Money talks is already one of my favourite podcasts. Would highly recommend this episode with Michael’s interview… crisp, thoughtful, and packed with evidence.

I talked with @TheEconomist at length about my research on the fiscal effects of immigration — and why most studies are way off the mark.



Very proud of this work and thrilled to have worked with local communities and their mayors, including @erionveliaj and his team in #Tirana - watch the heat-mapping video here: worldbank.org/en/news/video/…

🌡️🏙️ Albanian #cities are tackling the urban heat island effect head-on. Discover how we collaborated with local communities in Tirana, Shkodra, and Vlora to shed light on rising urban temperatures. wrld.bg/kM1j50QqkFx #Albania



Reposting this because the @wto ERSD was one of the most interesting and rewarding places I worked in as a young researcher…

We are looking for four PhD economists to join the @wto ‘s Economic Research and Statistics Division. Please take a look at the following link for more information about this exciting opportunity: wto.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

Thrilled to kick off 2024 with this renewed partnership in #Bulgaria Together (also with @EUinmyRegion) we hope to tackle fiendishly complex challenges that hold back the development of regions - especially those that are lagging but have great potential @Carli_bv

Greatly looking forward to this partnership with the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works. The World Bank will help Bulgaria draw on global best practices for integrated territorial investments in its poorest regions. Read more👇 mrrb.bg/bg/svetovnata-…

The rise in the Earth’s surface temperature has been associated with an increased frequency of extreme weather events in cities – such as heat, droughts, and floods. This @WBG_Cities report discusses how urban development and climate change interact: wrld.bg/HxmU50Pxv23

See new paper that shows that the rising intensity and frequency of droughts leads 🟰 to faster urbanisation BUT Cities grow even faster in hotter, drier, and poorer places AND In Sahelian cities - this leads to far more ‘informal’ growth documents.worldbank.org/en/publication…

This week we lived the world hottest day. Fact: we are not on the path to limit global warming - what gives? more on this👇🏾

Collaboration between governments, urban planners, and #policymakers is essential to create climate-resilient cities. Promoting research, data-driven decision-making, and community engagement can help build urban environments that withstand climate shocks: wrld.bg/eqXt50OyanG

With 70% of the world's population expected to live in cities by 2050, green urban planning is vital. Cities in low- & lower-middle-income countries face the most risk of climate-related hazards like floods and heat stress. Building resilience is key: wrld.bg/mEkL50OCiQW
