Abdoulaye Ndiaye
Abdoulaye Ndiaye@AbdouNdiayeNYU·
Abdou Cissé is on the market from Berkeley. His job market paper measures the value of energy reliability a key part of growth and development. A great laboratory for his question is a natural experiment in Senegal: the staggered roll-out of a large-scale -national- electricity reliability technology that allows him to causally measure the real effects of improved electricity reliability and households and firms' willingness to pay for such reliability. He combines great empirics, sufficient statistics modeling, and quantification all in one paper. In addition, he has a great pipeline (JME pub, JDE R&R, other R&Rs, and strong works in progress). Last but not least, he is humble and a great dude. He will do well on the market. If you wanna know about Abdou Cissé, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to share my recommendation letter. [His website is in the first response to this post.] ps: We are not related.

Project 2025: Smotrich's version ynetnews.com/article/hyzpgc… "2025 will be the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria." Directly links Trump's victory to intent to formally annex the West Bank.

Important message from Israeli human rights activist @YehudaShaul for those who feel torn between their support for Israel and their concerns for peace and human rights:
Tilo Jung@TiloJung

How Germany & the US have failed Israel after October 7: "Our friends allowed us to drive drunk. And some of our friends made sure we take another shot before we go into the car“ #Gaza - @YehudaShaul, former IDF soldier & co-founder of Breaking the Silence

Really glad this is out there! If you’re doing a lit review on this topic, or just want to get a feel for what’s out there quickly, take a look at the appendix. We have a huge table summarizing a ton of papers that explore mechanisms linking climate and conflict
NBER@nberpubs

Harmonized data from 80 studies show that extreme climate is associated with elevated risk of various types of conflict around the world, from @MarshallBBurke, Joel Ferguson, Solomon M. Hsiang, and @tedmiguel nber.org/papers/w33040

Whatever concessions Bibi made, his party is literally saying "Gaza is ours. Forever" out loud.

Damnit, I see @KhoaVuUmn already beat me to this. Which is what everyone says about Acemoglu at least once during grad school.

You think this instrument just fell out of a coconut tree? It's endogenous to all in which it lives and what came before it.
