Learning spillovers between firms are widely seen as important but hard to estimate cleanly. We ran an experiment with energy-efficient motors in the Dhaka leather-goods sector. Links to non-technical summary and video below. With @rchaurey, @Gaurav__Nayyar, Siddharth Sharma.

Claude Code Confessions-- Opus 4.5 failed to replicate the summary stats table exactly, even after detailed step-wise instructions in the planning model. When grilled, regretfully confesses to generating a random variable. The RA we wish for, but def not the one we can trust?

Knowledge spillovers are key to growth but hard to estimate. Randomly giving out energy-efficient motors to leather-goods firms in Bangladesh led to strong local spillovers, from @rchaurey, Gaurav Nayyar, Siddharth Sharma, and @EricVerhoogen nber.org/papers/w34296

Amid debates about the #H1Bvisa, read this article by @rchaurey, @kanmahajan & Shekhar Tomar which finds that ⬆️ uncertainty around US immigration policies – without any change in visa quotas/procedures – caused firms to relocate jobs from US ➡️ India

The Indian Economic Censuses show that an increase in tradable services employment boosts non-tradable services employment too, especially for female workers & female-owned firms. Interesting findings from a recent @ncaer IPF paper:

At some point Rajasthan Royals will stop backing Riyan Parag. The question is when.
Parag is not Russell, SKY, or Shaw, who have excellent records, and hence need to be backed if they fail while taking risks in a high-risk format.
Parag has a SR of 124 and an economy of 10.70.
