Fantastic review of #FermentedFoods Figure shows impact of preparation on postbiotic, metabolite (FDM), live microbes (FAM), and probiotic content. Paper also highlights research needs Great works from @GutBugs2 @GardnerPhD advances.nutrition.org/article/S2161-…

This paper has just been published at the @JPolEcon. When a new firm enters a market with an established incumbent, its primary challenge is to raise consumer awareness of its product. Using random graphs, we examine price competition. See: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…

@leightjessica @DupasPascaline thanks for sharing, @leightjessica ! We have an updated draft with a broader discussion of external validity and suggestions for researchers here: tinyurl.com/2zdccesp

As I've lately been immersed in discussions of costing (+ valuation of time!) wanted to do short 🧵 on this (not new, but very useful!) paper @danagness @DupasPascaline nber.org/papers/w29752 tl;dr: value of time for self-employed rural poor = 60% market wage (bounds 40-100%)

@M_FarhanMajid @leightjessica @DupasPascaline @je External validity is certainly a concern! We try to provide some guidance on applications to different settings and suggestions for proxies that don't require full replication (see section 6.3 of the updated draft) drive.google.com/file/d/1ak_6ez…

@leightjessica @danagness @DupasPascaline @je Thanks a lot @leightjessica ! Makes sense.
