A preliminary estimate, and a request for better ones.
Summary
I believe the standard literature estimates for the number of DALYs attributable to a case of stunting are too low, largely because they don’t account for the long term effects. This means that childhood nutritional interventions that reduce the prevalence of stunting may be substantially more cost-effective than previously believed.

Thanks for your questions, Niklas! It is great to hear that attending EAGxBerlin was so beneficial for you both times.
Please note: I am not affiliated with CEA in any official capacity. My insights are based on limited information and personal attendance at several EAG(x) events over the past few years.
I would like to note that some individuals have expressed experiencing diminishing returns as they attend multiple EAG(x) events, especially if they occur in quick succession. This has not been my personal experience. As a community builder, my focus involves sharing insights about EA DC, community building and community health, and policy-related careers, both within the US and other regions of the world.
This is broadly correct from an EAGx perspective :) (I run EAGx)
Minor correction:
CEA and EA Netherlands are planning an event in the Netherlands, but it won't necessarily be in Rotterdam.
Thank you so much! This helps me make a decision.
Glad to hear it!
Just a quick note - EAGxBerlin is confirmed for September 13 - 15. Though applications are not yet open, you can save the date.
