“数十亿美元的政府资金，以及数千家慈善机构和 NGO，正致力于帮助全球的贫困人口。但他们所做的大部分工作，其依据的假设充其量是未经检验的泛泛之谈，往坏了说则是彻底有害的错误认知。Banerjee 和 Duflo 开创了在发展经济学中应用随机对照试验的先河。基于这些原则、由 MIT 的 Poverty Action Lab 监督的工作正在数十个国家开展。他们的成果颠覆了某些固有设想：小额信贷是万灵药、上学等于受教育、贫

……故事。很少有人去深究，因为深究太难了。据我所知，在评估慈善机构方面，http://givewell.org/ 是目前最好的平台。另外，我强烈推荐读读刚出的《贫穷的本质》（Poor Economics），书里介绍了一些采用随机对照试验的更扎实的研究。
…story. Few people dig deeper because digging deeper is hard. As far as I know, http://givewell.org/ is the best thing out there when it comes to evaluating charities. Also, I highly recommend reading Poor Economics, a book that just came out that describes some more solid research using randomized trials.
别光看莫约（Moyo）的书。去读读阿比吉特·班纳吉和埃斯特·迪弗洛写的《贫穷的本质》。迪弗洛在麻省理工，她非常推崇用试验来摸清援助到底怎样才奏效。去读读牛津大学发展经济学家保罗·科利尔写的《最底层的十亿人》。去读读……
Don't just read Moyo. Read 'Poor Economics' by Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo. Duflo is at MIT and is all about trials to figure out what works with aid. Read 'The Bottom Billion' by Paul Collier who is a development economist at Oxford. Read…
……生病（带来的风险），这（多多少少）就是雇主提供的保险所起的作用。这大概也是为什么国家提供医疗保险可能是一个好主意的主要原因。班纳吉和迪弗洛的《贫穷的本质》在第147-151页给出了更详尽、更细致的解释。整本书都非常值得一读。
…of illness, which is (at least somewhat) what the employer-provided insurance does. This is probably also the main reason state-provided health insurance might be a good idea. Banerjee's and Duflo's 'Poor Economics' gives you a more detailed and nuanced explanation pp. 147-151. Great reading throughout.
我最近读了一本关于极度贫困人群生活的极好著作，《贫穷的本质》，阿比吉特·班纳吉和埃斯特·迪弗洛写的。两位作者都是麻省理工的发展经济学家。如果你觉得穷人不借钱，那真该好好读读这本书。任何生活足够有保障、能把它当成……
I recently read an excellent book on the lives of the extremely poor, Poor Economics, Abhijit Bannerjee and Esther Duflo. The authors are development economists at MIT. If you think that poor people don't borrow money you should really read it. Anybody who's secure enough to make it a…
这就是因《贫穷的本质》[1]成名的那个班纳吉。研究成果非常引人入胜。[1] https://www.pooreconomics.com/
This is the same Banerjee of "Poor Economics"[1] fame. Really fascinating work. [1] https://www.pooreconomics.com/
对这个话题感兴趣的人，我推荐阅读迪弗洛和班纳吉2011年的著作《贫穷的本质》。他们开创了使用 RCT（随机对照试验）来检验扶贫干预措施效果的方法（并因此与迈克尔·克雷默共同获得了诺贝尔经济学奖）。他们深入探讨了许多因素，比如……
To anyone interested in the topic, I recommend reading Duflo & Banerjee's 2011 book "Poor Economics". They pioneered the approach of using RCTs to test interventions in fighting poverty (for which they received the Nobel Memorial Prize together with Michael Kremer). They go into a lot of factors as…
