Great to be at the @onthinktanks conference this week with @BrinDatema for @CGDev (and to visit our colleagues in London)!

Some takeaways on the #OTTconference 2023👇🧵

[Benjamin Soskis @BenSoskis]

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.

[Amanda Glassman @glassmanamanda]

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

[Brin Datema @BrinDatema]

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
