@belindaarch @SAISHopkins Congratulations!!

Making it Twitter official, with a new position @SAISHopkins

@CdeChaisemartin @diegociccia1 Thanks for your work on this. Is the equivalent extension to did_multiplegt_dyn_all_pl also available for the R package?

did_multiplegt_dyn is not letting you compute as many placebos as you think it could? This vignette explains our rationale for this choice, and also explains how you can tweak the command to bybass our choice if you want. With thanks to @diegociccia1! github.com/chaisemartinPa…

@leightjessica Thank you, @leightjessica!

Congrats to @melesemesay on new work in JDE at effects of rural roads + extension on ag productivity in Ethiopia! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Saw this paper presented at AU in 2019 on job market and most recently the polished version at IFPRI just last month - great to see in print!

@leightjessica Thank you, @leightjessica! I am looking forward to my visit to IFPRI.

This week's cool young researcher #EconTwitter is @melesemesay at Amherst College sites.google.com/site/mesaymele… who works on questions related to agriculture, productivity + culture in both the U.S. and Ethiopia

@SanvalNasim Congratulations, Sanval!! Hope to see you soon!

Some bittersweet professional news: Sweet: I’m joining Colby College—my alma mater—as an assistant professor of economics in the summer. I’m excited about returning to a thriving liberal arts environment and engaging with new students and colleagues. \1

@emily_beam Congratulations!!

Tenured!😃 Feeling thankful for great collaborators, colleagues, students, and advisers (plus a few merciful reviewer 2s). Aside from WAY more biking, what do I do with these new tenure powers? 🪄

Can overlapping interventions unlock greater benefits? @melesemesay @AmherstCollege discusses how building #roads and extending #agriculture services to #rural communities in #Ethiopia had no impact alone, but increased agricultural #productivity together: ow.ly/qmFs50I5ZE4

⭐ VoxDev Talks: NEW EPISODE Today ⭐ Ethiopia's govt builds roads to remote villages & tries to make its farms more productive. Do these programs work better separately, or together? @melesemesay @AmherstCollege did the analysis. Listen & subscribe: podfollow.com/voxdev

@yogitajs @Osea82 @PittEcon I know! Hope you are doing well too!!

@Osea82 @melesemesay @PittEcon Awesome! One semester too late to see you virtually @PittEcon. Hope things are well @melesemesay!

Great to have @melesemesay presenting his work on rural roads, agricultural extension and productivity in Ethiopia. @PittEcon labor&development seminar series. Preview of results: villages with both a road and extension are 6% more productive

@Osea82 @PittEcon It was great! Thank you for the invitation!

@adam_slez We have an early-stage/ongoing work looking into the process of county formation. Just ordered your book, and I am looking forward to reading it.

If you want the full theory nerd treatment (and the full historical narrative), you'll need to read the book! From what I can tell, it is in stock and shipping from Amazon. It looks like OUP may still be offering an ASA discount as well... (4 /4) global.oup.com/academic/produ…

My latest post over at @BlogBroadstreet is up! Building on my earlier post on the endogeneity of historical data, I discuss the connection between the creation of historical data and the organization of political space in the American West. (1 / 4) broadstreet.blog/2020/09/25/the…

@SamuelBazzi @MartinFiszbein @melesemesay @melesemesay!!! What a small world! Came across this post on econ twitter and had to check your undergrad institution to make sure I had the correct Mesay. Congrats on this fantastic publication! I had no idea you pursued a PhD in econ and joined academia. Good ol days at Colby!
