Thanks so much to @WhartonPA for recognizing and awarding our research on Generative AI for entrepreneurs in Africa best paper. And a big shout out to Nick Otis @nickgotis presenting below (what a great photo)!
Congrats to the incredible team from @BerkeleyHaas who won 1st in the #PAC11 White Paper Competition!
Your paper The Uneven Impact of Generative AI on Entrepreneurial Performance showed how tasks selected for #AI assistance shape who will benefit from Generative AI.

I’d like to see more studies of how AI is being used internationally, now that GPT-4 class models are available in 169+ countries (including for free)
There is a lot of work in the US & Europe. I have seen 2 nice studies in Africa (teacher & entrepreneur mentoring👇). What else?

Cool study and give @nickgotis a follow! He’s in our PhD program at Haas and is one to watch out for in the years to come!

Cool new study where entrepreneurs in Kenya were given access to AI mentors. This is different than other studies as the AI was limited to advice, not doing.
High performers got a big 20% boost to performance, but low performers took a hit as they could not implement the advice.

Still hanging out on twitter...err...X?

A large amount of the world’s population has no access to grid-based #electricity & relies on #offgrid lighting solutions. This study explores #consumerbehavior & the inefficiencies in using rechargeable lamp technology.

Today I shared a little about my day-to-day work environment. Specifically:
- VSCode with R + Data.Table + Copilot
- Running on Google Cloud VM
- Parallel processing techniques
@fetzert & I want to promote knowledge diffusion for applied research practices. DM to get involved!
Thanks a lot team - and thanks @pj_lambert for sharing your setup and thanks everybody for joining in today's knowledge exchange session. Learning from one another is key to boosting research productivity and finding quick ways to learn or expand skillsets. #Economics #Research

Something I've been working on & graphs I can't resist sharing...
Post-2008, load-shedding has been instituted nationally for ~5600 hours (~230 days). Accounting for severity of the different stages, the typical household has been without power for ~830 hours (~35 straight days)

*Huge news* France launches "Fund for Innovation in Development" chaired by Esther Duflo @NobelPrize @MITEcon @JPAL. Inspired by @GlobalDevLab @USAID + @GlobalInnovFund.
Gov funding mechanisms for innovation + evidence are too rare & very needed.

If we want that more people devote their energy to making progress against large global problems, we should make sure that more people know that it is possible to make progress against such problems.
