In the latest episode of the @IdeasofIndia podcast, I speak with @gchiplunkar @UVA about labor market frictions in India, reasons for the low female labor force participation in India, the importance of information flows and networks, the role of middlemen, and much more.

What a time to be an economist! AI is creating new datasets—and new questions—about productivity, labor markets, firms, and economic growth.
Want to help answer them? We’re hiring a PhD economist to join the growing Economic Research team at OpenAI.

I love that so much attention is going to making sure children master literacy & numeracy in the early grades! But we can't forget the kids who need later remediation.

This study substantively boosts literacy & numeracy among secondary school students.

How are women’s paths through structural transition different from men’s?
At a recent CAFRAL seminar, @gchiplunkar (@DardenMBA) presented new work (with Tatjana Kleineberg, @WorldBank) exploring how gender barriers have shaped labour market transitions since 1970 🧵

Wow! This project looks amazing.
In it, three scientists at Columbia, Michigan, and Maryland introduce VRscores: a measure of the partisan leanings of employers in the United States.
The dataset is constructed by linking U.S. voter registrations to online worker profiles.
The dataset covers the 2012-2022 period. VRscores capture the political affiliations of 21.8 million workers across 2.6 million employers.
Wow!

1/ Ever wondered if your ethnic ancestors' climatic experiences shape how you think about the environment today? 🌍🔥
In a new WP with Cesar Barilla, we find a U-shaped link between ancestral climate variability & attention to the environment today.
