Siddharth Eapen George et al. study a 2006 Indian reform to show expanded credit access fosters #innovation for firms that face few non-financial barriers. But for the average firm, other barriers hinder their ability to translate credit into innovation.

The 2006 reform significantly improved newly eligible firms’ ability to access credit. Long-term loan balances increased by 12% for newly eligible firms relative to firms with no shift in eligibility. Short-term and total borrowing also expanded by more than 20%. Yet the increased access to bank credit had little impact on product innovation. Access to finance is an important driver of innovation in developed countries. This studies a 2006 reform in India that expanded credit access for many small Indian manufacturing firms, and finds a nuanced relationship between credit and innovation. Among firms that face few non-financial barriers, credit access fosters innovation, as in advanced economies. But for the average firm, additional barriers hinder their ability to translate credit into new and better products, diluting the effect of credit on innovation. Instead, these firms use credit to scale their existing operations and fully utilise current capacity.

A senior academic using mentoring as leverage to obtain sex is a contemptible abuser of power.

Once students graduate and earn a sufficiently high income, they repay a percentage of it into your DAF under an Income Share Agreement. You can then re-invest this money into future Malengo students, or in other charitable goals. (You cannot earn a private return; the money remains charitable.) 3/4

Neta sets up a donor-advised fund (DAF) for you. Money you put into it (minimum: $25k) directly supports our students from East Africa on their path to a university or vocational degree in Europe. Contributions into your DAF are eligible for tax deduction. Setting it up takes a few minutes. 2/4

- So many job market candidates! We should come up with a system to choose between them that takes into account their full spectrum of qualities. As a discipline that prides itself on nuance and sophisticated measurement, along how many dimensions do you think we should rank them?

Yes, not to be confused with Hauptfeuerwehrmann, Brandoberinspektor, Hauptbrandmeister, Oberbrandmeister, Unterbrandmeister, and Feuerwehrmannanwärter, but it would be silly to introduce those before the 21+m book

In some places, 18+m refers to the age in months at which the book is appropriate. In Germany it refers to the maximum number of letters per word

Ah interesting - I was told the results of my nomination this year, but not the reason (and I don’t think the candidate was either). Apart from that, JPAL is better in allowing self-nominations, but it’s bad that it’s been run by almost exactly the same people since inception.
