The hidden cost of a firstborn daughter in Africa
Although sex ratios at birth remain relatively balanced in sub-Saharan Africa, this does not necessarily imply a lack of son preference. Analysis of over 100 Demographic and Health Surveys across 34 c...

Opinion | A carbon tariff is the right way to confront China on trade
Climate-friendly tariffs would penalize countries that undercut U.S. companies with dirtier production.
WaPo op-ed supports Carbon Tariffs for three reasons (and my rebuttals):
1. Revenue (that's all tariffs, not just carbon tariffs)
2. Protect US industry (again, all tariffs)
3. The US has no domestic carbon price (huh?)
