Visiting University of Michigan and overjoyed to see a poster featuring the inimitable President Santa J. Ono! I’m so grateful for all his guidance and mentorship during my time at University of British Columbia, and his support for junior faculty (especially faculty from underrepresented groups!) ❤️

Sometimes I wonder if the definition of political economy is when political scientists say my work is “not politics” but economists also say that it’s “not economics” 🤣

Pleased to welcome Cesi Cruz to give a talk on "Campaigning Against Populism: Emotions and Information in Real Election Campaigns." Locals are invited to attend at 12:00 in 693 Kerr.

Important UC Davis question: which one of these cuties is your actual mascot? I’m getting conflicting answers at the store 🤣

Important update from UC Davis to settle the mascot debate! Apparently there was a student-led attempt to add a cow mascot at some point, hence the amazing selection of stuffed animals in their store 😂 Go Aggies! Thank you for the lovely visit! ❤️

Heading to Boston for NBER SI (between UCLA USC Caltech, this plane is full of economists 🤣) Looking forward to catching up with my political economy fam and hope to meet some of my #EconTwitter besties in person ❤️

Using 2019 Philippine Senatorial election results to show that directly engaging voters and providing them with policy information increases vote share, from Cesi Cruz, Julien Labonne, and Francesco Trebbi nber.org/papers/w32112

Our work suggests it’s possible indeed! From back of the envelope calculations: even if Liberal! • #TuloyLang did the door-to-door policy messaging in just 10% of the electorate in 2019, the top #OtsoDiretso candidate Bam Aquino would have been elected 🇵🇭
