Field experiments -- randomized controlled trials -- have become
ever more popular in political science, as well as in other
disciplines, such as economics, social policy and development.
Policy-makers have also increasingly used randomization to evaluate
public policies, designing trials of tax reminders, welfare
policies and international aid programs to name just a few of the
interventions tested in this way. Field experiments have become
successful because they assess causal claims in ways that other
methods of evaluation find hard to emulate. Social scientists and
evaluators have rediscovered how to design and analyze field
experiments, but they have paid much less attention to the
challenges of organizing and managing them. Field experiments pose
unique challenges and opportunities for the researcher and
evaluator which come from working in the field. The research
experience can be challenging and at times hard to predict. This
book aims to help researchers and evaluators plan and manage their
field experiments so they can avoid common pitfalls. It is also
intended to open up discussion about the context and backdrop to
trials so that these practical aspects of field experiments are
better understood. The book sets out ten steps researchers can use
to plan their field experiments, then nine threats to watch out for
when they implement them. There are cases studies of voting and
political participation, elites, welfare and employment, nudging
citizens, and developing countries.
