Annual Report 2014–2015 32

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) is a hub for research on global development, with a network of over 60 academic researchers extending across the University of California, Stanford University, and the University of Washington. Our faculty affiliates design and test solutions for the problems of poverty, generating actionable evidence for policy-makers in less developed countries. Using rigorous field trials, behavioral experiments, and tools from data science, we measure and maximize the impacts of economic development programs throughout the world.

Financial Inclusion

In partnership with governments and the private sector, CEGA designs and tests financial services that reduce vulnerability and promote inclusion of low-income households in the formal financial sector. At the heart of this initiative is the Financial Inclusion Lab (FIL), made possible by a partnership with Visa. Launched in 2015, FIL will fund research that integrates insights from electronic payments data with behavioral economics, finance, and econometrics.

The new program will track progress toward global financial inclusion, using Visa transactions records to understand the behaviors and preferences of households in emerging markets. It will also support rigorous evaluations of innovative products and services designed to bring households into the formal financial sector.

In early 2015, CEGA published a post in the Guardian describing this program – and exploring how “big data” will change the way financial inclusion is both measured and understood. FIL, which integrates economic analysis with machine learning and other techniques from computer science, will make important contributions to this space.

Also in 2014-15, CEGA launched two new evaluations of GiveDirectly, an organization that gives cash grants directly to poor people, using a mobile money platform. The organization was co-founded by CEGA affiliate Paul Niehaus. The two studies, in Kenya and Rwanda, are part of a broader effort to benchmark the impact of structured development interventions (like vocational training or health education) against the direct provision of cash.

CEGA’s work is organized into a series of initiatives that each address a specific challenge. Our initiatives fund coordinated portfolios of projects, with the resulting lessons synthesized into libraries or decision tools for policy-makers. Initiatives are organized by sectors (like agriculture or health) and by approaches (like measurement and transparency) that help improve the quality of our evidence.

Agriculture

The majority of the world’s poorest households depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. How can we make farming more profitable? CEGA’s longest standing initiative is the Agricultural Technology Adoption Initiative (ATAI), an effort to increase the productivity of smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. This $14 million program is run jointly with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) at MIT. Since 2009, ATAI has funded 51 experiments in 14 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Each year, ATAI invites researchers to pitch new strategies for accelerating the profitable use of technology by poor farmers. In 2014-15, we awarded $685,000 to CEGA affiliates to test their ideas, including studies of irrigation pumps in Kenya, soil quality diagnostics in India, innovative financial products in Niger and Kenya, and flood tolerant rice in India.

As each study is completed, it becomes part of a powerful body of knowledge. In November 2014, ATAI presented a portfolio of novel credit products to over 300 representatives from commercial banks, insurance companies, and government officials at a special conference on the challenges of agricultural lending, organized by the Central Bank of Tanzania. The initiative also presented a set of policy insights distilled from its portfolios of research on insurance products and extension services.

Technology

Development Impact Lab DIL

Technology plays a central role in development. Yet there are no guarantees that welfare-enhancing technologies actually benefit the poorest households. Dysfunctional markets, institutions, and behavioral norms can all slow the take-up of promising innovations.

To accelerate the impact of technology on development, CEGA launched the Development Impact Lab (DIL) in 2013. This $20 million, USAID-funded initiative improves the design and evaluation of technologies for developing regions. It is co-managed with the Blum Center for Developing Economies.

DIL funds teams of researchers who work across disciplines to design solutions to the problems of poverty. In the last year, DIL has institutionalized this approach with the launch of a new PhD minor in Development Engineering at UC Berkeley, as well as a new open access journal with the same title.

In 2014-15, we ran a series of competitions attracting more than 100 applications. DIL-funded projects include a new strategy for poverty mapping that leverages “big data” from teleco networks, a low-cost cell tower that provides phone connectivity for remote rural communities, and a mobile application providing Indian households with information on intermittent water supply.

This year, CEGA also hosted two major tech-focused events. In November 2014 we hosted a USAID Technical Convening, bringing together over 300 academics, students, practitioners, and industry partners. In May 2015, Google hosted CEGA’s annual Evidence to Action event, focused on “Engineering for Development.” The keynote address was given by Ann Mei Chang, Executive Director of the US Global Development Lab.

Network includes 75 researchers innovating across a range of disciplines: 13% Computer Science, 45% Social Science, 23% Engineering, 19% Natural Science and Medicine.

Funded a portfolio of 23 projects in 10 countries, each lead by CEGA affiliates.

CEGA affiliate projects include new technologies for agriculture, energy, financial inclusion, governance, health, housing, measurement, and infrastructure.

DIL in 2014–2015

Awarded CEGA affiliates over $650,000 in research grants and ATAI researchers released three new working papers.

HealthBehavioral Economics in Reproductive Health Initiative BERI

CEGA’s health program operates at the nexus of behavioral economics and global health, with a focus on advancing the use of technologies to improve health outcomes. At the center of the portfolio is the Behavioral Economics in Reproductive Health Initiative (BERI), which released a review paper1 in 2014 and received renewed support from the Hewlett Foundation.

In 2014, the BERI portfolio added a large-scale evaluation of BRAC’s adolescent girls’ empowerment program in Tanzania. This year, we also held a grant competition to support pilot research. New pilot projects include studies of marriage customs and child investments in Pakistan, a social incentive for childhood immunization in Pakistan, and the effects of hunger on time preferences.

Fall 2014 marked the first annual Conference on Behavioral Health Economics, organized by CEGA at UC Berkeley. The one-day event convened over 80 researchers across economics, psychology, public health, policy, and business, providing a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary dialogue and creative research aimed at solving persistent health challenges. A second annual conference will be held in 2015.

Awarded $524,000 in research grants awarded to CEGA affiliates.

Launched 5 new research projects.

Brought in over 1800 unique visitors to the BERI website.

Climate and Environment

12 CEGA faculty members (spanning across economics, engineering, business, and public policy) are conducting rigorous evaluations in the climate and environment space.

To date, over 20 studies have been completed in 9 different countries.

Climate and Environment in 2014–2015

To address the changing climate, CEGA is searching for solutions that promote clean energy, pollution control, resilience to disasters, and natural resource management. But an important first step is understanding the complex interplay between environment and economic development. For this work, our researchers leverage micro-satellite imagery, “smart” meters, mobile data streams, and other innovations to capture trends and outcomes in the environment.

In 2014, CEGA affiliates estimated the impact of tropical storms on national economic growth, by combining macroeconomic indicators with heterogeneous weather data.2 Another group used utility data from Mexico to demonstrate how rising incomes and temperature change are driving the use of air conditioners.3 These studies will guide the future design of government policies and industry practices.

CEGA is also funding the evaluation of interventions to drive green growth, including a “smart” solar microgrid in rural India and a smartphone app (called GridWatch) that monitors power grid outages in real time, through the crowd. To showcase the range of technologies being used in energy and environment research, CEGA co-hosted a workshop on remote sensing in August 2014, in partnership with the World Bank’s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) group.

Measure-ment

Awarded 7 pilot grants to interdisciplinary teams of engineering and social science students at University of California, Berkeley.

Integrating new data technologies into NGO’s work through 3 ongoing research projects.

Supporting 15 CEGA affiliates working on measurement-related projects across 5 different countries.

Measurement in 2014–2015

Tracking progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals will require accurate, reliable measurement of development indicators. CEGA launched a measurement initiative in 2014, focused on identifying new technologies and techniques for high-frequency, high-resolution, and cost-effective tracking of development outcomes. The Center currently runs two programs under this initiative.

The Goldilocks Project is funded by Google.org and co-managed with Innovations for Poverty Action. It seeks to identify “right-fit” monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems for development agencies, by using new technologies and techniques to streamline data collection. In the last year, CEGA has supported partnerships with Silicon Valley start-ups and NGOs (including Premise, Skybox, Potential Energy, and One Acre Fund) to test new tools in the field. Investments include a mobile-based application to track market prices and food insecurity; temperature sensors for measuring cookstove adoption; and high-resolution satellite imagery to measure changes in crop yields on small-scale farms. Lessons from these deployments will be integrated into a “Goldilocks toolkit” available in late 2015. Also this year, CEGA joined the Global Resilience Partnership, with an initiative to accelerate Development Data Analytics. With BRAC, the Center co-hosted a workshop in June 2015 on “Technologies for Crisis Response and Resilience,” including presenters from Premise, Digital Globe, Planet Labs, and the World Bank. The event explored the potential of new technologies like micro-satellites, sensor networks, and mobile computing to measure changes during climate, social, and economic shocks.

Trans-parency

As demand for evidence-based policy grows, researchers will be expected to provide more reliable, actionable insights for decision-makers. To improve the integrity and transparency of our own research, CEGA has established the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS).

BITSS is building an international network of researchers committed to open social science. In December 2014, we gathered 70 leading researchers for the initiative’s annual meeting, which sets the agenda for change within the research community. In June 2015 nearly 50 junior faculty, students, and research professionals joined the 2nd annual BITSS Summer Institute, which provides in-depth training in new technologies and work practices that facilitate open, reproducible, and transparent research.

Also in Spring 2015, the initiative’s leadership launched a graduate course in research transparency and collaborated with the Center for Open Science to published the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines.4 The TOP guidelines will help the editors of academic journals to increase the reproducibility and openness of scholarly publications.

Finally, BITSS launched two new funding opportunities this year to incentivize the adoption of best research practices (and reward researchers who have led the charge). The Leamer-Rosenthal Prizes for Open Social Science will recognize junior researchers and instructors who are advancing transparency in their disciplines. The Social Science Meta-Analysis and Research Transparency (SSMART) grants will fund the development of new methods, analyses, and tools that advance the “science of science”.

Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences BITSS

Convened a two-day Annual Meeting in December 2014 with over 70 attendies.

Organized the three-day BITSS Summer Institute in June 2015, attended by 47 participants, including 25 PhD students, 11 faculty, 6 professional researchers, and 5 research administrators.

Held two research transparency workshops.

Brought in more than 63,000 website page views from over 75 different countries.

Global Networks East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative EASSTIn 2014-15, the East Africa Social Science Translation (EASST) Collaborative hosted 4 visiting researchers at UC Berkeley, including faculty from universities in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. The annual EASST research competition awarded $170,000 to four pairs of East African researchers and CEGA faculty. The funded studies will examine a door-to-door distribution model for oral rehydration salts, a small-business program to improve managerial capacity, a sports betting intervention, and the impact of conflict on local economic development.

Also in 2014, EASST hosted its 3rd annual impact evaluation summit in Kigali, Rwanda – with a focus on the latest innovations in agricultural productivity. The event, co-sponsored by the World Bank’s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) initiative and the National University of Rwanda, included talks from EASST, CEGA and World Bank researchers as well as local policymakers and development partners.

Berkeley–IDB Collaborative BICAs part of the Berkeley-IDB Collaborative, CEGA hosted 60 government officials and staff from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in July 2014, for a two-week workshop on advanced impact evaluation methods. Following the event, 7 IDB evaluations were selected to receive CEGA faculty support over the course of the year. In addition, a subset of workshop participants joined a Small Private Online Course (SPOC) in applied data analysis and field methods, offered by CEGA through the edX platform. The plan is to translate this curriculum into a massive open online course (MOOC), which will make the course accessible to the public.
