Given the current political news, this may not be top of mind, but my co-authors and I are looking for French-speaking RAs to join projects in the DRC that study the role of state capacity in economic development. 1-year predoc: povertyactionlab.org/careers/pred...

I am on the job market, which seems like a great opportunity for my first post on here! My job market paper is about failures of contingent thinking -- the act of reasoning about hypothetical events. 1/

My amazing coauthor @edwardwiles.bsky.social is also on the job market! Check him out :)

Thanks for including my JMP! With @deivyhoueix.bsky.social, we run an RCT studying search costs, adverse selection, and moral hazard between firms and suppliers in a large international import market. More detail available in the paper, including model and estimation! tinyurl.com/4acf2uwm

This is a wonderful paper, using a neatly designed field experiment about innovative digital payment technologies to test important ideas. Check it out! Togethet with Deivy's other pathbreaking work (incl my personal favorite, on social spillovers and technology adoption, with incredible data).

🚀 I'm on the job market! Curious how digital tech boosts productivity but still faces adoption barriers? Digital payments are powerful tools, yet data observability can be a double-edged sword—enhancing efficiency but deterring workers fearing tracking. My takeaways on @WorldBank blog! 🙂👇 #EconJMP

Today's #econjmp by @deivyhoueix.bsky.social conducts 2 RCTs with the intro of mobile payments to taxis in Senegal, showing how making payments observable to the owner can induce more effort from the driver, change the contract structure, but also impact adoption blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...
