Methods Measurement Voxdev Although machine learning models using mobile phone data can make poverty targeting faster and more cost effective, traditional survey based methods remain more accurate. A new approach to measuring agricultural change drawing on a randomised controlled trial among rice farmers in #nigeria, we introduce a new method for linking village level interventions with.
Voxdev A year prematurely lost is as bad as a year spent in poverty. aggregating these indices offers a more accurate insight into the progress of nations. When official statistics are unavailable or unreliable, researchers can use a range of forensic methods – such as satellite imagery, mirror trade data, price monitoring, refugee surveys, humanitarian data, and text mining – to extract credible econom. A new measure that doesn’t depend on ‘lines’ – the average time needed to earn a dollar – shows that global poverty has fallen sharply, by about 55% since 1990. Many applied microeconomics papers conclude with a back of the envelope calculation that scales their cross sectional estimates to the aggregate level. these types of aggregate estimates are only valid under very strong assumptions due to the ‘missing intercept’ problem.

Development economists can complement their research with techniques from across the "micro macro divide" to improve the policy relevance of their findings. francisco buera (washington university in st. louis) and joseph kaboski (university of notre dame) join today's podcast.
