Hi #EconTwitter, I’m excited to be on the #EconJobMarket! My JMP asks a timely question with important implications for democracy: why do politicians produce toxic rhetoric? Thread below 👇

Después de mucho tiempo, puedo combinar mis dos pasiones: La literatura histórica y política pública! Puede la reforma agraria ecuatoriana explicar la desnutrición crónica infantil? Se hace de todo para reducir la DCI, pero tal vez y ciertas explicaciones están en la historia
Nicholas Gachet@Nichogachet

WP Alert! 🚨 Finally! This is one of those papers that I have wanted to write for a long time! Essentially, I combine my passion for historical development and public policy. Can the Ecuadorian agrarian reform partly explain stunting? Link to wp nichogachet.github.io/forWebsite/stu…

@npguerrerot shows that a non-state security arrangement in Peru, the Peasant Rounds, generated long-lasting reductions in criminality and conflict by fostering social capital. The research highlights the importance of bottom-up structures in weak state capacity settings.

@hparedes_c looks at the effects of a land expropriation and redistribution process in Peru on local political competition. The reform increased the number of contesting parties, voter turnout, and the participation of more educated, older, and indigenous candidates.
