The conference showcased how researchers are using new types of data and data-intensive approaches to address critical public health challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries. It highlighted ways that new analytical methods (such as applications of artificial intelligence), and growing troves of new data (produced by social media platforms, internet searches, sensors, and cell phones) are allowing researchers to track, measure, and respond to health interventions and phenomena in real-time, and at lower cost than traditional person-to-person survey methods. This is particularly helpful in a crisis situation like the COVID-19 pandemic, where traditional data collection

World Bank Robert S McNamara Fellowships Program 2021/2022 for aspiring development economics researchers from developing countries

Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program (RSMFP) matches aspiring development economics researchers from developing countries with World Bank research economists creating unique opportunities for the fellows to participate in rigorous policy-relevant research in the World Bank’s Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC). Fellows will be hosted at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. for 8 months (September to May each year) and work under the supervision of researchers in the World Bank’s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) and Development Research Group departments, engaging in high-quality and policy-relevant research projects. By working with World Bank DEC researchers and their external academic collaborators from top universities, fellows will learn current research standards, acquire new econometric skills, and network with leading researchers in their field. They will have a unique opportunity to participate in rigorous policy-relevant research and widen their persp

Introducing our newly hired researchers: part 2 of 3

Introducing our newly hired researchers: part 2 of 3 We continue our series of highlighting our recently recruited researchers. Today we cover researchers who work on the environment, infrastructure and sustainability, and on poverty and public economics – noting again that these labels do not cover the full range of topics being studied. Environment, Infrastructure and Sustainability Gabriel Englander studies how policy and illegal behavior affect wildlife conservation. He hopes to provide cross-support in the areas of marine fisheries, terrestrial wildlife conservation, forests, and land use. He shows in his job market paper that when regulators in Peru try to protect juvenile fish by temporarily closing specific areas of ocean, they inadvertently provide information about the location of schools of fish, resulting in large spillovers that cause the policy to backfire. Gabriel will earn his PhD from UC Berkeley’s Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics this May an
