Understanding Venezuela's Collapse
Once one of the richest countries in Latin America with the world’s largest oil reserves, Venezuela has been in political, economic, and humanitarian freefall in recent years. In this Q&A in the Harvard Gazette, Ricardo Hausmann talks about current concerns, what steps the country might take to steady itself and how CID's research has helped address some of these issues.

New Possibilities for Cutting Corruption in the Public Sector
Corruption is rife in the public sector of many developing countries, with costs falling heaviest on the poor. However, personality tests, laboratory games, and other new tools from psychology may offer ways to weed out dishonest officials and attract high-quality applicants to government jobs. EPoD's Rema Hanna and Vestal McIntyre review recent research.
Tourist Spending Insights Provide Unprecedented View of Global Tourism
More than 10% of the world's GDP comes from tourism. However, a lack of data limits our understanding of tourism’s role in the global economy: From which countries do the visitors who spend the most come? What are the most visited places? In what types of businesses do tourists spend their money? Our researchers are collaborating with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth to better understand these issues and using anonymized and aggregated transaction data to study foreign tourist spending patterns in 40 countries.
