Think Tank Initiative 2012 Exchange: on sustaining quality in economic policy research

This is the second set of videos from the TTI exchange sessions. This is on how to make sure that the quality of think tanks research is sustained over time:

Eric Eboh: African Institute for Applied Economics (AIAE)

Watch Eric’s talk

Kamilla Gumede: J-PAL

Watch Kamilla’s talk (interesting description of J-PAL and the role of RCTs; but misses the point of good economic policy, in my view: it has to be both rigorous and ideologically sound -cannot have good policy without good politics)

Fernando Masi: Centro de Análisis y Difusión de la Economía Paraguaya (CADEP)

Watch Fernando’s talk

Mustafizur Rahman: Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Watch Mustafizur’s talk

And the  first part and second part of the discussions.
