@ryancbriggs @hendersonhl22 @NewIncentives RCT clinics (regardless of trt or control) were > 17 km apart from each other to minimize spillovers. The surveys were done with households in catchment areas of treatment and control facilities - so all evaluation clinics and participants were drawn from similar conditions (2/2)

[Alison Connor @AlisonConnor312]

@ryancbriggs @hendersonhl22 @NewIncentives Just chiming in on the evaluation methods: New Incentives screened clinics to identify a sample that matched their standard operating criteria. Clinics from this pool were randomized to treatment and control (1/2)

Watching so many Kenyan politicians politely concede defeat in this election makes me nostalgic for the time in America when we had that.

@hlanthorn @DanStein_econ What does #Nytspellingbee say?

[Alison Connor @AlisonConnor312]

This is utterly devastating. All I can say is #VOTE!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion in a decision that will lead to all but total bans on the procedure in about half of the U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the majority. https://t.co/KiIUF7WKC1

More evidence from colleagues @IDinsight that cash works! Hopefully this contributes to a much needed shift in how we support refugees.

[IDinsight @IDinsight]

NEW RESEARCH: Can refugees transform their lives with large cash transfers of $1000? And can it work in the context of the dual shocks caused by aid cuts and the COVID-19 pandemic? (1/10) 🧵
