11. Measuring the Effects of Information on DevelopmentWebsite (URL): http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-30677-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html

I am instead a social psychologist who teaches graduate courses in statistics and research methods and who has spent the last 25 years conducting research on the use of information in decision-making.
