Thank you @BauNatalie! None of this would have been possible without my wonderful co-author @laspinx, and the support of four incredible advisors in @BauNatalie, @juliana_londono , @Manisha_econ, and Adriana Lleras-Muney.

I have learned so much from all of them! :)

[Natalie Bau @BauNatalie]

Okay, last but certainly not least, I'll tweet about another excellent student, @D__Henning. David is a development economist, focusing on firms and their interactions with regulation/tax administration. His JMP studies how tax audits affect firms AND aggregate output in Uganda.

@Viquibarone Thank you Vicky, that means a lot!😊🙏

[David Henning @D__Henning]

@HuihuangZhu Thank you so much Huihuang!🙏😊

[David Henning @D__Henning]

In addition to being an excellent economist, @HuihuangZhu is a wonderful colleague, generous in his time and energy, gives great advice, and has amazing food recommendations😊He would be a stellar addition to any department!

[Natalie Bau @BauNatalie]

@HuihuangZhu is a labor economist focusing on topics related to education and inequality. His JMP, "On the Right Track? Evaluating the Achievement and Inequality Effects of Academic Tracking" is the first I know of to causally measure the long-run effects of academic tracking.

@FlyingBrussels Update: 37 hours in, @FlyingBrussels call me back. Turns out the supervisor does not have the authority to deal with the case and refers me to another department called customer service.

I wonder what the others were?🤔 The wait continues..

[David Henning @D__Henning]

@FlyingBrussels, poor customer services. Called at 7 am yesterday for an urgent flight. Was told that the request was escalated and I was promised a call-back within a few hours.

31 hours, and 10 follow-up calls later, still no call-back...

Amid the chaos of the last few weeks, my paper on sports betting in Uganda came out.

A thread for those who’d like to know more, but don't want to download the pdf/skim the intro. 1/17

A few days ago, the University of Chicago, i.e. the president and provost, emailed the campus with a subject mentioning “public safety”

The email starts out by calling for an “examination and reflection of law enforcement in our society”

To all my friends in the UK, watch out..

It really does seem like the UK government's since 2010 are on a war footing with the next generation that holds the keys to our future prosperity... the track record really is appalling:

[Matt Lowe @hmmlowe]

A classic question in development economics is whether (and what types of) poverty traps exist. This new paper by Balboni, @orianabandiera, Burgess, @maitreesh, @anton_heil finds evidence for poverty traps in Bangladesh. Let me try to explain... [1/N]

[David Henning @D__Henning]

This. is. terrible.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. https://t.co/8DteVzexLB

[David Henning @D__Henning]

Wow indeed..

[Dina D. Pomeranz 🟣 @DinaPomeranz]

Wow, this graphic showing wealth to scale and in relation to other things blew me away.

I study such things for a living and still found it very instructive. Keep scrolling to the right.

So consumed with US news lately, I missed the very upsetting UK news of the DFID/Foreign Office merger. DFID has been so exemplary in pushing for evidence-based aid and policy, we need more of it not less. https://t.co/7d7QMxcDKL
