Food policy: Lessons and priorities for a changing world 📢 Last week on VoxDevTalks, @timsvengali, @Jo_Swinnen & @PMenonIFPRI (@IFPRI @CGIAR) reviewed the last 50 years of research on food policy – and what it means for the future of food (in)security: voxdev.org/topic/health/f…
"You cannot be an activist and a bad student- it doesn't add up. We must be as demanding of ourselves as we are of our governments."- Professor Leonard Wantchekon @lwantchekon thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/magaz…
💡NEW: It's time for foreign aid to prioritise foundational learning, argues @WWHGlobalEd. Their analysis shows that investing in just one year of foundational learning programmes boosts children's future earnings by $164 billion.👇 ow.ly/sEwf50WQfE9
Back to teaching or studying at university this September? @vox_dev has tons of useful resources for university economics courses - I have included some examples in this thread. 1/n

Thank you @Freakonomics for the great discussion and podcast! The Economist Who (Gasp!) Asks People What They Think @Freakonomics freakonomics.com/podcast/the-ec…
#Econadvice I'm looking for some resources for undergraduate teaching, with an overview of key insights from the main fields in economics. E.g. labor economics, public economics, etc. Does someone have a class syllabus with such information? Or is there a book or similar?
One of the key lessons I’ve drawn from studying economic development is that wealthy nations only promote the idea of development as long as it doesn’t threaten their hegemonic position in the world economy.
We completed a super fun quarter of Econ 109 @Stanford on economic applications of satellite data using the high-performance @JuliaLanguage Students rapidly picked up coding skills & led the class on amazing adventures in the final class projects 🌎 To infinity and beyond! ✨
Why is development economics stuck in "good institutions" trap? Because of normative bias - assuming that good institutions must look like Idealized Britain A necessary way out is "using what you have." In other words: indigenous innovation. 🌞 🔗muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…

“Whether it is improving corporate governance, shaping public policy, or refining educational approaches, insights from behavioral economics can inform meaningful change.” – Roberto Weber, UBS Foundation Professor ubscenter.uzh.ch/en/news_events… #EconomicsForSociety #UZH #shareUBS
🚨 Cool field experiment on #EconTwitter: Fake PhD student bots followed 6,920 users. Follow-back rates revealed clear bias: ▫️ +12% for White vs. Black students ▫️ +21% for top-tier vs. lower-ranked schools ▫️ +25% for women vs. men Racial gap persisted even at elite schools.

It was a great pleasure to welcome around 2000 students to our masters programs and to @NovaSBE at the start of a new academic year. These students come from about 100 different countries, bringing incredible diversity and global perspective to our community. We look forward to…
New evidence that foreign aid increases school enrolment in Nigeria (that is any kind of aid, not specifically aid for education projects)
Trying to prevent another country from developing advanced technologies is the same thing as trying to block their economic development. It's time for wealthy nations to stop pretending otherwise.
🆕 Mobile communication as mental health policy: Lessons from Ghana during COVID-19 Today on VoxDev, @belindaarch (@SAISHopkins) & @fannan2316 (@AreBerkeley) discuss the impact of mobile communication on mental health outcomes during COVID-19: voxdev.org/topic/health/m…
