Effective Giving Day Keynote: Nobel Prize winner Professor Michael Kremer (2020)
Channel: International Effective Giving Day
Date: 01/12/2020

Professor Michael Kremer is one of the world’s most influential development economists. Prof. Kremer pioneered the use of randomised control trials to measure the impact of interventions and identify practical solutions which can benefit low-income people in developing countries. He has produced some of the most influential research in the field, notably a 20-year study showing the lasting positive effects of school-based deworming programmes, the development of new approaches to water treatment, and a series of studies showing how digitally delivered agricultural advice can cost-effectively improve outcomes for smallholder farmers.

Prof. Kremer joins us to discuss his career to date, including his 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics. He will also participate in a Q&A. Prof. Kremer is introduced and interviewed by Jack Lewars, Executive Director at One for the World.
