Getting accurate information is key for the success&fairness of public policies, but challenging when administrative capacity is low. Think about tax registers: most African governments only have reliable info. on the income/wealth of a very small number of individuals. [2/11]

💰💰Tax liabilities in the discretion arm amount to 13 million USD instead of a potential of 32 million USD. Losses mostly accrue from high-end properties: the 20% most expensive ones face an effective tax rate of 1.7% instead of an expected 8.6% based on the tax code! [7/11]

Switching to an algorithm improves accuracy & seems like a promising way to equitably expand the tax net at scale. We also test a version that can be computed using satellite images only, making it extremely cost-effective. The administration is interested in scaling-up. [8/11]

🚙🚐 If you do any work in an African metropolis you necessarily already asked yourself what were the costs of congestion & what could be done to reduce traffic ! Interesting to hear about these innovations👇 @IGC_CtW

Regulatory body states "commercial goes too far, with images that are unnecessary, such as the smoke from factory chimneys, which have nothing to do with the car industry." What abt ads feat. lightly dressed women which have nothing to do with the yogurt or the car being sold??
