Former graduate student Carlos Rondon Moreno and our colleague Christiane Baumeister catching up at a Central Bank of Chile conference:

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

🚨 Excited to share insights from a paper I co-authored with @juanherreno.bsky.social on why emerging economies often face financial crises or "Sudden Stops"! Just published in Journal of International Economics (@jintlecon.bsky.social ) 📝 Link: shorturl.at/JdJhr #Econsky #Macroeconomics

Epic idea

Happy to see a nice summary of our paper on the March issue of @nber.org digest: “The Unintended Consequences of Merit-Based Teacher Reform in Colombia.” Can merit-based selection of public teachers necessarily leads to student’s learning gains? Not always #EconSky www.nber.org/digest/20250...

Trump is flirting with answering a question: would NATO trigger an article 5 against say, US? And they call ME a war monger???

Happy to see our paper with Bernardo Candia out at the @jeeanews.bsky.social. We use high frequency data and variation from countries that left the gold standard to estimate the cost of bilateral exchange rate appreciations in US cities

My daughter (16) got her new 'locked down' laptop from her school today. It took her 20 mins to work out that she could get VPN software on it via airdrop. I don't think this social media ban is going to work.

A policy summary of our paper, featured in @voxdev.bsky.social. This is useful evidence for future reforms to public teacher hiring systems, like the one that should take place soon in Colombia!

Who knows what wild legal moves Trump will have "his" DOJ up to with Pam Bondi as AG and Kash Patel running the FBI. I understand why Biden wants to protect his family.

Hi #EconSky! I recently joined, and found a piece talking about my paper published in the current issue of the @jpube.bsky.social. "The unintended consequences of merit-based teacher selection: Evidence from a large-scale reform in Colombia" Comments are very welcome!

Just back from giving a talk to 2nd year students on how to approach research, how to write a paper. Abhijit was coming after me (good thing he didn't go first, tough act to follow!) Here are my slides... www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0pm2m...

Will Trump support #Ukraine? Who knows... UKR will continue to have many allies in EU & elsewhere but, in all likelihood, a heavier burden of the #war will have to be carried by UKR. The country will likely have to raise taxes to cover defense spending. My thoughts in this article #UkrainianView

I hope most of the 82% are just trolling.
