🚨 New working paper 🚨 with @daniel_araujoec and @ybcoliveira

Does protecting land in the Amazon reduce modern slavery? The data suggest it does.

With new protected areas, the chance of inspectors finding slave labor falls by more than half.

Tem muito em jogo nessas eleições. Proteger a Amazonia é também proteger as pessoas.

Our working paper with @GilDoVigor and @ybcoliveira, now explained in Portuguese.

With new Indigenous lands and conservation areas, the chance of inspectors
finding slave labor falls by more than half.

Protecting the forest also protects workers 👇

Um candidato prometeu acabar com os “entraves ambientais” e fazer “a maior regularização fundiária que o Pará já viu”. Isso pode ter um custo pouco discutido, o trabalho análogo à escravidão.

Eu também queria estar em outra eleição. Nesta, voto 13 convicto.
Bolsonaro devastou 4 pilares básicos do desenvolvimento econômico de longo prazo: saúde, educação, instituições e meio ambiente. E quase destruiu a democracia. O filho, sem os mesmos freios, fará pior.

Muitos de nós gostaríamos de estar diante de outra eleição. Com candidatos que fizessem propostas para o Brasil crescer, tornar-se menos desigual. Não é o que temos. Mas por cima de todos os problemas do atual governo, ainda é a democracia que deveria valer neste momento

I keep seeing people run all sorts of documents through Pangram and get outraged when they come back as AI-positive. I feel like I’m starting to lose sight of what we’re trying to achieve here. Is the outrage always warranted? 1/

New in the JDE: Joan Martínez follows 1.6M Peruvian students from age 12 to 22 to study how teachers' gender bias in grading affects outcomes. Some math teachers' grades favor boys more. A year with such a teacher widens the gender gap in formal jobs and pay🧵

#EconJobMarket candidate Daniel Araujo's job market paper shows that modern slavery in Brazil increased where labor-saving agricultural technology displaced workers and reduced where labor-demanding technology absorbed them. Profile: https://t.co/iI8c1Bz1VW
