Congratulations to @ellen_mcc, Meichen Lu (Ph.D., 2022), Yawotse Nouve (Ph.D., 2022), Joanne Arsenault, and Chen Zhen for their recent article in Nature Food on nutrient adequacy for poor households. doi.org/10.1038/s43016…

Highly endorse the WAYB Pico portable car seat for 2Y toddler travel. Lightweight, foldable, installs easily in any car, very safe, and straps into the plane seat (less to check and kid can’t unbuckle himself). Mid-flight referee reports are back!

Calling all Ag Econ JMCs and early-career scholars! NBER is hiring two postdoctoral fellows in agricultural economics for the 2024-25 academic year. Applications are due December 7. @nberpubs @AAEA_GSS nber.org/career-resourc…

@victorgayeco I saw Luisa present her JMP at the SEAs yesterday - it was super interesting!

Luisa Carrer is on the market this year. She is a fantastic candidate in public and political economy! Her website➡️luisa-carrer.github.io In her JMP, she builds a novel Gender Norms Index at the municipality level in Italy based on Facebook data via machine learning. (1/2)

Now that @APPAM_DC is over, please consider submitting a paper to PPCW! @danieldench1 & I are excited to have @kearney_melissa as our keynote this year. March 1-2 in Atlanta. Paper deadline: 12/1. Funding is available for students. More info here: lindseybullinger.com/workshop

@Mai_Mahmoud_ Thanks for joining us! Your JMP is fantastic - kudos!

Thank you so much @ellen_mcc for giving JM candidates, like me, the opportunity to give a seminar presentation to new audience. I personally enjoyed this experience.

If you are a PhD student doing a replication project for class, why not apply for this and become a co-author on a nice meta-replication paper? Everybody wins :-)

@ArmandDoma Yes but did you see David Brooks’ tab at this same pizzeria?

Wages are significantly lower in Italy and labor is the bulk of restaurant costs

For those approaching the job market, a useful event on private and public-sector jobs in DC: ntanet.org/2023/09/nta-ec…

Seeking advice - I resubmitted a manuscript on June 30 (initial decision was reject and resubmit). It was sent to review and all reviews were received as of Aug 3. System has shown ‘editor decision started’ since August 5. Do I ping the editor or just keep waiting “patiently”?

DM or email me if interested. Open dates are 9/22, 9/29, 10/6, 10/20. Workshop meets 1:40-3:40pm and you can join by zoom (unless you are local or have your own travel budget). Circulate manuscript 7 days before, 75 min presentation including q&a, workshopping after.

For any job market candidates (or advanced PhD students) in Dev Econ: I have a few open slots left in our grad development workshop at UGA. Give a full seminar length presentation and get feedback from students and dev faculty (@matfilipski @ShanjuktaN).

CALL FOR PAPERS! “Fifteen Years of LSMS-ISA: Longitudinal Surveys for Research and Development.” Conference to be held on November 14, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: worldbank.org/en/events/2023…

So happy my article Now, Later, or Never? Evidence of the Effect of Weather Shocks on Female Genital Cutting in Sub-Saharan Africa w/ @LindseyKNovak is out! Here's a🧵diving into the data viz I'm proud of for this particularly tricky research question. …iencedirect-com.grinnell.idm.oclc.org/science/articl…

@leightjessica @Susan_Athey @ShanjuktaN Very excited to have @ShanjuktaN join our department at UGA this fall!!!

Today's cool young researcher is @ShanjuktaN currently a postdoc at Stanford SGB (working w/@Susan_Athey) who works on machine learning, education, and discrimination shanjuktanath.com

@eeshani_kandpal Thanks for sharing this @eeshani_kandpal - it is crazy how many fields of economics are crammed into “development” simply because of where the data are collected. And we should absolutely reconsider what “general interest” means!

@leightjessica Nice!!!

H/t @ellen_mcc for the suggestion: used up THREE WEEKS of CSA swiss chard in this recipe (substituting for kale) and on cheesy ravioli it was delicious! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/101913…

@leightjessica This recipe can use several bunches of greens and no one will know how wilted they were… cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/101913…

Pleased to say we've only wasted maybe 10% of the CSA produce so far but there is a lot of frantic cooking of slightly wilted looking greens happening
