THREAD: It's exceptional for assessmnts to publish their costs so kudos to @HounkpodoteH & @CONFEMEN for the transparency in this article. Below are a few things I learned from engaging closely w. PASEC & being on their steerco in past years (1/n) globalpartnership.org/blog/pasec-eva…
Solar electrification #SDG7 is driving lead pollution in Africa: one solar battery can release the equivalent of 100 lethal oral doses of lead. Safe recycling is urgent. New publication with @schmid_gallego Fernando Antonanzas Frank Podd @SustainableUoM sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Went to the @sim_manchester at the weekend, which was great but they could really use an exhibit on the economics of the industrial revolution. The whole world was extremely poor for millennia until Manchester started making those machines!

Community members in Mathare are still fundraising for survivors of the flooding here. They are still pulling bodies from the water, and many people have lost everything. Your donation will go towards helping people navigate these first few weeks. mchanga.africa/fundraiser/972…
I tend to trust the train guy have (& heard similar from national rail staff) - that there probably were some initial benefits after privatisation, but those gains have now been had

Mathare floods: met with community human rights groups this morning working on the ground in rescue & support efforts. A lot is needed. At least 600 people affected. We’ve set up a donations platform - all money goes to helping those affected: mchanga.africa/fundraiser/972…

Why is there nothing in the Renter's Reform Bill about lead poisoning? The US has had law since 1992 requiring landlords to disclose to renters if there's lead paint or not in old properties.
Our study w/@karthik_econ @c_r_walt on how to expand state capacity to improve child development in India is now out on @JPolEcon! We find that, in staff-constrained public childcare centers, hiring an extra worker improves child learning and nutrition. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…

Yesterday, the FT reported that Labour will axe the phrase 'Levelling Up'. ft.com/content/f30041… This is not surprising: it was the central plank of a Conservative manifesto. A couple of thoughts on this what this might mean for regional policy... 1/6
Quite right. Labour should stamp on this nonsense at once. The Rwanda scheme is wrong, whether it works or not (which it won't).
We literally can come in and just rip up the Rwanda deal - anything else would be morally bankrupt!
"Versailles gets 20 times as many visitors as Buckingham Palace." "Windsor Castle isn't even the most popular destination in Windsor, which is Legoland." @RepublicStaff member Alex says the Royals bringing in more than they cost is a myth. @alexisconran | #StormHuntley
Would be a very good idea for "senior figures" to knock this on the head quickly.

The overlooked part of centralisation is that is a massive gamble. Might work, might not. National politics is a mix of the good, the bad and the mad.

I've looked at this post multiple times this evening. If it seems that *everything* in the world is worse, or that q we study on econ growth, public health, basic service delivery are small/ incremental, it's worth coming back to this. Hard to think of metrics that matter more!
The reduction of child mortality is one of the big achievements of our time. But it is hard to celebrate something that is *not* happening. So, for my new article, I turned things around. 👇This is the main chart and takeaway. Here is the article: ourworldindata.org/children-saved…

To explain away smoking & lung cancer link association, you need a confounder that: - is associated with a 20x increase in lung cancer - is 20x as prevalent among smokers cran.r-project.org/web/packages/E… What's the equivalent for social media & mental health?
People dunking on this too quickly, "correlation is not causation", "we don't vote count studies", etc. *Not every important question can be answered with a perfect RCT* For decades, the cigarette-cancer link was similarly correlational, based on case studies, etc. 🧵 1/N
Happy birthday to Albert Hirschman, who would be 109 today. Hirschman—anti-fascist, resistance hero, later a development economist—may be the most interesting person to ever take up the profession. 🧵 and blog post on his remarkable life and work.

PLOS ONE published an RCT of a program providing free reading glasses to adults needing near-vision correction in Bangladesh (where ~1/3 of adults need such correction but only 3% get it). Quick take: High-quality RCT finds sizable 33% gain in workforce earnings at 8-mo mark. 1/6
