Best of #econtwitter - JMPs 2022 special edition, part four
If your thread (or your student’s, or your colleague’s) is missing below, submissions are as always extremely welcome.
Previously: 2022 JMPs part one, part two, part three. Editions from prior years are here.

@berkeleyecon @uvyriy To study this question, Vita compiles and georeferences the list of blacklisting *villages* (!) and links them to present-day locations. Blacklisting restricted trade and other economic activity, punishing rural communities for failure to meet agricultural output targets.
Here is my JMP: tom-cui.com/2022/09/30/lot…
