    I applied to 24 PhD programs in 2012, spending months of my salary. Only @NYUpolitics admitted me💜 They are incredible at taking a chance on international students who may not have fancy letters or undergrad labels. I remember ordering KFC to celebrate my admission. 😹

    I'm starting this thread on why doing data-driven research in Pakistan is *so* hard. Here I'll document mostly my own experiences and observations. I'll try to provide comparisons when I can.

    🚨 Just accepted at @RevEconStudies 🚨 with @yasirmkh We study ordinary people's entry into politics as candidates in a field exp. We show that portraying the job as a prosocial one increases the chances they run & win. Subsequently, policy aligns more with citizen preferences.

    ``How politics is perceived matters for political selection & policy: when portrayed as enabling pro-social action ordinary people run for office, get elected, and make policies that reflect voter preferences.'' Recently accepted paper, from @saadgulzar and @yasirmkh 👇
