@oliverwkim In a JDE piece @loraulet and I found that the income, consumption, and wealth levels in Rural areas in Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda were surprisingly similar. Differences at the country level seem mostly, even entirely, driven by differences in urban areas.https://t.co/ZCWu4vnExq
We had a blast at our workshop “On Families, Technology, and the Economy” @NYUAD_SocialSci! Such a great lineup, energy, and discussions. Huge thanks to all the speakers and participants. Stay tuned for future C4Ps, b/c we are planning more conferences on this topic in Abu Dhabi.
@loraulet and I are hiring a 3-year Postdoc to join us at @NYUAD_SocialSci to work on fertility (including through technology), human capital, and employment trajectories in comparative perspective. Econ/demg/soc https://t.co/6CXND0UvIE

Thanks to Ines Macho @IDEA_UAB and the @bse_barcelona for spotlighting our work (with @c_aleman and Dani Iorio) at the bse focus. It explores how heterogeneous learning about the mode of infection shapes the HIV epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Learning about the risks 5 years earlier could have reduced #HIV infections by 60% and saved countless lives at the peak of the epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa.
