The vast majority of people (about 83%) live in so-called "developing countries". Living in a high-income country is the exception, but somehow treated as the norm. It's strange that we consider the study of the majority as a (relatively small) specialized subfield. 2/n

@MartinaYopo @vox_dev Thanks Martina!

@ferrojas90 @vox_dev Very interesting! Congratulations, Fernanda

Very excited to see my work featured @vox_dev. I study Chile’s 2011 reform that extended maternity leave. The extension does not harm women’s employment, but the opposite. Link to full paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Two studies of slum demolitions, opposite results. Chicago: displaced kids earned 16% more. Chile: displaced kids earned 10% less. Same intervention, opposite outcomes. Why?

A wonderful two-day visit from Dr. Fernanda Rojas Ampuero (@WIeconomics)! She presented her research on displacement and mortality at a joint seminar with @WFU_LALS, visited our Latin American Economic Development class, and had great conversations with students and faculty.

Pedro Lemebel’s work was mostly unavailable in English until last year, when a collection of his crónicas was released. Lemebel uses humor, vulgarity, acidic commentary, and tenderness to describe the lives of the marginalized people in his society. nyer.cm/eEXr5CV
