Thanks! This analysis seems quite relevant to inform priorisation amongst interventions which aim to improve human well-being of present generations.
On the other hand, from the point of view of cause priorisation, I think looking into the indirect effects of GiveWell’s top charities could be more informative (e.g. the effect on population size seems unclear). Excluding indirect effects, it appears that GiveWell’s top charities are not the most effective interventions. For example, based on this, it looks like corporate campaigns for chicken welfare could be 10 k as effective as GiveWell’s top charities (excluding indirect effects).
