"The world must now affirm that human lives matter, no matter where they are." -- Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo in today's FT.

I am on the job market, which seems like a great opportunity for my first post on here! My job market paper is about failures of contingent thinking -- the act of reasoning about hypothetical events. 1/

My amazing coauthor @edwardwiles.bsky.social is also on the job market! Check him out :)

This is a wonderful paper, using a neatly designed field experiment about innovative digital payment technologies to test important ideas. Check it out! Togethet with Deivy's other pathbreaking work (incl my personal favorite, on social spillovers and technology adoption, with incredible data).
