I just donated to several of these (vetted) organizations. Please consider doing the same if you have the means and are outraged by the Israeli starvation of the Gaza population.

Since the great financial crisis, much has been written in CPE on the fate of South European economies. Have they really morphed into export-led growth models? With what outcomes? Are their trajectories convergent? In this new DP, we use granular data to put claims from the literature to the test 🧵

From the FT today: "The killings on Sunday will deepen doubts about GHF’s ability to replace the UN, which previously delivered aid to families at local distribution sites. MSF International on Saturday described the new system as “disastrous. Ineffective. Dangerous. Reckless. Dehumanising”."
