A young Black woman from the University of Minnesota, Salma Abdi, just won THE TOP PRIZE for college students studying #economics. This is a big deal because Black women don't even make up 1% of economics #phd graduates.

Great job @sarahshaukat.bsky.social !
In today's #econjmp, @sarahshaukat.bsky.social provides evidence that NGOs do improve development - she uses DiD to examine what happened in Punjab, Pakistan when NGOs were deregistered, finding this caused a fall in schooling and economic activity (nightlights) blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

With @overleaf.com down, here's a quick tip to keep working.
If you're already syncing overleaf with Dropbox, you can still find your files in Dropbox/Apps/Overleaf
Install the latex extension in vscode or download an editor like texstudio.
Should take 15 mins or less to get set up! #econsky
