My name is Dan Rogger. I am a Senior Research Economist at the World Bank Impact Evaluation Research Department, on the Young Economist program. I co-lead the World Bank's Bureaucracy Lab with Zahid Hasnain and Lida Bteddini of the Global Governance Practice.
I was a PhD student at the Economics Department of University College London, and a PhD scholar of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, where I am now an International Research Fellow. I have also been an associate researcher for the Department for International Development, UK.
My fields of interest revolve around the determinants of public service delivery efficiency and effectiveness in the developing world. These are described in detail on my 'Research' page.
I am also interested in bridging the gap between research and policy in a rigorous and practically useful way. My activities in this area are described on my 'Policy' page.

Letters to my generation
My non-economics interests are first and foremost philosophy. My blog aims to present my beliefs on how to live contemporary life in a philosophical way (or how I have tried to confront some of the challenges I face on an everyday basis). Every other week I aim to write a short piece on a topic of note from the weeks gone by.
The 'Siamese Crocodile' or 'Funtunfunefu-Denkyemfunefu' is a Ghanaian Adinkra symbol. As you may have noticed, it appears throughout this web site. Its literal translation is 'the siamese crocodiles have one stomach yet they fight over food when eating'. It closely represents my understanding of how society works. More information on Adinkra culture, symbols, and the Funtunfunefu-Denkyemfunefu is available here.
