CSDE Affiliate Isabelle Cohen article, “Crowd in or crowd out? The subnational fiscal response to aid,” was published in World Development this month. Isabelle examines how International Development Association (IDA) aid funding affects downstream government expenditures, using Uganda as a case study. Using unique data on subnational government expenditures and resource allocation, she finds IDA aid funding fosters greater government spending in recipient local districts. It is an important study conceptually and empirically.
CSDE Affiliate Wendy Barrington and Co-author Carolyn A. Fan have recently published a paper entitled “The experience of hate incidents across racial and ethnic groups during the COVID-19 pandemic” in Frontiers in Public Health as part of their Anti-Asian Racism and Public Health research topic.

CSDE Affiliate Erin Casey recently published a new paper in American Journal of Evaluation entitled “The Process of Applying Principles-Focused Evaluation to the Sexual Violence Prevention Field: Implications for Practice in Other Social Services Fields“. Erin and co-authors contribute to a growing literature on Principles Focused Evaluations and how they can be used to identify common guiding tenets across uniquely situated organizations in a larger community of practice. The flexibility of this approach is applied to the State of Washington’s Rape Prevention and Education sexual violence prevention program where evaluation components across different organizations are shared.
