We use data on 42,000 households in #India to study how the agricultural sector copes w/ labour loss. As #farmers move to cities for higher wages, their left-behind families *don't* substitute with increased capital -- they downsize their farms. (1/2)

So proud to have co-organized this rally, w/ inspiring + brave speeches from @tedmiguel.bsky.social, @fdoperez.bsky.social, @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social+20 more and 1000+ attendees! We need to keep fighting against the depraved stream of chaos flooding this country and damaging the rest of the world.
That felt good! Great speeches from the Berkeley community, ranging from Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna to undergraduate student leaders.
Amazing energy in defense of science, and it felt good to do something positive, even if it's just a small step.
Below is the text I read. #StandUpForScience !

Looks like this is happening.
This great perfidy from our longstanding and close ally and friend is immensely saddening and maddening.
But it also makes me resolute to defend our country. We should and must retaliate.

Canada has been officially told that President Trump will impose tariffs today. Timing and specific details unknown. But it will be today. We will have extensive coverage on CBC News Network.

Excited to start the year off sharing some memes made by my students in Intro Econometrics for extra credit on their final. The prompt is to make a meme about an econometrics concept, and then explain to me, as if I am your less econometrically savvy relative, why the meme works.

Last semester I prepped a PhD course on environment & development econ. All material is available on my github. Hope it's helpful!
If you have suggestions (papers to cover, topics to include, etc), please let me know.
Thank you to those who provided reference material to build the course.
