It was a seminar-type course with a research component. I alternated weeks between broad political economy themes and more specific environmental topics. You can see the syllabus here: mlarreboure.com/larreboure_peenv_syllabus.pdf

The tokens each child earned across one round of all games were exchangeable for prizes that were assigned different token values.
4,000+ children aged 6 to 17, played 5 behavioral games and answered survey questions. We programmed these games to be played in a low-income, rural setting. Enumerators explained the games with examples and props, and children dragged tokens between baskets on the screens.
We have a new NBER WP with @jhaushofer.bsky.social, Sara Lowes, and Leon Mait.
In the context of an UCT RCT in rural Kenya, we ask whether the social preferences and well-being of children in households that received (or did not receive) a transfer, were impacted a few years after the program.
I also want a welcome, I got all my twitter followers through you 😂
6 years ago I was doing an exchange in Montreal and came to Boston for the first time, as a tourist.
At the time, it didn’t occur to me that I could ever study at Harvard (or that I would continue studying, fwiw😅)
