Abdou Cissรฉ is on the market from Berkeley. His job market paper measures the value of energy reliability a key part of growth and development. A great laboratory for his question is a natural experiment in Senegal: the staggered roll-out of a large-scale -national- electricity reliability technology that allows him to causally measure the real effects of improved electricity reliability and households and firms' willingness to pay for such reliability. He combines great empirics, sufficient statistics modeling, and quantification all in one paper. In addition, he has a great pipeline (JME pub, JDE R&R, other R&Rs, and strong works in progress). Last but not least, he is humble and a great dude. He will do well on the market.
If you wanna know about Abdou Cissรฉ, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to share my recommendation letter. [His website is in the first response to this post.]

Yes, these scenes from Amsterdam are disgusting and horrible. But the attackers are not Palestinians, nor do they support Palestine.
Itโs exhausting and unfair to see Palestinians blamed every time a hate attack happens, as if weโre responsible for every act against Jewish or Israeli people. Hold those truly responsible accountableโblame them, not us. Stop unjustly linking Palestinians to actions that arenโt ours.
Important message from Israeli human rights activist @YehudaShaul for those who feel torn between their support for Israel and their concerns for peace and human rights:
Really glad this is out there! If youโre doing a lit review on this topic, or just want to get a feel for whatโs out there quickly, take a look at the appendix. We have a huge table summarizing a ton of papers that explore mechanisms linking climate and conflict
