I feel like I'm crushing it with this work-life integration business (at least today). I'm making a presentation for Heritage Day at my child's school and I just pulled some maps from my AEJ Applied paper on national integration in Nigeria www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=... Please clap. 👏

I imagine this applies to grad school applications as well. I always advise African students: Practice like crazy and do your very best on those tests and definitely submit the scores. That will make Admissions take a closer look at your file since your other credentials will be unfamiliar to them

Tomorrow 6.30 AM (!) I will join a panel hosted by the by the Kenya Revenue Authority on taxing high-net-worth individuals. I figured this is an important enough topic to join at that time 🙂 It's simply very hard for governments to raise revenue if they do not pay attention to those with the most $$

For a second, I got excited to see a map where African countries are doing well--little to no child penalty in employment for women! Until I opened the article and saw the other half of the story... 1/2

This used to be me years ago 🤦‍♀️(funny the things they don't actually teach in grad school but expect you to know somehow). I tried using online resources etc but would get overwhelmed (like some folks reading this AER data editor post may feel). Here's what finally helped:

Listen, listen: "Refereeing is not about how many papers you can knock down but how many you can lift up" - John List (JPE) I think it's very helpful when journal editors share that they are not impressed by how critical a referee is. 1/

In case you missed it on the other site: fascinating new [preliminary] RCT evidence that use of chatgpt as an after-school tutoring method in Nigeria *dramatically* shifted learning outcomes #econsky blogs.worldbank.org/en/education...

GAIN is an amazing resource for African students interested in graduate school (masters and phd): information, advice, mentoring, funding for test and applications fees etc. Please share this opportunity with your network.
