Publications

ACEGID is committed to sharing our discoveries with the scientific community. We have published scores of articles in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals. Analysis made by Elsevier on behalf of World Bank showed that our publications were the most impactful among all ACEs and were three times the world average. The analysis showed that ACEGID had the largest number of scholarly citations among all ACEs (30% of all ACE scholarly citations). 

Below are some of our publications.
