So "Smart Policy Design" basically comes down to: think hard about the policies you want to implement, and monitor the results. It should be called "Common Sense Policy Design." Though mentioned in the subtitle of this lecture, they don't really get into why this obvious thing is hard to do. Rohini says that better information from the ground would help, but Asim mentions earlier in the context of India's Employment Guarantee Scheme that better information does not help. Having smart people working for the government also does not seem to help, which is Asim's point about the Indian Administrative Service. So what good would "smart" policy design be either? The presentation left me rather dissatisfied. It seems the authors were avoiding saying what seemed to me the most obvious: that policymakers and officials have little interest in improving the lives of their people. And that is a problem of the political system, impervious to "smart" policy tinkering.

Interesting how the audio works and cameraman moves for the man but not the woman. The way this cameraman films the man so good... But the moment she starts talking the camera gets lazy and it is like he doesn't know that she's pointing to the screen and explaining something for the masses. We can not see what she's talking about and it's grossly due to the way this is being taped. I hope this is just a coincidence and not a clear example of the diaspora between the sexes in academia.
I can assure you that gender did not play a role in the erratic camera work. In fact, the first lapse comes about 30 seconds into the recording when the videographer fails to follow Prof. Khwaja away from the podium. I do apologize for the overall quality.
@@HarvardCID Difficult to digest the explanation. Panning stops when Prof Rohini comes; panning restarts as soon as Prof Asim comes. I am sure it was one off, and gender is not the issue. But still, this was crazy...

If the conclusion drawn by you is correct, then we shouldn't be moving towards the better. Sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately we are.
Thanks for the video!
