Dear professors, if you have Peruvian students, check in with them. It's been more than 50 days of government oppression and deaths keep increasing. We are not doing okay, our families and friends are in danger and our country is falling apart.
Olvidate de que Keiko es hija de A. Fujimori. Ella ha tenido demasiado poder durante los ultimos 15 años con los que pudo hacer mucho. Lo hizo? No. Aposto por democracia? Nunca. Desestabilizo el pais? Si. Entonces no digas que votas por ella para salvar la democracia.
Use mis dos mascaras y seguí los protocolos. Me tome 3 tests durante mi estadía en Lima y esta ultima dio positivo. Tengo 3 vacunas y harta fe en ellas. El bicho esta en todos lados, cuidense mucho♥️
Peru es el unico pais que tiene esta bobada, no se cuantas veces he tratado de explicar a gente de afuera que bachiller no es igual que licenciado... no tiene sentido mas que para dar poder a los Colegios...

Justicia por Rodrigo y Sebastián. 🏳⚧ Imagina irte de Luna de Miel con el ser que amas, siendo ambos personas trans, provenientes de un país suramericano, y que en un evidente caso de racismo y transfobia, les detengan, en ese procedimiento irregular, una de las personas muera.

Rosa Maria, lo que dice
@hugonopo
es cierto. Los datos aun no existen y tomaria meses para probar la ineficacia del gobierno. Lo que si hay mal manejo y mucha especulacion y podemos especular las consecuencias pero no existen datos aun. Te lo dice una economista.
Microeconomía básica: El objetivo de las empresas en competencia es ganar esa competencia. Y eso implica ser dominante en ese mercado. Si dice que va a meterse con monopolios y oligopolios, lo que nos dice es que se opone al sentido mismo de la competencia: ganarla. (10/16)
Al estudiante que escribio esto en la encuesta de docente: "Excelente docente, es realmente inspiradora su pasión por enseñar y discutir temas en economía de la educación. Tras su curso creo haber encontrado el campo en el que quiero especializarme." GRACIAS 🥲🥹
My friend, my brother, my coauthor, and the dude who forced me to watch Rocky and I still hate that movie but he prepared to admire the biggest fight I have seen against cancer, and he we won! Congrats Dr. Flor Toro 🤩
He did it! He beat brain cancer! He overcame dealing with me as a roommate for a couple of years too!
... and now he is doctor in economics!
Nothing can stop him!
Officially ended my semester at

Thank you for your support of Jose Luis! Your generous donations have made it possible for him to undergo emergency surgery lastnight and various brain tests at Elmhurst Hospital in NYC. It also made it possible for him to be transported by ambulance to New Haven. 1/n

defienda SUNEDU. Nos tomo demasiado tiempo poner en marcha la regulación que era necesaria como para tirar todo al agua. Palabra de maestro (?)
Pedro Castillo tiene la oportunidad de posicionarse frente al congreso y de cara a la ciudadanía con temas como la defensa de la Reforma Universitaria. Si no lo hace, será un maestro en la presidencia que no defiende a los estudiantes ni la calidad de la educación.

@ConchaArriagada
sharing her life story and her views on the lack of representation of women in Economics. She is really what exemplifies coming from the bottom, a non elite institution in a highly unequal country, to the top 🗽
Now add people going for +6 years on the phd, postdoc, and tenure track time. An additional year gets costly over time for women, and my male peers don't need to worry about it.
Econ PhD programs need to provide health insurance that covers egg freezing. By the time an average female student go on the job market after a predoc + master’s + PhD, they will be in their early 30s, perhaps without a stable partner.

Razones por la que no voto 🍊y marco ✏️:
1) Memoria: un pais que olvida esta condenado a repetir la historia de corrupcion y violacion de DDHH
2) Economia Politica: las elite de Peru dejaran a Keiko hacer lo que quiere, a Castillo no
3) Economia: ningun partido tiene plan..[1/n]
In one example David Card – awarded the 2021 prize in economic sciences – and Alan Krueger (now deceased) used a natural experiment to investigate how increased minimum wages affect employment.

3/ This poses an exponential advantage: in the cities of Peru that we recorded, we encounter 100x (envelope calculation) more diverse driving scenarios than in cities like San Francisco, London, or Shanghai -- where there are higher levels of driving standards.
A ver chibolos, cuando hagan su tarea de Macro 1, recuerden esto: *comparar crecimiento es tontito cuando la asignacion inicial es desigual*. Es decir si en t=0 todo estaba un desmadre, no esperes que que en t=18 necesariamente hagas "catch up" y tu economia converge. 1/n
Antes de q prendan aquí algunas quejas chilenas sobre el costo de vida: esta es la evolución de los precios, salarios promedio y salario mínimo desde 2001 en el Perú.
Also let’s remember that most Latin American PhDs are white and from very privileged backgrounds: rich and highly educated parents. What are the chances that you get an URM from Latam? Probably zero.
@erinhengel
@ENPancotti
URM-US = black, Latinx, or Native American, & grew up in the US.
URM-International adds people from those groups who grew up outside the US. (Most of the additional speakers are men from Latin America.)
when i was an undergrad, reading
@Alan_Krueger
’s paper on the minimum wage changed my view of Econ. When I arrived to Princeton to work at the IRS next to him was a dream come true. He was a true scholar and an his lectures inspired so many of us. This is a terrible loss.
Finalmente lo lograron, mataron a SUNEDU, mataron lo poco que quedaba de progreso. MINEDU de hace una década empezaba a ser lo mejor que tenia el gobierno peruano llega hoy con un ministro corrupto. Las consecuencias del retroceso de los últimos años nos tomara décadas en reparar

Peru’s Pisa results have left me speechless. Compared to 2018, almost no change, while most countries have significant loses. If we had one of the longest lockdowns + most deaths per capita in the world… what does it say about Peru’s education system?

ÚLTIMO Resultados PISA 2022. Los estudiantes en Perú obtuvieron puntuaciones inferiores al promedio de la OCDE en matemáticas, lectura y ciencias. Puntos menos en matemáticas y aproximadamente los mismos que en 2018 en lectura y ciencias.

, Henrik Kleven and I are hiring full-time pre-doctoral RAs to start in summer 2022 (or earlier!). We have a great community where RAs can learn from us, each other, and from Princeton graduate students. Please share widely!
So we take all these hours of training to learn we should protect all our students. She is just doing her job, like we all should do, and I would have done exactly the same. This is beyond scary, and we all should be.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor
@CarolineFohlin
came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
a bittersweet moment of the PhD is when you start writing the dissertation, and I realized how old some ideas were - my jmp started with a playlist I created for my rides on the NYC train, in 2018!

La gente usualmente no cuenta sus malas experiencias, la primera vez que postule fue como a 5 programas "para pobrar" y me rechazaron de todos. Nada de eso define si eres buena o no, solo aprendes a jugar el juego y tener estrategia. No se desanimen si no sale a la 1era!
Since it’s that time of year, my annual statement that I got rejected from ALL the PhD programs I applied to my first try, and got into the top 3 on my second try. I didn’t get smarter or better in any way in the interim.
This is all a crap shoot.
Please do not internalize!
Fun Music Fact: A very old Peruvian waltz named "Let nobody know my suffer" composed in 1936 by Ángel Cabral (Argentinian) became so famous that inspired Edith Piaf to make her famous song La Foule. Decades later, it became a South American anthem. Happy
