    I want to share a new(ish) paper with @nonso2 on prison labor and police that was accepted for presentation at the @nberpubs DAE SI and took over 2 years of archival data collection:researchgate.net/publication/34… But before the results, some background on why we wrote this paper: 1/n

    The path to US citizenship is not easy (understatement, as my fellow immigrants know) but 22 years of school/work and thousands of dollars in application fees later, happy to announce that I am now a citizen of the United States of America 🥳

    As a 'development economist', I've always been somewhat uncomfortable with the title, due to its imperialist history. It's important to ask 'development for who'?And if the answer is not one that respects the dignity of poor/marginalized people,then we're doing actual harm/wrong

    Just received very useful piece of advice on a research project from a superb, amazing senior economist that I really admire: "Not every paper needs to be about causality". We can still do good, important research that is not focused on estimating causal effects #EconTwitter

    After weeks of teaching on Zoom and years of research on inequality, I’ve been thinking a lot about how Zoom essentially provides windows of inequality and literally highlights unequal backgrounds of our students. This is concerning for a few reasons: 1/n

    Wow, so is this the part where the US et al. apologizes to South Africa and the other banned African countries...

    A friend told me that Black women are only 2%(!) of tenured faculty in the US, and I, as an early 30s millennial who got her Phd at 25, went from arriving here as a poor Nigerian immigrant to being a tenured US citizen economics professor. Truly a started from the bottom story

    3 lessons I've learned so far as a Black woman in academia/econ: 1. don’t let folks gaslight you- yes that person was being racist/sexist, doesn’t matter if they’re 'like that to everyone' 2. It’s ok to say no 3. Dust yourself off after journal rejections, your work is important

    New evidence that diversity matters for health: "Our findings suggest black doctors could help reduce cardiovascular mortality by 16 deaths per 100,000 per year — leading to a 19% reduction in the black-white male gap in cardiovascular mortality"

    Black men who (randomly) see a black doctor (rather than non-black one) choose to take up more of the suggested care, such as flu shots. Super impressive field experiment -- involved setting up + running a medical clinic in Oakland! Ungated copy: goo.gl/qf1uEw
