Excited to be attending this to present results from an evaluation of an ultra-poor graduation model in Baidoa, Somalia, with @leightjessica, @NKarachiwalla, and Kalle Hirvonen.

Come say “hi” if you’re around!

@wakincognitwo Absolutely. Costs to more ambitious or exploratory work have reduced immensely. But I have noticed that the hours spent on working with CC/Codex are cognitively way more taxing. Things get done 2-3x quicker but supervision & verification is 2-3x more intense also.

@leightjessica @akoustov @akib_kn There’s also an implicit tension between clear-eyed prose and complicated research findings. I find “Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler” a good mantra but not “simple” to implement in practice!

A 🆕 @IFPRI paper & blog joint w/ @NKarachiwalla & @meanregressive!

🤝When asked to support a school meals program, many households reduced contributions as others gave more—opposite of findings from high-income labs.

As someone who models both HANK and ABMs, I wouldn’t say modern heterogeneous-agent macro really engages with chaotic dynamics. HANK is disciplined by 3 pillars: (1) optimizing behavior, (2) market clearing, (3) rational expectations. That’s a different animal than ABMs.

@leightjessica Interested! :)
