Learned a lot yesterday at the 7th @WorldBank/@ElliottSchoolGW/@The_IGC urbanization and poverty reduction research conference. Most striking is the overlap between poverty and where climate change will have the most damage. Our cities need to start mitigating and adapting now!

[Rethink Mississippi @RethinkMS]

Mississippi's state govt has passed laws preventing cities from raising the minimum wage, restricting guns, moving Confederate statues, limiting soda sizes, & more.

But when the capital city's water system fails after a historic storm, they say it's not their place to intervene.

The “Arab Spring” started a decade ago, with a match lit by Mohamed Bouazizi. Only one Arab country, Tunisia, is freer now. Others are governed more ruthlessly and less efficiently. Real improvement requires coming to terms with the region’s religious and intellectual repression.

I have to read many persistence papers.

Often I struggle to unpack what they're saying. Many studies focus on downstream econometric details (or rather the performance of quantitative rigor), but not enough on fundamentals. Like, what is being estimated, what estimates mean. 1/2
