Abstract Widespread acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines is crucial for achieving sufficient immunization coverage to end the global pandemic, yet few studies have investigated vaccination attitudes in lower-income countries, where large-scale just beginning. We analyze vaccine across 15 survey samples covering 10 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) Asia, Africa South America, Russia (an upper-middle-income country) United States, including a total 44,260 individuals. find considerably...
Despite numerous journalistic accounts, systematic quantitative evidence on economic conditions during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains scarce for most low- and middle-income countries, partly due to limitations of official statistics in environments with large informal sectors subsistence agriculture. We assemble from over 30,000 respondents 16 original household surveys nine countries Africa (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone), Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, Philippines),...

We overcome this problem by conducting an education-based, randomized field experiment—the Urban Youth Vocational Training program (UYVT)—with 849 randomly sampled Christian Muslim young men in riot-prone Kaduna, Nigeria. After sixteen...

In this paper, I theorize also open up the elite while protecting their most senior members. Consistent with hypothesis, using original data from Botswana’s...
Relative to survey methods where respondents are recruited and interviewed face face, remote have become more common in low- middle-income countries (LMICs) recent years. These can often be deployed quickly cheaply, but it is unclear when, if ever, such yield nationally representative samples. We assess representativeness by comparing three against benchmark estimates from official household surveys: (1) random-digit-dial (RDD phone survey), (2) follow-ups face-to-face baseline surveys, (3)...
