Join my colleague Dr. @MorganARichards next week to learn about the mind-bending effects of tax progressivity. She will be presenting her recent research at Comparative Economic Inequality Conference.
More on @GInsight_org's Poverty & Inequality research: g-insight.org/
Men pay higher tax rates where income tax progressivity is higher due to higher average income. This should be gender equalizing. Leading our Poverty & Inequality portfolio, Dr. @MorganARichards finds tax progressivity has counterintuitive impacts on gender equality.

I have no words. The effects of this will ripple across the entire economy, our relationships across the world, and decades of reputational damage to the US.
Look, Trump is trying to oversaturate us with nonstop chaos so we can’t react meaningfully to any one thing.
But Friday's global stop work order on almost all U.S. aid is dumb and murderous. You need to know about it.

The rumors are true! I will be representing @GInsight_org's innovative approach to impact metrics at #SOCAP24. If you are eager to bring greater rigor and storytelling to measuring impact of your fund, portfolio, family office, or even a single investment, let's grab a coffee.
Reflecting on 2 days at #GIINForum2024, I am filled with renewed energy for our work at @GInsight_org 's Impact Lab. The forum reinforced a vital truth: robust impact metrics, measurement, and reporting are essential for growth, scale + sustained impact.

Returning from 2 wks with armed groups in PNW to jump right into discussing humanitarian-development-peace nexus with @devex.
From the wise words of @edwardrcarr over coffee, when you like what you're doing (read: gives you purpose), more temporal wishes become less meaningful.
Voluntary return, even when desired by all parties, is not always an option. Displacement in fragile settings is a development and peacebuilding issues. Not one, both.
This is not just about philanthropy, but public-private partnerships.

Looking for a Spanish-English interpreter for small one-off remote tasks. Please DM me if you know someone or are someone that this might fit. Must be fluent in both English and Spanish.
2 wks in small town Idaho in religious revivals and backroom interviews exploring "freedom" and "rights" have reminded me of the sticky nature of this research. Many feel a sense of blurriness and confusion at the distinction between opinion and scientific finding.

Confusion seems most commonly exploited by less than honest actors at the site of causation -- Does X truly cause Y, or could it be Z? Just last night I found myself in the position of delicately highlighting to this very point.

To unpick environmental + social change, we must adhere to rigorous scientific and ethical standards, regardless of method. Could go on endlessly about rigor + methods + ethics. Interested in more about my work or partnership with my team at @GInsight_org: g-insight.org
