While most people know GiveWell for our Top Charities (which still get most funding), we're increasingly funding promising opportunities outside that framework.

What's changed? 🧵

[GiveWell @GiveWell]

We're hiring a Program Officer to build our new Livelihoods grantmaking portfolio, focusing on increasing income and consumption for people in extreme poverty.

We're looking for 10+ years of relevant experience. Remote eligible and $205-$228k.

@_alice_evans @femonomics, @juddkessler, and @ColinD_Sullivan have a great AER paper on how to elicit employer preferences without deception/audit studies: https://t.co/xXTzGrnIiR so some academics care (though, sadly, not enough to ensure that this method displaces most audit studies)

[Stanford King Center on Global Development @StanfordKingCtr]

PhD student @econ_mark received support from the King Center for his experiment in #Pakistan studying why people are reluctant to share information about new technologies, adding to the theoretical literature on social learning models. https://t.co/qJaGyOEdUU

@mattbrown_econ This fresh paper by Colonelli, Neto, and
@edoardoteso seems related and uses the amazingly comprehensive Brazilian labor market data https://t.co/WWrwAu5QWC

[Edoardo Teso @edoardoteso]

How does partisan affiliation affect labor market outcomes? In a new working paper, Emanuele Colonnelli, Valdemar Pinho Neto, and I leverage new administrative data, a field experiment, and new large scale surveys to shed light on this question.
