1/ How do climate shocks reshape lives inside households? 🏠🌍

My #JMP explores how climate shocks can change the way household members share resources, deepening intrahousehold inequalities. This has important implications for climate resilience and policy design.

@Josh_Merfeld Importing using off-beat separators, converting string variables to numeric. Unique keys and matching across datasets. Identifying and cleaning duplicates. Dealing with missing values (big one for R). Variable naming (big one for Stata).

Balram Vishwakarma runs one of the most genuine human interest accounts on Instagram I’ve ever seen. While I did not always agree with Andheri West Shitposting, I enjoy reading his citizen interviews and political commentary.

At its peak the white population in South Africa was higher than the general category here. The unjust distribution of financial & institutional power, & intellectual hegemony couldn’t persist for a century there. We’ve had over a 1000 years & counting. https://t.co/GpsaRJGnvo

The BJP won the 2019 parliamentary elections in India: but was it ALL fair and square?

This astonishing new working paper by @sabya_economist provides scientific evidence that suggests vote(r) manipulation by BJP.

And no, this is NOT about EVMs.

To estimate poverty in India from a biased sample, a recent World Bank study uses max-entropy re-weighting to correct observable biases. How well does this work?

Based on simulations, Jean Drèze & I raise highlight serious concerns for poverty estimation. #EconTwitter
