🆕 How internal migration is reshaping rural India Today on VoxDev, @raamadhok.bsky.social (University of Minnesota), Frederik Noack (UBC), @mushfiq-econ.bsky.social (Yale) & Olivier Deschenes (UCSB) discuss the internal migration of agricultural workers in India: voxdev.org/topic/migrat...

thanks so much for highlighting my work @leightjessica.bsky.social! 🙏

Today's cool young researcher #econtwitter #econsky is @raamadhok at U Minnesota who works on topics related to environment + development

🚨New @nber.org WP🚨 We use data on 42,000 households in #India to study how the agricultural sector copes w/ labour loss. As #farmers move to cities for higher wages, their left-behind families *don't* substitute with increased capital -- they downsize their farms. (1/2)

NBER@nber.org · last yr.

Migrating to new economic opportunities in cities, rural Indian families don't mechanize, they downsize their farms. Their neighbors produce more as land and crops markets adjust, from @raamadhok.bsky.social, Noack, Mushfiq Mobarak, and Deschenes https://www.nber.org/papers/w33854

Happy my JMP is (finally) coming out! The JAERE review process was wonderful and improved the paper a lot. Thank you to all who helped see this project through.

So proud to have co-organized this rally, w/ inspiring + brave speeches from @tedmiguel.bsky.social, @fdoperez.bsky.social, @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social+20 more and 1000+ attendees! We need to keep fighting against the depraved stream of chaos flooding this country and damaging the rest of the world.

That felt good! Great speeches from the Berkeley community, ranging from Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna to undergraduate student leaders. Amazing energy in defense of science, and it felt good to do something positive, even if it's just a small step. Below is the text I read. #StandUpForScience !

Saw this video and had to share. This was at the Bell Centre, never heard it so loud, this is Canadian unity 🇨🇦 #CanadianUnity

Looks like this is happening. This great perfidy from our longstanding and close ally and friend is immensely saddening and maddening. But it also makes me resolute to defend our country. We should and must retaliate. A thread about what I'll be looking for in our retaliation measures....

Excited to start the year off sharing some memes made by my students in Intro Econometrics for extra credit on their final. The prompt is to make a meme about an econometrics concept, and then explain to me, as if I am your less econometrically savvy relative, why the meme works.

Last semester I prepped a PhD course on environment & development econ. All material is available on my github. Hope it's helpful! If you have suggestions (papers to cover, topics to include, etc), please let me know. Thank you to those who provided reference material to build the course.

Planning your climate or environment syllabus? I like to show short videos so students & I can visualize some of the things we're talking about. Here are some of the ones I like:

Long-overdue on 2024 recap of cool young researcher! #econtwitter #econsky My favorite part of social media + it's exciting to highlight a year's worth of exciting researchers. (Given cross-platform posting, won't link to the original 🧵s but direct to researcher sites)

Was thrilled to learn that @larsvil.bsky.social has a tutorial on reproducibility! Check it out, #EconSky. larsvilhuber.github.io/tutorial-rep...
