Happy to share my new working paper! 📜 Using a geographic RDD, I show that Germany’s historical confessional divide shapes contemporary voting behavior 🗳️. Survey evidence points to a role for confessional affiliation.

Thank you for reading 🙏🏼

Para mí Argentina son las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, Charly García cantando que "los dinosaurios van a desaparecer" y Mafalda poniendo en su lugar a Manolito y a Susanita. La Argentina de Milei existe, claro. Pero también existe otra, y uno decide con cuál caminar.

en su afán de nunca ser responsable de nada, el gobierno de la ciudad de méxico se muestra como un posible corrupto que le asignó a una sola empresa todo el mantenimiento de la ciudad y como un seguro incompetente que durante meses no supervisó ni los colores con los que pintaba la empresa

Politicians who later become congressional leaders trade stocks like everyone else ... until they ascend to power.

After ascension, their portfolios beat peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts.

📣Hi #econtwitter! I am on the job market! 📣
My JMP builds a 20-year panel showing an after-school care reform increased university grad. rates. The key: moving children from home to care centers →peer interactions shaped preferences/beliefs—not skills.

"In all countries, respondents greatly overestimate the number of immigrants, think immigrants are culturally and religiously more distant from them, and economically weaker—less educated, more unemployed, more reliant on/favoured by government transfers—than they actually are."

The worst-case scenario of famine is now unfolding in Gaza.

Widespread starvation, malnutrition & disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths amid relentless conflict, mass displacement & severely restricted humanitarian access.

Es difícil dimensionar el grado de retroceso que ha sido la 4T para un montón de luchas históricas y actuales de la izquierda y de movimientos populares que buscaban un país y una sociedad más justo y democr��tico. Su transformación fue traicionar todo eso
