Chris Blattman's Blog: Cheap advice, twice

I really enjoy his blog...if I haven't said before. The reason I linked this post of his is there are a list of blogs I had never heard of that focused on global poverty. (I didn't know the WB blogged!) He also gave a shout out to the Institution, so I have to give him props.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many world poverty research blogs, but the ones that are out there are pretty good: CGD, Dani Rodrik, and the World Bank blogs (1, 2 and 3) come to mind. There are other poverty-related blogs (many of which I link to frequently) but none that commonly highlight new research.


The summer is coming along well, may get a job soon at Brookings with one of the Development centers. Last night's HH went well, though I found out this morning that at least one of the new students couldn't find us. (Do we have a phone list?) I am also considering going out of the country for winter break to get some on the ground experience. I am in the very preliminary stages, but would love some advice.
