Cool paper from Egypt in AER @AEAjournals by @gharadbryan, @deankarlan, @adammosman on the impacts of offering big loans to small businesses. While effects are moderate on average, machine learning techniques show that top performers benefit more. @JPAL_MENA
Super excited to see this paper in the AER. Started it in 2014, and learned so much in the process. @deankarlan @gharadbryan @ARNagy01 @SarahWahby @Mohamed57545989
