Very happy to have been included in this group of fantastic papers on bureaucracy & development at #NEUDC2023 hosted by @HarvardCID, other than the positive surprise at seeing the schedule that I already know all the other presenters/coauthors :)

#NEUDC2023 session Political Economy: Bureaucracy focused on bureaucratic turnover, private returns to bureaucratic appointments, corruption, and trade. Chaired by Jaya Wen. 🖇️Read their papers: bit.ly/3MtVOGM
