I had to sign this letter to the UK PM on the aid cuts. National Security is a public good: people rightly expect the state to provide it. How to fund it is a key public finance decision. Sensible public financial management is all about trade-offs. This was the wrong one.

Centre for the Study of African Economies at University of Oxford will automatically consider all applicants from Africa for full funding for the MPhil in Economics - we have new scholarships for eligible students. Apply asap: deadline 4th March (extended deadline): see below

The US government freezes international aid indiscriminately. Then the US government stops funding dhsprogram.com, the main source of data that would allow an accounting of the dire consequences of this decision and an understanding of how to address them. What next?

3 days left to apply!

Two weeks left to submit your papers to the BÆM development workshop in Bristol! 👉baem.info

Job🚨! Apply for a 6-month Bristol-based research associate FT post to support the implementation and data analysis of our RCT on demand for contraception in Nigeria! jobs.ac.uk/job/DLT104/res… Deadline: February 20 @PaulaAureo @DevEconX

Musk's claim that just 10% of US aid reaches recipients is absurd. @cgdev lays out the facts: - US gov costs are just 10% - Rest reaches recipients mostly thru US corps/nonprofits + multilateral agencies - ~10% goes thru foreign organizations cgdev.org/blog/no-90-per…

HERE WE GO!!! Today marks a historic milestone as ASE Nigeria welcomes its inaugural cohort of students! As we open our doors for the first time, we're excited to embark on this incredible journey with our founding #students.

@Jeff_Weaver_ I appreciate the work that you put into this and your public service, but the profession's obsession with just 5 journals is not healthy. Let's not promote that. There's plenty of overlap in quality between papers published in these 5 journals and elsewhere!

The @econometricsoc has some great new initiatives to nurture African talent. Thank you for leading on this! Current call for applications for an online causal machine learning and big data training worth checking out africaeconometricsociety.com/aftw-2-2024
