How the Ramayan TV show helped shape a singular nationwide Hindu identity @samzsays ✍️ thehindu.com/society/how-th…

Exposure to a 1987–88 TV adaptation of a Hindu epic strengthened religious identity, increased Hindu-Muslim conflict in the short run, and raised longer-run Hindu nationalist electoral success, from @resuf_ahmed, Paul Brimble, Akhila Kovvuri, Alessandro Saia, and @deanyang nber.org/papers/w33417

Final speaker of the session is @SvevaVitellozzi who studies the impact of a floods in Bangladesh on time use patterns and empowerment; results show that the shock led women to be more empowered, an effect which persists over time #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE

How do women's promotions in the workplace affect bargaining in the household? Hannah Uckat shows that women's bargaining power increases and the results indicate that there are complementarities between women's power in the workplace and the household #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE

First up is @zaki_wahhaj discussing investment decisions and the role of differences in intra-household perceptions and decision-making power using a sanitation microcredit intervention in India; these differences matter but at different stages #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE

The #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE Empowerment and Intra-household Bargaining session begins with the chair @rossaokod introducing the three speakers: @zaki_wahhaj, Hannah Uckat and @SvevaVitellozzi

Final speaker for the session is Mirko Vintar who shows how a reduction in food entitlements in a large refugee camp in Uganda can impact health, nutritional and employment outcomes using a regression discontinuity design #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE

How do UCTs affect labor allocation and farm productivity? @pgsirma explores this topic using Malawi's flagship social protection program; there is an increase in both agricultural productivity and own farm labor and a reduction in casual labor #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE

Next up, @emmariley discusses how information campaigns, in the form of interactive voice response (IVR) messages on the benefits of mobile banking, can successfully encourage financial technology use in Ghana #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE

@KipkechElijah starts the #OxCSAE2022 @Oxford_CSAE Cash, Mobile Money and Food Aid session on the topic of micro-enterprises in humanitarian programming by comparing the impact of business grants against unconditional cash transfers

@Mattlj92 @oxford_ukraine @OxfordshireLive Sure! Feel free to use the picture.

@oxford_ukraine @pbrimble Hi, I'm from Reach, the @OxfordshireLive publisher. Would we be okay to use that picture?

Yesterday 1000+ people attended our protest in Oxford. THANK YOU, our 🇺🇦 community feels so supported. Many donated & asked how else to help. We'll be sharing things to do in coming days. Don't let solidarity stop here. Donate, pressure government & stay updated 📷 @pbrimble

1) Measuring Non-Cognitive Skills: Psychometric Validation of Scales by @MartaGrabo (bit.ly/3cTZVcB). 2) How to Measure Depression in Low-resource Settings by @JuliaRzPz and @alansteinoxford (bit.ly/390GptJ).

The “Mental Health Measurement for Economists” closes with a Q&A session led by @JuliaRzPz. For additional resources, the Mind and Behaviour Research Group has a couple posts on this topic as part of the #MBRG #measuresmatter series. #OxCSAE2021 @Oxford_CSAE #MBRG

Lastly, @MirandaWolpert wraps up the speaker presentations with a discussion on the importance of harmonising different mental health metrics to ensure a common language for researchers to use. #OxCSAE2021 @Oxford_CSAE #MBRG

Next, we have Crick Lund (@UCT_news) who identifies several important steps for implementing mental health measures into low-resource settings, highlighting the importance of locally adapting and validating screening instruments #OxCSAE2021 @Oxford_CSAE #MBRG

First up is @VictoriaBaranov who discusses conducting mental health interventions, scaling them up and measurement approaches. One such measure is the use of biomarkers such as hair to create a 6-month time series. #OxCSAE2021 @Oxford_CSAE #MBRG

Today's second special event day begins with a session on "Mental Health Measurements for Economists" hosted by #MBRG's @JuliaRzPz with @VictoriaBaranov, Crick Lund (@UCT_news) and @mirandarwolpert. #OxCSAE2021 @Oxford_CSAE

Final speaker of the first session Laurel Wheeler talks about the impact of LinkedIn training in SA where youth unemployment is very high. Positive employment impacts likely driven by reducing supply side information frictions. #OxCSAE2021 Labour day @Oxford_CSAE
