You guys are among my favorite people, I consider you guys as both my Guru(who makes me a better person) and my friend(with whom I can strongly disagree with as well). Thank you for doing this, lots of love ❤
31:04 - 32:30: Pratap Bhanu Mehta, during our thesis writing seminar, had succinctly put a similar idea: "The logic of discovery is different from the logic of presentation. In your thesis, you need to present your idea not how you discovered them" (not an exact quote, but roughly what I remember).
I believe there might be a correlation due to alphabetical order. When phone books were relevant, many new businesses chose names starting with the letter "A" so that people browsing the book would be more likely to encounter their business first.
I think there is a typo in the authors of "Trade misinvoicing: A channel for de facto capital account openness" in the notes. One of the authors mentioned is Abhijit Banerjee but the paper mentions Abhijit Sen Gupta. (I was surprised that Ajay could have a paper together with Abhijit Banerjee given his supposed disagreements with him on RCTs)
Abhijit Banerjee's Nobel citation maybe about popularizing randomized field trials in economics; but before he embarked on that he had obtained tenure at MIT as an economic theorist.
