Very happy for my colleague @Peyman_Shahidi to have received this award for a joint project! We are studying how the content of jobs are changing at the scale of tens of millions.
My wonderful PhD student, @haruka__uchida, is on the market this year. Haruka is brilliant, ambitious, and a great team player. I am confident that she will change the world with science and make everyone else around her better.
If you want someone like that as a colleague please take a look!

@florianederer@PGunigantiAT Our survey respondents probably agree! Particularly, when there's money on the table, readers reduce their trust in research findings when they learn authors have been consulting--for the government or for private cos.
Muy contento de ver nuestro trabajo publicado finalmente en Review of Development Economics!!

How many people go to church weekly?
Surveys say it's about 1 in 5 Americans.
Cell phone tracker data say it's actually closer to 1 in 20 Americans.
Fascinating!
In the US, women are less financially literate than men. Does education narrow this gap?
It turns out no: the financial literacy gap is wider for more educated men and women! Financial literacy seems to flatten out for women at college education, and keeps growing for men
Today we remember literature laureate Mario Vargas Llosa, who passed away yesterday at the age of 89 in his native Peru.
Vargas Llosa was a significant figure in Latin American literature and culture. His extensive body of work includes over 30 novels, as well as plays, essays, literary critiques, and journalism. His writing reflects his deep love of storytelling, characterised by rich language and spanning a variety of genres—from autobiographical books and historical novels to erotic fiction and thrillers.
In the 1960s, Latin American literature experienced rapid developmental period that has come to be called El Boom, and Vargas Llosa was at the heart of this explosion.
He was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature “for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat.”
Watch him read an excerpt from his book “The Storyteller”: https://t.co/pkpFvcsqQD
