Perceptions, Quality, and Uncertainty in Ghanaian Fertiliser Markets
Fertiliser use among smallholder farmers in Africa is often thought of as a pathway to improved agricultural productivity and reduced poverty. However, farmers’ perceptions of substandard quality of fertiliser may hinder adoption. To examine this, we analyse perceptions of fertiliser quality along the input supply chain in Ghana and also chemically test collected fertiliser samples. We find that agricultural input dealers perceive fertiliser qual…
More than a safety net: Ethiopia’s flagship public works program increases tree cover
More than one billion people worldwide receive cash or in-kind transfers from social protection programs. In low-income countries, these transfers are often conditioned on participation in labor-intensive public works to rehabilitate local infrastructure or natural resources. Despite their popularity, the environmental impacts of public works programs remain largely undocumented. We quantify the impact on tree cover of Ethiopia’s Productive Safet…

What is the optimal locus of control for social assistance programs? Evidence from the Productive Safety Net Program in Ethiopia
Promoting blood donation through social media: Evidence from Brazil, India and the USA
Social media has the potential to encourage prosocial behaviors at scale, yet very little causal evidence exists on the impact of related efforts. Blood donation is a particularly difficult, but essential prosocial behavior that is often critically undersupplied. We examine the effect of Facebook's blood donation tool on voluntary blood donation. We partnered with four major blood banks in the United States covering 363 collection facilities in 4…

What is a “meal”? Comparative methods of auditing carbon offset compliance for fuel-efficient cookstoves
The Way of Health Insurance

A Statistical Study in Causes of Poverty
EVERY student of statistics dealing with poverty is more or less familiar with the weaknesses and limitations of "casecounting" as a method of determining the share borne by different factors in causing human misery. This method, in its ordinary form, consists in simply assigning each case of distress to its most prominent cause and then counting the total number of cases assigned to each cause. It is evident to anyone that results so gained must…
