Measurement error may not be just misreporting. And that matters for inference about behaviors. Very pleased this paper is (finally!) forthcoming after all the great work my coauthors @KibromAbay and @leahbevis put into it.

Kudos to the @Cornell students for 7 days with NO positive cases. Mask use is pretty close to 100%, at least in public spaces and classrooms. (I don't know about dorm norms.)

Kym Anderson @UniofAdelaide reviews trade-related food policies in a volatile climate and trade environment. Assesses the scope for re-purposing food policies to meet multiple goals. Further research could facilitate such transformations in food policies. !

From my NYC ER doc son: “one thing your friends can do right now to help, besides their much appreciated prayers, is call our representatives to tell them that hospitals still don’t have enough masks, and first responders don’t have enough masks"

This comparison sums up why many universities have responded aggressively. # of asymptomatic-but-infected young people is huge. Protecting the immunocompromised and elderly requires temporary disruptions for the young and robust. A good education requires teaching duty to others.

This has been a fun and fascinating project to work on. The fact that farmers misreport true plot sizes is now well-established. What we find, in an RCT in Malawi, is that even after giving farmers the GPS measures of the plot, very few correct their subsequent self-reports. 1/3

Nonclassical measurement errors in survey data reflect behavioral anomalies and have implications for the design of both surveys and information-based interventions. Read my joint work with @KibromAbay @cbb2cornell @DraziVundru here:

And when the tables turn and one is asked to review a paper for a journal, or a grant proposal for a funding agency, what are best practices? @cbb2cornell unpacks the process and provides insights based on his experience.

One can quibble with measurement details. But the broad pattern is clear and worth celebrating. Much to do still, but solid grounds for optimism.
