- New post on @voxdev.bsky.social about our long-term study of rural electrification in Rwanda. We revisited villages connected to the grid ~10 years ago. Modest short-term impacts persist—but adoption remains extremely low. voxdev.org/topic/energy...
- Another seminal 'causal' economic history paper revisited, another interesting replication saga. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
- Reposted by Jörg Ankel-PetersNew submission format at SBE: “Replications as Registered Reports” link.springer.com/journal/1118... You can get "in-principle acceptance" before data collection even begins; final paper gets published regardless the results, if the study is conducted rigorously. #EconSky

- Reposted by Jörg Ankel-PetersIch freue mich über mein Interview in der SZ @szde.bsky.social! Die Ungleichheit bei den Vermögen in Deutschland ist extrem hoch. Das hat strukturelle Gründe, vor allem Unternehmensbesitz am oberen Ende. Daraus folgen höhere Renditen der Reichen, was die Ungleichheit weiter treibt sz.de/li.3372503

- Important new paper on normative bias in research. In a many-analyst design estimates produced by pro- vs anti-immigration teams systematically differ, driven by specification choices. It’s exploratory analysis expanding on a PNAS paper, but findings seem plausible. www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

- We have a new DP @i4replication.bsky.social. It's on IVs - the credibility revolution’s workhorse in economics. To show how problematic they are, we look at what IV aficionados do & think. IV users can dismiss our assessment as too critical, but not theirs, right? 1/6 www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10...

- We conducted a 10-year follow up on our impact evaluation of Rwanda's electricity access roll-out program - now out in @natcomms.nature.com. Modest short-term impacts sustain, but connection rates stagnate and electricity usage remains on extrenely low levels. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
