What's the best way to deliver coaching in graduation-style anti-poverty programs? One-on-one, or in groups? In RCTs from 3 countries, both work equally well—but group coaching is ~20% cheaper! w/ @deankarlan @roccozizzamia @lassebrune (and more!) nber.org/papers/w34309

Incredible tool. Look at Khayelitsha in 2024 vs 1984. It's one thing knowing the Apartheid govt dumped people into what were just dunes, and another thing actually seeing it. Unfortunately it seems the historical resolution over District 6 is too poor to see the forced removals.

@roccozizzamia presents evidence from unbundling BRAC's ultra-poor programme by testing a reduction in the frequency of coaching in Bangladesh. Key result: no differential impact on household outcomes. Coaching matters but does not need to be every week! #ADE2023

2) the role that coaching plays within ultra-poor graduation programs – specifically, how sensitive the welfare benefits of graduation interventions are to the intensity and the type of coaching inputs in Bangladesh.
