Learnt a lot (useful and fun facts, ;)) at this symposium on Social norms in development that I organized with my wonderful collegues @hfors.bsky.social and Ann-Sofie Isaksson.

Impression from great #ncde conference by #oslomet: So many great papers getting mixed up in my mind. Democratic competetion cancel neg. effects of inequality. Market activity will be the variable replacing night light data. And so much more. +best way to enjoy Oslo is in a sauna and the fjord.

Today's cool young researcher #econtwitter #econsky is @CriClerici @poverty_action who works on topics related to gender + health

Thought I should be more active here going forward (taking this decision one week before going on vacation, but still one week to go, currently on my way to #ncde in Oslo)

Fine visit at the school Claudia Goldin. And here you can read what I found imteresting :)

I wonder how long until the UN will have to move its headquarters (voluntarily or not)?

Such interesting data and paper on cross-gender friendship.

Enormous good news for health, well-being, and economic prosperity in the countries with high malaria prevalence. This is mostly sub-Saharan Africa where over 90% of cases and deaths occur. Of these deaths, the vast majority are in kids under 5 years old, which could now be substantially reduced.
