I am delighted to announce the next round of the Webinar Series in #Finance and #Development, #WEFIDEV, for the 2026-2027 academic year co-organized with @nish_vats, @KimFeCramer, @giorgiabarboni and #SeanHiggins.
WEFIDEV brings together scholars working on finance in developing countries, with a particular commitment to creating a thoughtful, constructive, and intellectually generous space for new ideas.
For the Fall 2026 webinar series, we especially welcome preliminary and early-stage ideas. The goal is to offer a low-stakes environment where scholars can present work in progress, receive helpful feedback, and build connections with others working on related questions.
As always, we are particularly eager to give visibility to junior researchers. We also hope to devote at least one session to job market papers by candidates going on the market this academic year. Faculty, please do share this opportunity with your students working on finance and development.
More mature papers will be a better fit for the Spring 2027 call, which will include the WEFIDEV webinars and conference in collaboration with the Review of Financial Studies, with dual submission to the RFS.
The Fall 2026 webinars will meet on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the fall months, from 11am to 12pm US Eastern time, 5pm to 6pm Central European time. Exact dates will be announced soon.
Submissions for the Fall 2026 webinar are due by the end of the day on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
And if you know someone who would like to join the WEFIDEV community, please encourage them to contact us via mail, DM or writing at [email protected].
We look forward to seeing many exciting new ideas, welcoming new colleagues, and continuing to build a generous and vibrant community around finance and development.
I typically do not post working papers. If anything, I prefer to write about published papers of mine (so rarely), or about the wonderful papers/colleagues from whom I learn so much (often about the #WEFIDEV network in #Finance & #Development).
But this one feels a little different.
"Microdata for Research in Macroeconomics and Finance" is a fun paper that I wrote along the way (@cepr_org DP link below), after @pogourinchas, #PetiaTopalova, and #NanLi from the @IMFNews reached out with the idea of taking stock of how microdata are changing research in macroeconomics and finance, stimulated by the excellent work of the @FCDOGovUK headed by @DennisNovy.
The central idea is simple: over the last two decades, economics & finance have been transformed by the growing availability of granular data (credit registries, firm balance sheets, digital payments, and more). These allow us to move beyond aggregate averages & ask sharper questions. Who is constrained? Which firms respond to policy? How do payment systems reshape economic activity? Where are market imperfections most binding? And more.
This matters everywhere, but especially in low-income countries, where importing policies from high-income settings can be misleading. Market frictions, informality, enforcement, institutional capacity, and financial infrastructure often differ in fundamental ways. Better policy requires understanding these mechanisms from the ground up.
In the paper, I construct a new dataset of more than 1,900 academic publications using nine types of microdata, drawn from the top 50 journals in economics and finance between 2000 and 2025. The dataset combines bibliometric work, LLM-processing, and human verification.
