This talk will discuss several differences in norms associated with doing field-based research in low- and middle-income countries. These include differences in standards between US and foreign IRBs, variation in how we react to certain aspects of research implementation and findings, and disparities in how we disseminate peer-reviewed research. The presenters will provide examples from various research projects conducted in low- and middle-income countries and discuss opportunities for harmonization of standards and practices.
REPS events are now on the 2nd Wednesdays, September-June.

“Genetics and Economic Success” with Leandro Carvalho, PhD | Economist at the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) and Assistant (Research) Professor of Economics, University of Southern California
Abstract: Does genetics influence one’s chances of economic success? I exploit randomness in the genetic transmission from parents to offspring to estimate causal genetic effects. I investigate how the causal relationship between genetics and income emerges.

“Net Worth Poverty and Adult Health” with Christina Gibson-Davis, PhD, Professor of Public Policy, Duke University
Abstract: Our study considers how wealth deprivation, measured as net worth poverty, relates to a diverse set of adult health measures. Net worth poverty refers to households whose wealth (assets minus debts) is less than one-fourth of the federal poverty line. Using data from Panel Study of Income Dynamics on adults observed between 2011 and 2019, results from longitudinal growth curve models indicate that net worth poverty was negatively related to outcomes, above and beyond any associations with income poverty. Adults who experienced asset poverty were particularly at risk. Wealth deprivation is an often overlooked, but most likely salient component in, the social determinants of health.
