Equals “wonku”.
From Duncan Green, an ianugural poem:

transfers. A panacea?
Can’t be that easy.
I love it. I may even try my hand at a wonku:
Despite Nick Kristof’s

Readers: what’s in your wonku?
1 billion hungry
not a care gives the damn world
equality gone.
company paid for
impact assessment is a
not funny big joke
You deserve tenure for that alone.
It is too boring

Hooray, RCTs!
Haitians, don’t despair
Salvation is on the way!
Hope you like old shoes
Sorry, couldn’t help myself to another one…

Our own wolves will rule us now.
Why has nothing changed?
A corollary
There are lots of ways

of an RCT.
Forever hunting
In the field, exogenous
factor means tenure.
Vice boys braving crime, danger,
the dark continent
Be still my aid worker heart.
African crises.
Badvocates to the rescue!
With logo-ed g-strings.
It isn’t too boring, i think, but anyway. learned something new.
