I was invited to speak at the closing panel of the Israel Economic Association meeting and discussed the situation in Gaza and what we can do about it. While things have deteriorated since, I think what I said remains relevant (Hebrew link in comment)

Really lovely to have Kelsey Jack back @TuftsEconomics (she left us in 2018). Her visit was both an excellent reunion of old friends and a great way to learn about how clever pricing of fuel subsidies can lower emissions.
@Mai_Mahmoud_ is an outstanding prospect as future researcher, in my humble opinion. If you look to hire in development economics, check out her work!
Her job market paper investigates how efficiently the market mechanism allocates agricultural inputs. It has it all!
