My daily duties were creating and maintaining effective systems for organizing and carrying out extensive field and laboratory experiments. The goal of the lab and economic field experiments was to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral economics in reducing poverty.I took part in measuring informal institutions like trust, reciprocity, and altruism in charitable giving among low-income groups using the lab experiments. I also set up field studies to support small-scale farmers and… Show more My daily duties were creating and maintaining effective systems for organizing and carrying out extensive field and laboratory experiments. The goal of the lab and economic field experiments was to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral economics in reducing poverty.I took part in measuring informal institutions like trust, reciprocity, and altruism in charitable giving among low-income groups using the lab experiments. I also set up field studies to support small-scale farmers and enhance nutrition.It was vital that I took the initiative in developing and integrating a qualitative research methodology and community-based participatory practices for a study on the validation of cross-cultural biases and heuristics. Main tasks included data cleaning, in-depth analysis, and development, testing, and application of cutting-edge behavioral science research in program and policy design. Show less
