#GDRI_rep Update 9: We have been waiting a couple of months to make two announcements. A few journals were in the process of retracting GDRI article. The editors informed the authors and then lawyers got involved. Who knows how long it will take.

The answer to this excellent question from @kotsadam + Løvgren: yes! List experiments do not, in general, seem to be an effective tool for measuring IPV; we should not use them unless there is a convincing reason to think otherwise

Development aid can help suppress insurgencies, but it may be counterproductive in areas where insurgents came from outside of local communities, say researchers at @theworldbank.bsky.social, @mit.edu, and @upf.edu. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/dev...

Just reviewed for Mechanisms of Aging and Development, a respected journal w. IF>5, and found this in the acceptance letter: "This recommendation is primarily based on your esteemed standing in the academic community, rather than on the overall quality of the manuscript itself." What can you say?
#TeachEcon

This semester, I thought I’d share a bit about what I do in my microeconomics lectures. I’m not particularly active on LinkedIn, but I started posting about my teaching because I’m quite frustrated with how economics is often perceived at business schools. (1/n)
