My Talk about CGD “Products” at the NBER Summer Institute
Nancy Birdsall
August 18, 2022
I’ve taken pride over the years in CGD’s success as a think-and-do tank in coming up with new “products” (outcomes of think/research) and working with officials around the world to see them adopted and implemented (outcomes of do/outreach and advocacy)). New products that change people’s lives in go...
CGD NOTES
On the Origin and the “Mission” of the Center for Global Development
Nancy Birdsall
June 28, 2022
Before I get to the origin of CGD I want to say something about the concept of “mission.” I attended Catholic schools straight through college, and though before I left college I had left behind being a Catholic, I had apparently internalized the idea of having a mission in life—as in the missionari...
CGD NOTES
I Benefit from “Exorbitant” American Privilege
Nancy Birdsall
June 09, 2022
The story opens in the summer of 1990, when I became the head of a small technical division on environment in the Latin America region of the World Bank. The vice-president of the region told me (in so many words) he wanted an economist to take charge of what he saw as a “too-green” group. I resiste...

Changing Global Challenges and "Aid, Trade, and Development"
Masood Ahmed
et al.
June 02, 2022
Developing countries have made tremendous progress in reducing poverty in the last fifty years, supported by international cooperation and more open societies and economies. However, in recent years, nationalist and populist movements as well as geopolitical fractures have hindered multilateralism, ...

Four Analysts, Three Windows: More on “Casual Sexism” in the Early 1970s
Nancy Birdsall
May 12, 2022
I was 26 years old and three months pregnant when I got a job in the summer of 1972 as an “analyst” at a USAID-funded program in Washington, DC, on think tank row (now home of the Brookings Institution, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and the Carnegie Endowment for International ...
CGD NOTES
How I got Lucky and Didn’t Get into the US Foreign Service (1966)
Nancy Birdsall
May 05, 2022
Women apparently attribute success to luck; men to competence. I’m a successful woman—family and career and all that, and I don’t discount my own competence. But still the reality is that besides the luck of being born in America (see episode 1 in this series), which American men not just women tend...

Nancy Birdsall

CGD NOTES
Born in America
Nancy Birdsall
April 28, 2022
The situation in Ukraine today, with over a million people fleeing the Russian advance, reminds me of Emil. I was in sixth grade, 10 years old, in a Catholic parochial school in New Jersey, when Emil joined our class. It was The situation in Ukraine today, with over a million people fleeing the Russ...

How to Achieve Inclusive Growth
Branko Milanovic
et al.
January 26, 2022
Rising inequality and widespread poverty, social unrest and polarization, gender and ethnic disparities, declining social mobility, economic fragility, unbalanced growth due to technology and globalization, and existential danger from climate change are urgent global concerns. These issues are inter...

Evangelicals Picked the Wrong COVID Debate. Here’s the One We Should Be Having.
Nancy Birdsall
et al.
November 18, 2021
With the COVID booster finally available to everyone who had their final vaccination more than six months ago, this is the more serious debate I wish we were having: Should I be going to get my third Covid shot (booster), or should I refuse it in protest and solidarity with people in less ...
