Elections in #SouthAfrica are just around the corner. Participatory #democracy is slightly down😐#EconTwitter
Elections in #SouthAfrica are coming soon. Civil society participation is going down🫤#EconTwitter #democracy #Election2024👇
See below for an invite from @UPTuks to an event on #growth isn't enough in #Africa. I thought growth was about change & #transformation🤔#EconTwitter #institutions #development
The @SAReserveBank released its monetary policy review. It barely mentions the words #unemployment, 'wage #inflation & inflation #expectations. They don't mention #HANK models either. The homogeneous @EuropeanCentral looks differently.. #EconTwitter
Happy 33rd birthday, FRED! Let’s make this year’s celebration off the charts – share a photo rockin’ your FRED swag, spill the beans on your top FRED data or drop a comment about why FRED is your go-to resource #HappyBirthdayFRED!
It keeps happening with the @WorldBank, too much of this #tyrannyofexperts in #Africa. @bill_easterly #EconTwitter #foreignaid #Growth #Economics bbc.com/news/world-688…
In addition to the canonical empirical papers on #Growth, a course on #African #development should do pre-colonial #institutions, #stateformation, #slavetrade, #colonialism, #culture, #Democracy & #media. That's what I did.. #Africa #SouthAfrica #EconTwitter

I was having a late breakfast and decided to play some Beethoven. The Fifth under Kleiber is still breathtaking, not only the 'destiny' knocking at the door, but those horns and trumpets at the end.. my G-d!!
Just finished reading the 'Voltage'. @Econ_4_Everyone does a good job, say, it's well written, insightful, and above all, it's very much about economics first principles that we-economists-tend to forget along the line.. #EconTwitter
See below for an interesting paper on foreign aid by @DreherAxel and team.
See below for an interesting paper on foreign aid by @DreherAxel and team.
Access to #Credit in #SouthAfrica is comparatively low. Credit allows people to invest in physical and human capital. The @SAReserveBank is the main regulator. They are responsible to come up with incentive mechanisms so that our established #banks start being agents of change.
The @WorldBank has awarded #Ethiopia a $1.72 bln loan for power and water supply expansion. A noble effort. But #Democracy in there is lower than in #SouthAfrica, #Africa and in the world 🤔. @bill_easterly and his tyranny of experts might come handy here.
Interesting post by @daan_steenkamp on the sorry state of research at @econrsa and @SAReserveBank, unfortunately not surprising, one funds the other, birds of feather..

When #teaching undergrad #Macro in #SouthAfrica ditching the over taught IS/LM for #Growth was not difficult. The trickier task was to change assessment. The MCQs had to go. With me the students had to write a country report which would give them critical analytical skills.

The reality is there is so much to read or think about and time is scarce. But it’s easy to fall in the trap of reading the latest repetitive slow moving stories that are offered in front of our noses.
A skill I developed is to largely filter news that becomes uninformative on depressing on intractable issues—not for not caring. I keep reading bits, but some news and opinions just get repetitive. Saves time and mental energy! These days: encampments, most things Trump, etc.
Rent Control Rhetoric. Comments on a lovely old essay by Friedman and Stigler. grumpy-economist.com/p/rent-control…
@mfbittenc It took a very long time to "penetrate" yes. In part because of media, I think. Check out this very interesting paper: academic.oup.com/afraf/article-… One interesting thing in our paper is that you really see how little the DA every engaged with the issue.
@mfbittenc Crazy to think it was more than a decade ago. Feels like ancient history almost, but also like it was yesterday.

Hobbes famously noted that, without the strong Leviathan, life would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish & short. What he didn’t say is that with the wrong Leviathan, life would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish & shorter. Hence, the case for democracy.
From riots to revolutions, every conflict leaves a footprint on civilian lives. The Conflict Exposure Calculator tracks how close these footprints are to everyday life across the globe. Explore the data. acleddata.com/conflict-expos…
A free research idea. In declining cities, the carbon footprint per square foot of space will remain high. Why? Little new construction (that would be "all-electric)" takes place and it isn't profitable to retrofit the older buildings. The durable capital stock matters!!
--> electricity use is highest in summer due to air-conditioning --> if all buildings convert to all-electric, we will shift to peak use in winter (#FalconCurve) --> to flatten the curve, we must reduce energy demand in buildings as we electrify them hbr.org/2023/01/design…
