Blogger's Swan Song

From AfricaCan End Poverty Mon Jun 3 2013, 19:19:22

This will be my last post on Africa Can.  Having recently started a new adventure as Chief Economist of the World Bank's Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, I will be blogging on that region's issues in the MENA blog as well as starting a more general blog (tentatively titled "Economics to end poverty") with some of my fellow bloggers.  It has been a privilege to moderate Africa Can, and I want to thank our readers for the stimulating, lively and frank discussions, as well as for having made this the most popular blog at the Bank.
