My very Bengali uncle once said, "All Bengalis are in Arthniti (economics) but they have no Arth (money) in their hands."

[govind @gov1ndg]

On being asked why there’re so many Bengalis among the prominent Indian economists,

Bardhan says jocularly that “Bengalis are notoriously bad in business, so they tell the world how difficult it is to make money, and thus they all become experts in the economics of poverty.”

🚨some new data 🚨

- scraped and cleaned district-level data from india's agricultural census 2015-16 data across all states and union territories

- the data covers operational landholdings broken down by:
→ social group (sc, st, others, institutional)
→ size (marginal to large)
→ type (individual vs joint)

- i hope to make the data for the other agricultural censuses available soon as well

Villagers near Hyderabad were surveyed by economists so many times that when another economist showed up & asked a question, an irritated villager said, “Is this for a PhD or M.Phil? I will accordingly make the answer long or short.”
