Sometimes love needs a little nudge, so when we saw Bill Easterly making nice

I agree with @JeffDSachs! Hillary's bad policy seems to have been to "support every war" https://t.co/ZoXXmTAJvu

We couldn't help but use the Cupid's modern arrow (sometimes called Photoshop)

Later in the week, looking back over the recent op-ed by Annie Duflo and Dean Karlan, it seemed like even the New York Times was feeling the development love: 

Charles Kenny kicked if off

The poverty o your love for me
Is little salved by Hallmark poetry
That's like going from a dollar 89
To a dollar 93#developmentvalentines

— Charles Kenny (@charlesjkenny) February 12, 2016

I hope you’re feeling enthusiastic,
cuz my need for you is inelastic. #DevelopmentValentines

— Ryan Briggs (@ryanbriggs) February 12, 2016

Can your love for me be real (adjusted to 2012 levels)? #developmentvalentines

Our love spans the globe, infectious

Because the WHO international regulations were too weakly enforced to stop it.#developmentvalentines

— Charles Kenny (@charlesjkenny) February 12, 2016

Valentine, with your treatment effect, I don't need no control group. #developmentvalentines

— William Easterly (@bill_easterly) February 13, 2016

Valentine it sure feels like I love you, but obviously I’ll have to wait for an economist to tell me if I actually do #developmentvalentines

Did surveycto pre-populate this field? Because I can already see that love=1 for us. #developmentvalentines @poverty_action

— Pamela Jakiela (@PJakiela) February 13, 2016

Please don’t make a type 1 error babe, because I can’t handle rejecting our true love @poverty_action #developmentvalentines

Our love knows no bounds, why do the reviewers keep insisting on seeing confidence intervals? #developmentvalentines @charlesjkenny

Roses are red
Violets are blue
My expected utility
Is higher with you.#EconValentines

Roses are red
Violets are blue
l'd like to have confidence
but the sample has too few!#developmentvalentines

Before rushing into things, let's check what prediction markets say on our probability of living happily ever after #developmentvalentines

@saadgulzar Love forgives all offenses & overlooks a multitude of sins. Including p-hacking. #developmentvalentines

.@charlesjkenny #develpopmentvalentines I can’t open the gates to your heart so can I just get the working paper PDF?

Tonight, valentine, let’s let our inhibitions get lost to attrition @poverty_action #developmentvalentines

When I see you I feel pure elation;
Somewhat mitigated after adjusting for inflation#developmentvalentines @charlesjkenny

But the best, for the second year running - still this 2015 tweet:

Someone needs to get @poverty_action's communications person a raise. #developmentvalentines
