Focused Targeting against Poverty Evidence from Tunisia
This paper introduces a new methodology to target direct transfers against poverty. Our method is based on observable correlates and on estimation methods that focus on the poor.

The impact of these s...

In this literature the motivating notion of a “group” is purely statistical, even when it is groups such as l...
