I'm writing a ~4000 word policy paper on impact markets, and I failed to realize exactly how new this idea was and how little resources there are online about it. I've poured over lesswrong for everything about the topic, but other than that I'm having some trouble finding enough resources, especially academic papers on the subject.

The paper has a problem/solution structure. For the problem part, I'd appreciate any resources on the inefficiencies of philanthropy in areas that impact markets could solve, as well as any respectable quantitative analyses of philanthropic waste/inefficiency.

For the solution part, I'm looking for pretty much anything...examples of impact market implementation (other than anything on Manifund, I've seen those), resources on analogous topics like social impact bonds, academic research on the mechanisms of impact markets, etc.

If anyone reading this is working on impact markets in some fashion and would be willing to answer some interview questions via email, I would appreciate that too.

I'll give Ṁ25 for each resource I find helpful, I have no problem increasing the bounty amount
