New paper on wid.world by @gatonievas & @PaulaDruschke finds that 70% of World Bank and IMF funds are allocated to G7 geopolitically aligned countries. Bottom line: rich countries pretend to be in favour of democracy but in practice they have built an undemocratic international system to benefit from the collective resources of global public goods, institutionalizing the political inequalities between global South and global North. 🔗wid.world/news-article/t…

Does saying sorry win you favours or hold you back in the workplace? A new study holds the answers econ.st/3GgLbXy

sejak daftar ini beredar, banyak tanya bermunculan di kepala: 1. kalau PU dipotong segede itu, gimana perawatan dan perbaikan fasilitas/infrastruktur publik yg rusak di tahun 2025 ini? 2. kalau BKN dipotong segede itu, apakah puluhan BKD di daerah bisa bekerja? gimana dukungan pada ASN di sana? 3. kalau pemotongan 'across the board' segede ini (kecuali di KL yg tidak dipotong), bagaimana dengan rekrutmen staf (PNS, PPPK, tenaga ahli, konsultan) di KL2 tersebut? 4. kalau pemotongan 'across the board' segede ini (kecuali di KL yg tidak dipotong), bagaimana dgn jalannya tugas pokok dan fungsinya --di luar pembayaran gaji (yang tentu signifikan)? biar tidak shuudzon, apakah teman2 berkenan membantu menyampaikan dampak2 (atau antisipasi dampak2) di KL yg anda tahu? saya kira kita perlu evidence ttg dampak-tak-termaksud (unintended consequences) dari kebijakan ini, untuk mengingatkan/memberitahukan/protes pada pembuat kebijakan ini -- dan meminta mereka meninjaunya kembali. cc. @PNS_Ababil

Our epic study is finally out! Low-income families received food ingredients and recipes to prepare healthy meals for a period of 3 months. This resulted in a long-term decrease in children’s body mass index (but no change for parents!). journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10.10…
