Tahir Andrabi, @gui2de_GU's Benjamin Daniels, and Professor Jishnu Das surveyed households 4 years after the “great” earthquake in Northern Pakistan, to learn how the earthquake affected families in the long run, after accounting for the effects of aid.

Informal public transit is booming in the developing world but so are accidents. Early work by Georgetown's @gui2de_GU has been influential in use of experiments to test options for making it safer. Thread from @davidfromterra reports on new and promising research results.

[Chris Blattman @cblatts]

Join! This is where I argue that the root of all conflict, underdevelopment, and as policy is overcentralized power. How so much aid and diplomacy makes this worse. And why elections is a naive answer.

[gui²de @gui2de_GU]

Join us and @CGDev TOMORROW, Tuesday May 10th, for the next seminar in the Future of Development series. @cblatts will discuss his new book "Why We Fight" with comments from @kcroninfurman. In person at Georgetown or virtually on zoom. Register here: https://t.co/ZiAU7cBQnE
