It has been one year since the January 2025 suspension of USAID. In our new paper (with Annabelle Tan and @ashani.bsky.social), we treat this suspension as a natural experiment and examine how foreign aid withdrawal affects conflict dynamics. A thread: [1/7] papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It’s that time of the year! Send in your submissions to the next Social Conflict and Political Economy Workshop at the University of Sydney! 😊 Deadline 15 Jan 2026. sydneyscope.org

After nearly 10 years since we started working on it, our paper “How natural disasters spread conflict” (with @raschky.bsky.social @yveszenou.bsky.social and Junjie Zhou) is now published in the European Economic Review 🤩 doi.org/10.1016/j.eu... 🍾🍾
