precisely in line with what my WP says! In my paper, I showed (with an RCT) that female college graduates do not update their prior beliefs enough during the job search and end up in usual female-dominated sectors, missing great opportunities in other sectors.

@GarthHeutel I think you’re probably safe.

I kind of love this: “You see, we can’t return the artifacts you (cough, the Ottomans, cough) gave us because we can only LEND.”

@bennett_econ @M_Angeluc The role that mental depression plays in limiting a person's ability to adapt to a new challenge is an important issue with key implications for the distributional effects of shocks. Climate economists should think about the implications for our work.

[Daniel Bennett @bennett_econ]

Thanks @mattkahn1966! Thread about this paper to come soon.

[Matthew E. Kahn @mattkahn1966]
