Long-Run Followups on Major Economic Studies
Most major economic studies include data collection for 1-2 years, but the outcomes (e.g. education, child health) could plausibly impact large sections of one’s life. There is little funding for followups on existing studies.
R&D Gaps (1)
There exists a disconnect between academic research and the practical implementation of development economics, hampering the conversion of theoretical insights into effective real-world interventions. Current mechanisms for delivering public goods and fostering collective cooperation are inefficient, limiting our capacity to coordinate resources and drive meaningful change. Innovative approaches are needed to bridge this gap, ensuring that cutting-edge economic theories can be transformed into actionable policies and scalable interventions that truly improve development outcomes.
