Damnnn, this is a good video :) one small thing though, I’d love to know the other effects of small village electrification - such as education, crime rate, etc. Obviously the paper may not have covered this but it could be worth you looking in to and making graphs yourself. If you want to stick to what the papers say though then that’s fair enough, but either way keep it up!
I took her class! Hi Fiona Burlig!
Great topic! Always interested in what sort of infrastructure investments pay off, and it’s not always clear. I think the push for rural broadband in the US would be interesting to connect here as a question. I do wonder if there are broader fiscal stimulus benefits to these things even when the local economy can’t justify the investment. And if that weighs into a cost benefit calculation. Anyhow, this channel is excellent and super information dense. I find that if my mind wanders even a bit during these videos, then I will have lost the thread and need to go back. Not that I mind! It’s a lightning talk. But, if you are looking for a wider audience, you could make changes to slow pacing, increase repetition, and add illustrative anecdotes. Keep it up :)
