📢 #EdWorkingPapers: Tutoring is powerful but expensive to scale.

Across 12 rapid A/B tests, @noamangrist.bsky.social, @ccullen.bsky.social, & @janicalapati.bsky.social optimize a tech-enabled tutoring program, boosting efficiency & finding low-cost ways to double learning impact.

Cheaper (and more effective) by the dozen: Evidence from 12 randomised A/B tests optimising tutoring for scale - What Works Hub for Global Education This paper presents iterative randomised A/B tests of a mobile phone numeracy tutoring programme to optimise efficiency and scalability.

Tutoring school children is effective, but hard to scale. Researchers @noamangrist.bsky.social, @ccullen.bsky.social, & @janicalapati.bsky.social used a novel A/B testing approach to enhance cost-effectiveness and scalability of a program in Botswana. 🔗 Read the new paper: https://bit.ly/3WYniJn

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.

If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

🚨So happy this is out in the world!
Our paper on 12 A/B tests finds that quick, iterative experimentation produced large cost-effectiveness gains in an education program.
Encouraging evidence for faster, rigorous learning in the social sector.

Wanted to do an #econtwitter #econsky 🧵about some of the amazing gender-related work (note - not exhaustive!) presented this week at CSAE - was not there, but had a fascinating time browsing the program. (Link below)

Grateful for @kbeegle.bsky.social 's thoughtful deep dive on our new paper & a related study—we find that a couples training program in Rwanda, meant to reduce IPV, unexpectedly increased it, raising important questions on backlash & spillovers.
