Honored and humbled to be named a finalist for the inaugural Africa NextGen Economist Prize by the African Development Bank Group, The Africa Report, and Jeune Afrique, alongside two remarkable African economists. I am hopeful that this initiative will spark a growing network of African economists doing rigorous independent research on the most pressing economic questions of our continent. 🌍

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to - not publish - have outstanding publication records - introduce more novel scientific concepts - less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.
