When Bangladesh launched its national immunisation program in 1979, a third of their 500,000 annual child deaths were from vaccine-preventable diseases. Today, the country is officially polio-free and has dramatically reduced child mortality. bit.ly/4kBJhQt

We wanted to verify the evidence behind >$1 billion in grants we've made to our top charities — so we asked @I4Replication to see if they could get the data to replicate the underlying RCTs.
It didn't go great... 🧵

Frauen verdienen mehr, wenn sie als Kinder mehrheitlich mit anderen Mädchen die Schulbank drückten. Das zeigt eine Studie der @unibasel und der @uni_durham mit Daten von 750'000 Schülerinnen und Schülern. @meier_armando

I'm excited to release a new working paper today. When we paid people ~$20, they were 13pp more likely to take the Covid Booster shot. This guaranteed financial incentive worked better than lottery and charitable incentives in our large, pre-registered field experiment.

Monetary incentives are effective for vaccination motivation. Guaranteed money works better than lottery, prosocial, or individually-targeted incentives, from @campos_mercade, @meier_armando, Meier, @Devin_G_Pope, @f_h_schneider, and Wengström nber.org/papers/w32899

🤔Is paying people for vaccination effective?
In a literature review, we find that incentives usually increase vaccination.
