Editor's Note: The next in the long series of faiV experiments—we're going to start sending it out on Mondays rather than Fridays for a bit. That gives me more time on Friday to assemble and write without it coming out well past the start of Asia/Europe weekends. We'll see how that goes on my side and on the opening/clicking side for a few weeks and then, who knows?
And just in case you need a reminder of a some good news, the cheaper of the new malaria vaccines is starting to be deployed in Ivory Coast today.

Ten years ago, FAI managing director Tim Ogden published Experimental Conversations, a collection of interviews with economists and other people who critique, promote, and use randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in development economics. One of the interviewees was Michael Kremer, a pioneer of the movement, now a Nobel laureate, and recently appointed Chief Economist of the World Bank.
