Welcome to the BI Department of Economics Twitter account!🌟

We kick things off with a glimpse into our annual Nobel Prize seminar, featuring Annika Bacher presenting Claudia Goldin's groundbreaking research on women’s historical roles in the labour market. Stay tuned for more!

Politiet har i løpet av natten søkt etter en savnet jente på 16 år. Hun ble sist sett ved Trondheim Katedralskole ca kl 0900 fredag 08.09. Hun er 169 cm og har langt blondt hår. Trolig i ført grå hettejakke og sort bukse. Ring 02800 om du har opplysninger.

Our new Journal of Public Economics paper "The zero-rent society" shows that windfall revenues do not always induce rent extraction by political elites. Transparency is critical! https://t.co/XfjfiKGURz

In April and May the scope for manipulation increases. We analyze the data as they come in and have created a set of visualizations that are regularly updated at @jorgenja web page https://t.co/JsdUYGZtGg [3/3]

[Jon Fiva @JFiva]

The empirical distribution (II) which falls gradually towards the cutoff resembles the hypothetical situation illustrated in panel VI, suggesting that there is little manipulation perhaps because few firms find themselves in the area where altering their numbers pay off [2/3].

[Jon Fiva @JFiva]

We find no evidence that the discontinuity in the distribution scheme (https://t.co/2Ne5egAOYI) has lead firms to manipulate reported turnover in the March data [1/3]. @jorgenja

How do parties motivate candidates to exert effort in closed-list elections? New working paper with Gary Cox, @ProfDanSmith, and @RuneJSorensen: https://t.co/jlfX7e4VuX

Interesting and important angle on our paper and the process, by The Chicago Booth, Stigler Center, focusing on censorship and academic research: https://t.co/GxxerYqjSx

[Jørgen Juel Andersen @jorgenja]

Events are unfolding quickly at the moment - our paper just came online in The World Bank Policy Research Working Paper series: “Elite Capture of Foreign Aid : Evidence from Offshore Bank Accounts” (English) | The World Bank https://t.co/qzx9ETaRYo via @worldbank

[Jørgen Juel Andersen @jorgenja]

In accordance with the World Bank, due to increasing demand from the media, and for the sake of full transparency, we just now published a draft of our paper on aid and hidden wealth (still in process for publication in WB’s policy research series) https://t.co/lZJHf13o65

[Jørgen Juel Andersen @jorgenja]

The Financial Times, this morning, includes a bit more detail about our research. More updates soon. https://t.co/TdkmGK2SsO

Penny Goldberg resigns as Chief Economist at the World Bank - https://t.co/UV1GSZBj6Z

Ouch: WB chief economist leaves job after higher officials block publication of internal research showing a correlation between foreign aid to developing economies (including WB aid) and jumps in their deposits in foreign financial havens

[Jørgen Juel Andersen @jorgenja]

My research on World Bank (WB) aid and hidden wealth, with Niels Johannesen (UCPH) and Bob Rijkers (WB), attracts considerable attention. The Economist reports our paper was blocked by WB top management, connecting this to Penny Goldberg’s resignation. https://t.co/V2qDXogBrP
