Unfortunately, we do not have a clear picture yet of how many WELLBYs per dollar is a good deal. Cash transfers are the first intervention we (and I think anyone) have analyzed in this manner. Figuring this out is my priority and I will soon review the cost effectiveness of other interventions which should give more context. To give a sneak peak, cataracts surgery is looking promising in terms of cost effectiveness compared to cash transfers.
Hello,
Glad to hear you’re excited!

I see, thanks for the teaser :)
I was under the impression that you have rough estimate for some charities (e.g. StrongMinds). Looking forward to see your future work on that.
Those estimates are still in the works, but stay tuned!
