Great discussion at our internal #seminar this week! Derrick presented “Do Crises Increase #Parochial Behaviour?”, showing that #COVIDー19 led to a shift toward local giving, especially in highly affected areas, highlighting how crises strengthen in-group preferences. #econtwitter #econsky

📢 New @voxdev.bsky.social article on conflict & food supply chains
Based on forthcoming #AER research (“Spatial Spillovers of #Conflict in #Somalia”), co-authored by Marco Alfano. Conflict shocks travel beyond war zones via supply chains, raising prices in distant markets. #econsky #FoodSecurity
