By the way, a week ago, I defended my dissertation - credit is due to the best committee who have inspired and supported me throughout these crazy years (@saumjha.bsky.social, @Steve, and @Vicky, in a purely alphabetical order). Next stop: TBA once a visa gets approved (nothing new under the sun).

Ethnic divisions and political or economic challenges can make it harder to build peace and foster development but history demonstrates that these barriers have been overcome before, and they can be again. Read about Faculty Affiliate @saumjha.bsky.social's research via @voxdev.bsky.social.

It’s been a really tough day for anyone with family and friends in South Asia as the lights go out and people appear to be preparing for war. Our dog Kaylo seems to have sensed this and established a new kennel spot under my desk. The chances for miscalculation are just too high.

Thanks to @chagaiweiss.bsky.social for sharing his recent RCT with us, which showed that receiving investment portfolios in energy markets—especially green energy—can increase belief in climate change, support for climate action, and pro-environmental behavior. Exciting and encouraging results!

How can societies increase generalized trust? Trust is crucial for prosperity but varies dramatically & persistently around the world. Yet in an article just out in the JPubEcon, @chagaiweiss.bsky.social Moses Shayo & I show that experimentally varying exposure to financial markets increases trust
