Live-tweeting Karthik Muralidharan's presentation on state capacity at NEUDC. Simple story of India's economy: - Top 10% drives demand and growth - Next 30-40% in service sector jobs supporting the top 10% - remaining 50% left out, supported by welfare programs Seems suboptimal 1/n

I’m on blue sky 🌌 and sharing news of a new conference over there! fyi

Just re-upping this: I currently have more mentors than mentees/students (can probably match another 10-11 students from LMICs who would like feedback on a research paper from a senior scholar.) Fill out the from here if interested! forms.gle/ekvvoEKBLYQMoN…

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against women worldwide is a major public health and inequality concern. It's not clear what causes IPV, or how to reduce it. Gaby Deschamps' JMP notes that IPV is positively correlated with motherhood, and asks if we can understand why.

Long-overdue on 2024 recap of cool young researcher! #econtwitter My favorite part of social media + it's exciting to highlight a year's worth of exciting researchers. (Given cross-platform posting, won't link to the original 🧵s but direct to researcher sites)

Family leave and work flexibility benefit parents and children's health, but not everyone can access them. My paper with Susana Quiros, shows racial/ethnic disparities in access to these policies are exacerbated by citizenship status in the US: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The fact that the email terminating a grant obtained in an application process taking 2 months of my time last year ends with "God bless America" makes me feel. . .something. hard to say what

Thanks Jessica Leight for highlighting our work🙏and for the wonderful summary of all the exciting research in this space

This week's cool young researcher [late, post-conference edition!] #econtwitter #econsky is Ha Luong, currently post-doc UC3M Economics who works on topics related to gender, development +health

Thank you for summarizing the work of global health presenters and for spotlighting our paper. The highlight for me was twinning with Jessica Leight in the land of #DollyParton! Shout out to the organizers for a great #ASHEcon2025 as always @ashecon

Love to see both my #AMIE mentors Sebastian Tello-Trillo and Maria F Rosales in one frame! Grateful to still have their support over a year later. Huge shout out to AMIE for the initiative and strongly recommend this for all econ PhD students!

Thrilled to be included in this list of cool young researchers 😄 Jessica Leight thanks for highlighting my work. I greatly appreciate the support and encouragement you provide to young scholars like me!

🙌🙌 Data on every district boundary change in India since 1951? Yes please! Link in reply

Hard to overstate how meaningful this could be for global health research. For others: if a tree falls in the forest + no one hears it, did it really fall? For development and global health researchers: if it happens + there's no DHS, how will we know? Now, we'll know!
