I want to start a Twitter thread!(*)

QUESTION: What is one of your favorite figures in economics? Please submit answers below!

(*)Inspired by dinner conversation last week with possible colleagues
I agree w/ Jesse Shapiro that figures are often more honest, complete, interesting, and persuasive brown.edu/Research/Shapi…

I also think figures can help people remember what your papers are about (IMO my co-author @talgross is great at this)

So, let's begin!
My pick: Griliches 1957 ECMA paper showing "S-curve" diffusion pattern in the adoption of hybrid corn econ398.academic.wlu.edu/files/2017/01/…
Chris Udry's pick: Jensen 2007 QJE paper showing that cell phones reduce price dispersion in the fisheries sector in Kerala, India academic.oup.com/qje/article-pd… (This is a very interesting paper!)

Other nominations?

Babcock University: Recalcitrancy, Poor Information Dissemination, Disregard for Parents & Guardians, etc. #Thread
We are always so quick to point at the government and politicians, to tag them as corrupt, when we, the people are corruption defined.

Babcock University is a good tertiary institution with regards to academics, but I'm afraid, I can't say same for their administration and
management.

I have a sister, who's a 400 level law student there. About 2 or 3 sessions ago, a few days to resumption, the school increased their fees almost triple times the normal fees, without prior notice. Okay that passed (it's one of those things, yeah).

So after my Twitter thread yesterday on how "Nigerian Twitter influencers" make money and an estimate of what they make daily and monthly, I've been getting DM's from people that are interested to learn how they can go about being an "influencer".

Issa #thread!
This thread won't cover how you can become an influencer though. I told y'all the sweet money making parts yesterday and I don't blame anyone for wanting to join the Twitter influencer clique. However, it's not all rosy on this side. Especially for people that are looking to...
...become "influencers".

First of all, I'd like to tell y'all that there are cliques that get all those deals I mentioned. There are people sitting in position of power at top PR agencies and marketing executives at brands that they have connections with. They get deals...

For some of us, too, it /IS/ all men, or has BECOME all men. Saying “Not All Men,” then, is telling us our experience isn’t real, which— fun fact— makes you one of those men.

Instead — 👏🏼 ACTIONABLE ADVICE AHEAD 👏🏼 (thread)
Apologize for your gender (leave the part where you blame society for how you’re socialized until later— she may even bring it up herself! We know!), thereby acknowledging & validating her experience, and ask yourself or even her (!) How can I make THIS experience better?

E.g.
Hang on, I have to get a beer.

And dinner— it’s not /just/ bc of this thread! 🤣

People have been wanting info about my streaming setup, so here's a bit of information about it... It's nothing masterful, but I do what I can because I must. ;) (Somewhat long #thread) Obligatory stream link: twitch.tv/mattlewellyn #SupportSmallStreamers
First, my stream art. My art usually starts somehow based on a @streamlabs theme, even if only for inspiration or to make my custom CSS/JS a lot easier to wrangle. The text is usually done w/ custom browser sources. For more info on Streamlabs OBS visit streamlabs.com/slobs/d/103698…
For custom fonts, I override whatever font selection is made via custom CSS. I embed my fonts as base 64 in the CSS thanks to @FontSquirrel's webfont generator. Base 64 seems to perform the best for locally-hosted HTML files with inline CSS even. Probably because no caching.
