New CSIE working paper (wonkish!) with @amitbasole and Pratyush Priyadarshi. Link at the end. India's labour surveys sort households into strata before sampling. This can make estimates more precise, as compared to simple random sampling, but does it work? 🧵

"The most important economics book in years" Nothing less expected from my pal @arjun_jaya35005
Michael Thrower Chowdhury@BevansAdvocateMay 25
Against Money by Mason and Jayadev is simply terrific, probably the best book I've read this year. From capital, to the interest rate, to GDP, they examine the ways in which the money form governs our lives and can observe social relations. Definitely recommend.
