Will Colombia become the next Latin American country to join the BRI? Or is it a question of not if but when? New @dialogueearth.bsky.social article explores ~ dialogue.earth/en/business/...
Colombia juggles closer China ties and Trump tensions
Country looks set to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a possible boost for trade, investment and energy – but likely a source of frictions with its traditional US ally

Why does the United States have the highest rate of maternal deaths among industrialized nations? SPH Professor Eugene Declercq created the website Birth by the Numbers to better understand what’s behind the numbers. The website also tracks other pregnancy-related data.

Mortality is about “the way we treat women in healthcare,” Eugene Declercq says

PSA to fellow economists- if African countries are the preferred sites for randomized experiments to place papers in top 5 economics journals, then the history, institutions, and people/scholars of African countries are more than good enough to study as "general interest" and co-authors 1/n #Econsky

Such a travesty that the Demographic and Health Survey program was terminated this week.

I realize the Gates Foundation can't pick up all the pieces, but this one seems like a natural one for them to pick up given that the DHS is the go-to data source for many of their focus areas.
The Demographic and Health Surveys, a major effort supported by USAID and widely used across the world, are also not currently available.

This is indeed very illegal - but as of yet, there haven't really been any lawsuits.

There should be, and there are options! I wrote about them here timhirschelburns.substack.com/p/yes-what-m...

Amazing JMP by an amazing economist! Check it out
Hi @bsky.app! I'm on the #EconJobMarket and happy to share my #JMP: "The Impact of Weather Shocks on the Effectiveness of Child Marriage Bans"

Laws banning child marriage often fall short outside urban areas.

I show that economic shocks explain the limited impact of these bans.
