Cool paper from Egypt in AER @AEAjournals by @gharadbryan, @deankarlan, @adammosman on the impacts of offering big loans to small businesses. While effects are moderate on average, machine learning techniques show that top performers benefit more. @JPAL_MENA

Super excited to see this paper in the AER. Started it in 2014, and learned so much in the process. @deankarlan @gharadbryan @ARNagy01 @SarahWahby @Mohamed57545989

Excited to start the New Year by immersing myself in @JPAL_SA's 'Shaping Policy, Transforming Lives' exhibition— a fusion of science and arts that brings out tales of change, hope, and transformation from across India.

It's held at Bikaner House from Jan 5-7 - don't miss it!
