The 13th Season of AYEW is in progress, but some moments remind us that AYEW is about so much more than each season❤️ Four generations, from our founders to today’s organisers, came together, a beautiful reminder that while people and roles change, the spirit of AYEW lives on🥰

Development economics now has a global home. 🌍 @ideadevecon began by listening. Early-career scholars across Latin America, Africa and South Asia told us what they need: mentoring, visibility, funding leads, collaborators. We're building around that. 🧵 @deanyang @nberpubs

Joining the Journal of Development Economics as a Deputy Editor. A few years as an AE taught me how much rides on small decisions — which referees you pick, how long someone waits. Trying to get that part right. Send your development papers. @NUCSSH @NUEcon @NU_PolicySchool
