RIP David Dollar
Gone too soon. I didn't always love what he had to say, but when I was in grad school and in CGD's early days, David defined the intellectual consensus we all grappled with.
"Growth is good for the poor"
"Aid only works if countries get their policies right"
How does #democracy cause economic growth? In their WZB discussion paper @BoeseVanessa (@WZB_Democracy) & @MEDevEcon find that freedom of expression, fair elections & legislative-executive constraints are important drivers for growth effects. #EconTwitter

Who believes any of this drivel? And more importantly, who’s interested? If Saudi Arabia next funded a cricket league, Gushi Rish! would be the first to cheer for them.

Nottingham is a nice city, and the department is wonderful. So if you are on the market, but for whatever reason, do not get offered a job at Essex (see our ad here: https://t.co/34x80fHEwb), then do consider Nottingham ;-)
