"Even amid a tumultuous present, it is difficult to imagine a radically different future. But the fortunes of nations do change, often dramatically. Politics has consequences. For this reason, it pays to think creatively about what these consequences might be — and about how we might look to those living with them."

🔷 Extremely excited to present our recent work with @saadgulzar and @jfladino1 on "Campaign Contributions and Kickbacks in Public Procurement" tomorrow at the World Bank Conference on Public Institutions for Development @wbg_gov. 👉Using administrative data on all public contracts & political donations in Colombia, we document who wins contracts, at what cost, and why it matters, revealing a novel Pay-to-play mechanism. 🔎A nationwide RCT with NGOs, the Inspector General Office & the media shows how oversight reshapes procurement. ⚙️We further develop a structural model to make sense of it all and explicitly model selection. Program 🔗here:
