A few of us (some economics and sociology graduate students and myself) have started a new blog. The subject of the blog is economic development and public policy. It's a space to pose and reflect on the big questions. The current dialog focuses on foreign aid, with specific references to the Sachs/Easterly debate.
Some of you might have noticed that I've added a few new links. For those of you interested in economic development, Chris Blattman's blog is an excellent resource and chock full of thought provoking post. If you want your daily dose of behavioral economics, check out "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely, in addition to stalwart blogger (and Yale econ PhD student) Santosh Anagol over at the "Brown Man's Burden." Finally, Tim Harford's "Undercover Economist" applies neoclassical economic theory (i.e. rational choice) to a wide range of phenomena.
