Development isn't charity
It's the bridge between what is
And what could be
Built by those who dare to imagine
That their children deserve more
Than their parents had to accept

How can academia improve at serving students and society in times of social upheaval and indescribable pain? We believe developing countries with research is incomplete when universities across North America are in need of a scientific revolution on their campuses too.

Learning how to run experiments in continuous time can make for realistic treatment effects to help stakeholders (across development, medicine, biotech and pharmacy) make and benefit from better decisions in these complex times: https://developmenteconomicsx.com/how-to-measure-the-impact-of-time-varying-interventions-using-randomized-experiments/

1/ Does causality have a color? In this . paper, we use graphs to model data or systems, and diagonal Ramsey numbers to estimate causal effects. What are diagonal Ramsey numbers and how can they help us with causal impact? Let’s find out!

Do you know how complex and interconnected the world is? Everything we use or consume depends on a network of suppliers, from raw materials to finished products.

For example, the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger plane, has millions of parts made by over a thousand companies.

Governments also rely on many organizations to provide public services and goods. But what happens when something goes wrong in this network? A natural disaster, a cyberattack, or a human error can cause a chain reaction of problems that affect many people and businesses. How can we prevent or reduce these risks?

That's what the paper "Supply chain self-control” by Kweku Opoku-Agyemang tries to answer. It proposes a new approach to help firms and governments improve their logistics and development. It shows how to use self-control mechanisms to make supply chains more resilient and efficient. It also explains how human behavior plays a key role in supply chain management. Whether it's about fighting famines, saving lives in emergencies, or connecting small and large businesses, this paper offers valuable insights and solutions.

How can we know if an intervention works or not, when it comes to helping people around the world achieve their dreams, from Ghana to the Philippines and globally? 🤔

In a new paper, Kweku Opoku-Agyemang proposes a new method for conducting experiments and measuring the effect of different interventions on the entire distribution of outcomes related to improving the lives of the next generation. He has created a new statistical estimator that compares the difference between the two groups over time---as presents relevant mathematical results. 📊

The paper also extends the concept of the effect of an intervention on those who comply with it, to the context of outcomes that have different shapes and features. The paper provides novel insights and methods for conducting experiments and measuring effects in complex settings. 🌎
