My job market paper, "Encouraging Organ Donation: Evidence from a Randomized Informational Intervention among Young Adults in Tunisia", joint with Maleke Fourati (Mediterranean School of Business and ERF), evaluates the impacts of an expert-led informational intervention which we developed in collaboration with the Tunisian Center for the Promotion of Organ Transplantation (CNPTO). The paper is pre-registered at the AEA Social Science Registry and conditionally accepted via pre-results review at the Journal of Development Economics. A second wave of data collection is scheduled for fall 2025, so stay tuned!
