David McKenzie (an IPA affiliate) launched a new blog at the World Bank; "Development Impact" last friday. No doubt essential reading for global development wonks. 

Our goal is to cover a broad range of issues relating to impact evaluations, including:

• Summaries, critiques,  and discussions of new research papers

• Discussions of ongoing and planned evaluations

• Methodological issues in doing experimental and non-experimental evaluations

• Stories and puzzles from fieldwork

We want this blog to be something that is useful to both producers and consumers of impact evaluations, which can provide an opportunity for serious discussion and sharing of experiences. We hope to have a range of guest bloggers from both inside and outside the World Bank.  We encourage all readers to not only participate in the discussions by commenting on blog posts, but also sending ideas and materials for blogs, as well as for guest blogging.
