J-PAL North America News: Prioritizing evidence amid government transitions
J-PAL North America
J-PAL North America, based at MIT, seeks to reduce poverty by ensuring that policy is informed by scientific evidence.
This month, across every level of US government, newly elected officials are taking office. These leaders are now tasked with addressing the pressing challenges facing their communities and allocating taxpayer dollars effectively.?
Evidence from randomized evaluations—which has had bipartisan appeal at federal, state, and local levels—is an invaluable tool for determining which ideas are effective in achieving policy goals, from how to reduce food insecurity to how to improve job opportunities for low-income workers.
Building on over a decade of work to ensure that policy is informed by evidence, J-PAL North America remains committed to collaborating with leaders across the country—at all levels of governments and across the political spectrum—to generate and use evidence. Together, we can create a playbook of effective policy ideas that transcend political ideology and are proven to improve outcomes for Americans.?
In this newsletter edition, we feature exciting new policy ideas for government leaders looking to implement evidence-based solutions as they enter new terms. I encourage you to explore the pieces in our newsletter and reach out if you’re interested in collaborating.
