It is high time for a @vox_dev catch up!! I am teaching our awesome @MITSloanFellows this summer in a short intensive class (for more on the Sloan Fellows MBA program see mitsloan.mit.edu/fellows/). Really fun & engaging class, loving it! But now time for a huge @vox_dev catch up
Before I do that remember as part of our 1 year anniversary, we launched an audio section, VoxDevTalks: voxdev.org/talks. Check it out! See the five short audios on how evidence is used in practice. More of these short “use of evidence” audios coming over the next weeks…
First 5 shorts: goo.gl/hia73D by @rglenner (Chief Economist @DFID_UK) #ElliotHarris (Asst SG for Econ Dev & Chief Economist @UNDESA) #StefanDercon (@BlavatnikSchool & ex-Chief Economist @DFID_UK), #ArifHusain (Chief Economist @WFP @WFPChiefEcon) #RobinBurgess (@LSEEcon)
We just hit the 10 month mark since @vox_dev launched!! We have reached 85K users, with 250K page views from 187 countries! Huge thanks to all our amazing contributors, a phenomenal Board (#RobinBurgess #ChangTaiHsieh #ChrisWoodruff) & a fantastic Managing Editor @NidhiParekh7
To celebrate our 10 month anniversary, here are my favorite 10 @vox_dev columns. Of course, it was almost an impossible task to limit myself to just 10, can’t wait for our 20 month anniversary!! So, please think of these simply as about where my (biased) research interests lie...
First up, and in no particular order whatsoever, #DaveDonaldson & #DavidAtkin from @MITEcon: “High trade costs and mark-ups on transportation within African countries reduce the surplus and market access of remote consumers” goo.gl/oVeKBE
