Business as usual? Small business responses to compound disasters in coastal New York city and New Jersey
Small businesses serve critical functions in community disaster recovery, providing essential goods and services, employment, and gathering spaces during times of crisis. However, many small businesses face escalating threats to their continued operation as they confront compound disasters. These critical functions and growing risks are especially evident among food-related small businesses, which provide vital goods and services to local communi…
Balancing socio-economic development goals and coping with climate impacts
Relaxing Credit and Information Constraints
Low fertilizer use by smallholder farmers continues to limit crop yields in sub-Saharan Africa. We study the longer-term outcomes of a field experiment conducted between 2014 and 2016, which found that plot-specific fertilizer recommendations combined with a subsidy increased fertilizer use and maize yields. We return in 2019 and find that effects dissipate after the subsidy is discontinued. Our follow-up results suggest that credit constraints s…
How does delegating decisions to communities affect the provision and use of a public service? Evidence from a field experiment in Bangladesh
Most development practitioners would list engaging communities in the provision of public services among best practices for improving access.

This field experiment comp…

One of the options was index insurance that was the same as commercial products sold locally. Participants exhibited clear preferences for insurance contracts with higher frequency payouts and for insurance over other risk management options, including high interest savi…
