Nigerian lawmakers have suspended a senator for six months, a day after she submitted a petition alleging she had been sexually harassed by the senate president. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan last Friday made the accusations against Godswill Akpabio. bbc.in/4ksLXQY

@BBCAfrica @Meetmodis This case was a crucial test of leadership for the Senate, and sadly, it failed it miserably. It had the opportunity to demonstrate that it could rise above politics and address a sensitive issue with sensitivity, responsibility, and due process. But it didn’t.

Macro professors everywhere are struggling with the reality that most students do not in fact “remember 2008”

There are so many questions about the underemployment of college graduates in low-income countries. It was a pleasure to address some of them in this paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (1/5)

Thank you to everyone who attended the seminar and shared valuable feedbacks on my JMP. Grateful for such an engaging discussion!

Dans @Mediapart, @Yunnes_Abzouz raconte comment @le_Parisien a abandonné son reporter de guerre Frédéric Gerschel, lourdement handicapé depuis un accident en Irak en 2016. Le groupe LVMH, propriétaire du journal, n’a jamais consenti à verser le moindre € mediapart.fr/journal/econom…

She’s defending her thesis. As one must.

Hi #EconTwitter! I'm on the #EconJobMarket and happy to share my #JMP "The Impact of Weather Shocks on the Effectiveness of Child Marriage Bans" Laws banning child marriage often fall short outside urban areas. I show that economic shocks explain the limited impact of these bans 🧵(1/15)

Séminaire DIAL demain de 12h30 à 13h45 @Paris_Dauphine. Joël Cariolle (@UCAuvergne, @cerdi) présentera son papier intitulé : "From phone access to food markets: How mobile connectivity is transforming #rural livelihoods in West #Africa".

Abdou Cissé is on the market from Berkeley. His job market paper measures the value of energy reliability a key part of growth and development. A great laboratory for his question is a natural experiment in Senegal: the staggered roll-out of a large-scale -national- electricity reliability technology that allows him to causally measure the real effects of improved electricity reliability and households and firms' willingness to pay for such reliability. He combines great empirics, sufficient statistics modeling, and quantification all in one paper. In addition, he has a great pipeline (JME pub, JDE R&R, other R&Rs, and strong works in progress). Last but not least, he is humble and a great dude. He will do well on the market. If you wanna know about Abdou Cissé, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to share my recommendation letter. [His website is in the first response to this post.] ps: We are not related.

@J_donami Bravo Jérémy !

@le_Parisien Vous faites la propagande d’un criminel de guerre. Ces « succès au Liban » sont l’équivalent oriental de l’invasion en Ukraine. Vous êtes contents car les civils assassinés sont des arabes.

Comment cette situation peut être tolérée voire normalisée, par des professeurs de médecine en plus? C'est juste indécent et cruel. On s'en cogne des justificatifs mais nul ne doit être obligé de travailler dans ces conditions

Lui confier une agence sur le changement climatique ? Ils sont au courant qu’il à déclassé des forêts, rasé la bande de filaos, bétonné la ville tout azimut et j’en passe? Un vrai délinquant climatique

Nous devons tous soutenir la cause des Docteurs en Specialisation (DES) au Sénégal. S’il arrive quelque chose à un proche ou nous meme, (que Dieu nous en préserve) c’est hyper probable que ça soit eux qui assurent la prise en charge à l’hopital. Il en va de notre securite a tous
