Hi everyone. Looking for suggestions.
This semester I’ll be teaching an undergraduate course on general topics in economic theory. My idea is to cover well-established theoretical frameworks and pair them with the most recent empirical evidence.

🚨New working paper 🚨 How did migration reshape Brazil’s religious landscape? Raphael Corbi, Fabio Miessi, and I have a new paper showing that internal migration drove a major religious shift by transforming local religious markets instead of converting migrants or spreading beliefs. 👇

Great initative! Do you know junior economists from LMICs? Please encourage them to apply - chances of being matched seem great and I'm sure the feedback will be useful. Requirement: "Mentees should be pre-PhD or in a postdoc in a LMIC, with a finished paper ready to share over the next month."

Just to emphasize again the key point from this great JMP: there has been a massive shift in political realignment such that less educated voters sort into the Republican Party due to cultural messaging, while economic policy only modestly keeps them in the Democratic Party
