@AreBerkeley So many of us are so indebted to her... She was SO generous with her time. Yes, her feedback could be tough (and terrifying!) but it was because she demanded excellence from all of her students. Forever grateful to have gotten to learn from an absolute legend.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our esteemed colleague, ARE Professor Betty Sadoulet. A cherished member of our Berkeley community, she touched countless lives through her teaching, research, and mentorship. She will be deeply missed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth…

Betty was like a mother to all ARE development economists. One generation after the other, her rigor, passion for new knowledge was inspirational. Her questions, a terror in seminars. And the capacity to adapt to new topics and methods astonishing. She will be deeply missed

Here's another interesting paper on the NGO-effect in RCTs. The NGO-effect is one reason why findings from RCTs often do not scale. This one here is on an educational program in China. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I would love to see more work on AI as advisor to humans, rather than AI just doing work. This controlled study in Kenya found top small business entrepreneurs got a stunning 15% boost in profits when given an AI mentor, but low performers struggled with mentorship & did worse.
