Wowza- what an amazing climate adaptation paper. Shows that adaptation can be constrained by incorrect beliefs and that there are cost effective solutions. Like 8 papers in one.

.@dev_a_patel is simply awesome: "To [improve] existing flooding datasets, I develop a new measurement approach combining ... machine learning & geophysics in the analysis of satellite data"
That's not his JMP, that's just a background paper to his JMP.

They’re blocking men’s social advance & now being blamed

@_alice_evans @Undercoverhist @AlvaroLaParra @CleoCZ Rohini Pande and Helena Roy have a lovely piece on this subject: cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/campuspress.ya…

@Undercoverhist @AlvaroLaParra @CleoCZ Mildly ironic that someone so invested in respecting private property paid scant regard to intellectual ownership of ideas.
Or maybe he was inadvertently making the case for government regulation - to prevent intellectual theft! 😜

Friedman's take on why Marshall married Mary Palley (cc @CleoCZ ): "the main reason he ever married her - to keep her from publishing the book under her own name...After the Principles came out under his own name, he suppressed the Marshall and Marshall"

@_alice_evans Incredibly striking. Makes it even more puzzling that today, it has one of the world's largest gender gaps in fourth grade math scores--but in fact favoring girls timss2019.org/reports/wp-con…

Saudi Arabia may be the most patriarchal country in the world.
Some emphasise the mosque attack, others blame oil.
So, in 1960, what percentage of girls were enrolled in school?

Everything you know about cross-country convergence is (now) wrong. cgdev.org/blog/everythin… In which @dev_a_patel, @arvindsubraman, and I take issue with a new JEL review that seems to ignore the last quarter-century of economic growth. 1/
