🌍 New @JPubEcon article on irregular migration in West Africa by @NOVAFRICA Sci. Dir. & @NovaSBE Prof. @cbatista_econ and @tijanl (@WorldBankGroup).
📖 Article: tinyurl.com/mrxxbdsd
📄 Paper: tinyurl.com/45hzcdmf
🔎 Project: tinyurl.com/yw7fy4kh
📊 Potential migrants tend to overestimate the risk of dying on the irregular migration journey from West Africa to Europe.
Correcting misperceptions can increase willingness to migrate!

...and that's a wrap on #EGAP32 🎉 Thank you to everyone who joined us @novafrica over the last three days! And a huge thank you @pedrocvicente and the @novafrica team for hosting and ensuring everything ran so smoothly. Until next time! 👋
In our final #EGAP32 session, our Methods Working Group led a conversation about future directions for EGAP's methodological focus. Thanks to all who shared ideas about constructive collaborations, linking theory & empirics & contributing to evidence-based policy decisions.

…and we are back for day two of #EGAP32 @novafrica! We are excited to continue digging deep into #experimentalresearch on innovative evidence based policy in the area of #conflict and beyond.

Today we discussed six amazing projects🌟
Topics ranged from the effects of mediation on violence & social cohesion to a collaborative effort to bridge the gap between policy-relevant academic research & public engagement through media.
We look forward to tomorrow at #EGAP32!
Thank you to our expert moderator @MorganOHolmes and our entire panel: Oke Epia (@orderpaper), Viola Asri (@cmi_no), Sana Khan (@sparkmg), Flora Myamba (Women & Social Protection Tanzania) & Seema Shah (@Int_IDEA)

In our first plenary today we heard from some of EGAP's institutional members. They described the work they are doing on the ground, how research collaborations can support their aims, and some of the constraints and limitations they face moving #experimentalresearch forward.
It’s Day One of #EGAP32 @novafrica! We are looking forward to two full days of exchanging ideas and connecting over #experimentalresearch on the theme of #conflict and more.
First, we will hear from practitioners about their work and experiences partnering with research teams.
