WORKING PAPERS
Costing a Data Revolution - Working Paper 383
Gabriel Demombynes
and
Justin Sandefur
October 20, 2014
The lack of reliable development statistics for many poor countries has led the U.N. to call for a “data revolution” (United Nations, 2013).
WORKING PAPERS
The Political Economy of Bad Data: Evidence from African Survey & Administrative Statistics - Working Paper 373
Justin Sandefur
and
Amanda Glassman
July 14, 2014
Across multiple African countries, discrepancies between administrative data and independent household surveys suggest official statistics systematically exaggerate development progress. We provide evidence for two distinct explanations of these discrepancies.
WORKING PAPERS
The Price of Empowerment: Experimental Evidence on Land Titling in Tanzania - Working Paper 369
Daniel Ayalew Ali et al.
May 22, 2014
We report on a randomized field experiment using price incentives to address both economic and gender inequality in land tenure formalization.
DATA SETS
We Just Ran Twenty-Three Million Queries of the World Bank's Website - Working Paper 362
Sarah Dykstra et al.
April 25, 2014
Much of the data underlying global poverty and inequality estimates is not in the public domain, but can be accessed in small pieces using the World Bank's PovcalNet online tool.
