Finally got around to reading it. What an awesome paper (and example of how careful descriptive stats can be enlightening)!
How did such a large share of the world’s population escape extreme poverty? Paul Niehaus, Tom Vogl and I were curious and are excited to share with you what we've found.

“The share of the global population living in extreme poverty fell dramatically from an estimated 44% in 1981 to 9% in 2019” 📉 Mostly over lifetimes, not over generations

Dean Karlan's job at USAID was LITERALLY to improve the efficiency of its programs.
DOGE is clearly not actually after cutting fraud and waste. And its actions will clearly make the US weaker while also making the world a worse place.

Why Dean Karlan, chief economist of USAID, resigned on Tuesday
He was hired in 2022 so the aid agency could get 'more bang for our buck' with its projects. He tried to reach out to help in the rebuilding of the agency. On Tuesday he tendered his resignation.
