Economics That Really Matters is a blog run by a rotating group of graduate students and early career researchers from several institutions. Our aim is to contribute to the discourse of development economics, encourage debate relevant to poverty reduction and agricultural development, and share thoughts from our research experiences. To learn more about our name and motivation, see this post.
This is a community blog that best serves its purpose when able to host a variety of voices. Therefore, we welcome your contribution. If you have ideas, comments, questions, or a draft post for review, please contact us at econthatmatters@gmail.com. All posts go through a review process involving two members of our editorial team.
