I recently gave a lecture summarizing some of my research across various contexts, all showing the importance of looking beyond test scores in evaluation work. It was fun to pull together. A copy of the slides is here. works.bepress.com/c_kirabo_j…

Short, fun interview with my colleague and co-author @RdoseiOsei .
“Technology is not going anywhere, so it is critical that we understand how to leverage it in agriculture,” says @JPAL affiliate @RdoseiOsei. Read Robert’s reflections on the role of technology in agriculture in our latest #AffiliateSpotlight: j-p.al/s8h
ALT A quote with a headshot of Robert Darko Osei reads "Technology is not going anywhere, so it is critical that we understand how to leverage it in agriculture, especially the impact of technology on smallholder farmers...And in sub-Saharan Africa, it is even more timely." -Robert Darko Osei, J-PAL Affiliate, DAISI Co-Chair

Info from peers seems unreasonably important for the adoption of tech. Hossein argues that returns to new tech in agriculture vary wrt local conditions. Farmers know the local conditions of peers, but not of strangers. That contextual knowledge makes peer info super valuable.

Check out Kensuke's research. You're considering a policy (maybe a conditional cash transfer to encourage education). Will it work? How best to use info from past CCTs in other places? How about experience with related policies (say UCTs) in the same place?
