DIME Analytics takes advantage of the scope and scale of DIME research to develop technical solutions and best-practice workflows. We aim to share all resources developed and tested in DIME with the global research community, as open-source and open-access public goods. In 2021, we published Development Research in Practice: the DIME Analytics Data Handbook, which combines the disparate best practices, tools, and resources developed and curated by the Analytics team (publicly available on the DIME Wiki) into a coherent narrative workflow across the research lifecycle.
The World Bank's reproducible research initiative aims to increase the reproducibility of the World Bank's analytical products. I lead a team that verifies computational reproducibility of analytical products, provides guidelines and resources for creating reproducibility packages, and trains World Bank staff and consultants on reproducible practices. We publish verified reproducibility packages to the World Bank's Reproducible Research Repository and make all our protocols, resources, and tools publicly available.
I joined the World Bank in 2009, after completing an MA in International Relations/ Development Economics from Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies and an undergraduate degree in Economics from Amherst College. In previous roles, I coordinated a portfolio of impact evaluations for the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program, and worked on a program of impact evaluations in Malawi.
