I had a great time (and a very special birthday! 🎂) at @NEUDC_2026

So great to see so many amazing JMPs and so much exciting work in development economics 🙌🏾

For a summary of my JMP, see the thread below 👇🏾

Northeastern Universities Development Consortium @NEUDC_2026 1d

In the last part of the #Behavioural morning session at #NEUDC2026, Cornell University, @billywoom is presenting his research on “On the Other Side of the Creek: Historical exclusion, localized social capital, and human capital” with @mennaanayel as discussant.

Excluded groups and neighborhoods get less schooling for generations. Can human capital gaps outlive resource equalization? If so, why?

My JMP looks for answers on the two sides of a line drawn in 1542, with historical censuses, a survey & experiment, and a framework 🧵

Two of my great friends are on the job market, and their JMPs are the kind of projects I'd have loved to work on! 👇

How do illiberal democracies silence science? Mon pote Luc shows it in Orbán's Hungary: researchers seen as opponents lose co-authors and output with every mandate, and many leave or self-censor at home.
