Such terriblly sad news, rest in peace Prof. Jha.

[Paul Burke @burke_ec]

Vale Professor Raghbendra Jha, a leading economist working on India's economy, the macroeconomics of developing countries, and public economics. He led the Australia South Asia Research Centre (ASARC) at ANU for many years. He'll be greatly missed

The NFHS is one of the last trusted representative household surveys in India that gets updated, makes micro data available.

Going after the statistical system for inconvenient truths does our country no good. This trajectory, across surveys/indicators/orgs, is depressing.

The BJP won the 2019 parliamentary elections in India: but was it ALL fair and square?

This astonishing new working paper by @sabya_economist provides scientific evidence that suggests vote(r) manipulation by BJP.
