Our Innovation Lab and the National Bureau of Economic Research co-hosted conference on Poverty Traps held in Washington, DC from June 28-29th, 2016. At this conference we sat down with the Chief Economist of the World Bank, Kaushik Basu, Makhtar Diop, World Bank Vice President for Africa, and Gregory Collins, Director of USAID's Center for Resilience to ask for their perspectives on our poverty trap research.
