When Bangladesh launched its national immunisation program in 1979, a third of their 500,000 annual child deaths were from vaccine-preventable diseases. Today, the country is officially polio-free and has dramatically reduced child mortality. bit.ly/4kBJhQt

We wanted to verify the evidence behind >$1 billion in grants we've made to our top charities — so we asked @I4Replication to see if they could get the data to replicate the underlying RCTs. It didn't go great... 🧵

New Working Paper. LEGO movie summary of main result 😀 For more results see NBER Working Paper (nber.org/papers/w32899). Amazing team: @campos_mercade @meier_armando @Devin_G_Pope @f_h_schneider @ErikWengstrom
I'm excited to release a new working paper today. When we paid people ~$20, they were 13pp more likely to take the Covid Booster shot. This guaranteed financial incentive worked better than lottery and charitable incentives in our large, pre-registered field experiment.
