What a lot of papers! Nice to see the 1967 paper, with its careful discussion of causal inference, alongside its handmade graphs and low-tech regressions. Interesting to see the change over time in research topics and country focus. https://t.co/RaicYiUZqa via @worldbank

The @WorldBank's poverty and inequality data have a new home: The Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP). PovcalNet is no longer being updated.

Early career years are painful.

You feel like an idiot 98% of the time - lost, confused and insecure.

I wish I had a cheat sheet of principles for my first job.

So I put one together.

Here are 20 things about building a career I wish I knew sooner:
