@oliverhanney , @emaansiddique , and the stellar editorial board do a fantastic job in offering curated, accessible materials to the development research community.
As a devoted reader, I am very happy to have also contributed to it :)
🆕 Understanding self-employment in Brazil: Can people afford to search for jobs?
Today on VoxDev, @tscarelli @UniofOxford & David Margolis @PSEinfo show that material scarcity & financial constraints appear to be the main drivers of self-employment: voxdev.org/topic/labour-mark…

Hi #EconTwitter, I am Manpreet Singh, PhD @PSEinfo . My #EconJMP analyses large renewable capacity auctions, focusing on India. I study 2 issues:
1⃣ Theory: Cost-efficiency of firms selected in India's auction.
2⃣ Empirical: Impact of efficient alternatives on public funds
🧵
Fellow social scientists, which survey questions do people use to measure political leaning? I am looking for alternatives to "who did you vote for?" or "where do you see yourself on the liberal/conservative spectrum?" Self-promotion is encouraged if you have worked on this.
Happy to see EALE supporting Leonard, Federica and Carmen. Great researchers and super nice people 🌟 – at Oxford, England
We are proud to announce that 3 exceptional job market candidates, Leonard Bocquet sites.google.com/view/leonar…, Frederica Meluzzi sites.google.com/site/federi… and
Carmen Villa Llera warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/econom… have been selected for the 4th EALE Tour taking place in May 2025.
VoxDev (@vox_dev) has a new post about summarising academic papers for a policy audience, by @oliverhanney. My favorite tip is on pitching research at the right level, where the action space for policymaking and the paper's external validity may overlap. voxdev.org/topic/communicati…
The internet says that you get a doctoral sword when you finish your PhD in Finland. Well, when you conclude a PhD in France, you may get a giant croissant (if you have the right friends, that is). A big thank you to my friends and colleagues from @PSEinfo ♥️🥐 – at Paris, France

If you are interested in learning more about minimum wages, @attilalindner and I have a new, up-to-date review of the topic, coming out in the Handbook of Labor Economics. Here's the @nberpubs working paper.

Encouraging to see @AndresVelasco question paradigms from the Washington Consensus and propose a richer program with dynamic growth, political feasibility, state capacity, workers' empowerment, protection against volatility. Beautiful closing for @the_IDB's conference.

With @cmtneztt we are looking for a part-time research assistant for a project on the relationship between inflation and political attitudes.
Profile: living in the UK + good knowledge of Stata.

I already knew from first-hand experience that Anmol was an amazing researcher. It turns out he is also an amazing teacher, according to @EEANews. Congratulations, my friend!
A teaching award, that too by @EEANews, was not something I had imagined in my wildest dreams!
Super grateful to the committee, PSE management, and especially my students who made teaching econometrics a truly enriching experience.
Many congrats also to @DaltonPato & @JSantoul!

Work presented by @davidautor at the EEA-ESEM meeting argues that quantity of automation alone cannot explain its effects. Looking at which tasks are automated (simple, complex) has richer predictions for employment and wages, a new framework reshaping how we think about this.

James C. Scott, my mentor and friend, has passed away. A legendary social scientist, Jim was an exceptional scholar and one of the kindest people I've ever met. His contributions to political science and anthropology are unparalleled.

It's also a bit frustrating for those of us who have been trying to move things on for, in my case, 20 years. The Guardian ran a similar 'this is ridiculous and outrageous' piece seven years ago. But here we still are. [2/12] theguardian.com/science/2017…
