Friends and #EconTwitter: I have started a petition to request the AEA to help pursue libel and threats on the EJMR. Please spread the word and sign if you are able.

Diverting food from hungry people is unconscionable. Yet, it is happening in #Ethiopia. @WFP is rolling out comprehensive measures to ensure life-saving assistance reaches and is used by the most vulnerable. Those found responsible must be held accountable.
