The vast majority of people (about 83%) live in so-called "developing countries".

Living in a high-income country is the exception, but somehow treated as the norm.

It's strange that we consider the study of the majority as a (relatively small) specialized subfield.

@MartinaYopo @vox_dev Thanks Martina!

[Fernanda Rojas Ampuero @ferrojas90]

Very excited to see my work featured @vox_dev. I study Chile’s 2011 reform that extended maternity leave. The extension does not harm women’s employment, but the opposite. Link to full paper https://t.co/cCC7SuCO0X

Two studies of slum demolitions, opposite results. Chicago: displaced kids earned 16% more. Chile: displaced kids earned 10% less. Same intervention, opposite outcomes. Why?

[WFU Economics @WFUEconomics]

A wonderful two-day visit from Dr. Fernanda Rojas Ampuero (@WIeconomics)! She presented her research on displacement and mortality at a joint seminar with @WFU_LALS, visited our Latin American Economic Development class, and had great conversations with students and faculty.

Pedro Lemebel’s work was mostly unavailable in English until last year, when a collection of his crónicas was released. Lemebel uses humor, vulgarity, acidic commentary, and tenderness to describe the lives of the marginalized people in his society. https://t.co/SgXKdyzmMO

This Friday, we are hosting the Cities and Development conference. It will be streamed.

When we started this in 2016, it was barely a field in econ. Amazing work is now happening, but cities are still underrated.

If you're in Cambridge and want to come, send me a DM for info.
