I’m proud to have helped to put together these 5 case studies of some of @CGDev work over its last 20 yrs. I hope they’ll be of interest based on their specific content but I also think they’re worth attn for their approach to the challenge of determining causal attribution.
We assess influence & impact @cgdev in many ways-these case studies by @BenSoskis+ look at 5 initiatives, how we've contributed. Some hits, some misses but a record of persistence, rigor, engagement that is changing conversations & outcomes in real world https://t.co/NPmikYXSP7

@itsmostlyfisca1@glassmanamanda & @elenismitham explore how #health#taxes (tobacco, alcohol, etc.) + support from World Bank, IMF could boost revenue & better health: https://t.co/pHEMsonsVt.
Big thanks to Claudio Agostini (@agostini_cl), Amanda Glassman (@glassmanamanda), Ruud de Mooij (@MooijRuud), Roberto Schatan, Chris Lane (@itsmostlyfisca1) & viewers for joining this #CGDTalks on excise taxes in Chile. Keep an eye out for more on health taxes in 2021 @CGDev
According to @agostini_cl: Given that Chile has tax rates lower than the optimal in some cases (fuels, alcohol, sugar), increasing them is a silver bullet: increases revenue and improves economic efficiency #CGDTalks@CGDev
