When it’s all worth it. First time being back in clinics in Sierra Leone since 2019. Social signals ‘bracelets’ for childhood vaccines are now being scaled. Many new learnings talking to nurses and caregivers - things that I couldn’t have anticipated when we did the RCT. ❤️💉
Such a great conference celebrating @LEAPdevelopment 🇮🇹
@LEAPdevelopment 10th anniversary kick off today! Great talk by @AnneKaring => New evidence on antibiotic misuse: pharmacies play a pivotal role in AMR risk, but blunt restrictions can reduce overuse while increasing undertreatment!

Wonderful to talk to Mosa Moshabela, President of University of Cape Town, here at WEF about antibiotics—a powerful tool that has saved missions of lives—and the growing threat of antibiotic resistance, and economics at UCT.

Because of science:
Your mother survived childbirth. You never got polio. You’ve never seen smallpox. Your friend with type 1 diabetes is alive. That infection you had? Antibiotics cured it.
We don’t live longer because of luck. We live longer because science works.
Ed's job market paper is a tour de force: 27 RCTs harmonized, fundamental identification challenges solved, and the clearest empirical evidence we have on poverty traps. Brilliant work from one of the most thoughtful, ambitious, and technically gifted young economists!
Do poverty traps exist? @ed_jee's study of 27 RCTs finds they're real but rare. Though fixed costs make traps common, forward-looking behavior & productivity differences mean they only affect 25% of households.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Took a moment in class to remind my undergrads to get their flu and covid jabs. Not my usual role as an econ prof, but right now they have too few trusted voices. And if others are trying to avoid political strife (this ISN'T political!!!), they may not be hearing it elsewhere.
