Great discussion with a great friend and coauthor.

How does studying abroad help students learn about economics and business?

We reached out to @patelnomics, an Associate Professor of Economics at the Gatton College of Business and Economics at the University of Kentucky, to learn more about global studies.

New post: Questions for the Chair. The Fed made the right call last week. The press conference left five questions open. "Warsh continues to tell us which standard tools he doesn't use. He has not said what he uses instead." (Link in replies.)

Darshak has taught more than 11 study abroad experiences and is going to Slovenia this summer. We learned about
1. The importance of global education and how to get started
2. How The Econ Games started
3. The importance of community in economics

Interest rate hike, is it a good idea?

[Abdullah Al Bahrani | Economist @EconWithDrA]

The outcome is ambiguous. Does electricity increase independence and bargaining power inside the house, or does it increase exposure once women move into public space? That ambiguity is what makes for good research.

What happens when a neighborhood gets access to electricity? We would expect people’s quality of life to improve and for them to feel safer. So why did these economists find that rural electrification increased intimate partner violence (IPV)?

[Abdullah Al Bahrani | Economist @EconWithDrA]

Does putting a household on the grid make women safer, or more vulnerable?

In this conversation, development economist Shreyasee Das (Temple University) works through her paper on rural electrification in India, part of her “Lights On for Safety” research.

Strong institutions drive good economic development and growth. @shreyaseedas reminded me that every country starts somewhere; institutions need to be developed, and what works in one country doesn't necessarily work elsewhere.

@DarrinADurant @jathansadowski You are not a bad person. You are reacting to the current trends. Students need a higher ROI for being in class; sometimes a stick tips the balance.

[Abdullah Al Bahrani | Economist @EconWithDrA]

@jathansadowski Attendance is a big issue. Mandatory attendance, in class assignments, are shifts I have made. Good luck!

Warsh did a good job today in the presser sharing the conditions that led to the hike, but fell short on what would stop the hikes (and undercut the dot plot). So we ended up with a hawkish hike today.

The Fed has never raised rates with consumer sentiment this low, until today.
