This book provides a comprehensive yet accessible guide to
running randomized impact evaluations of social programs. Drawing
on the experience of researchers at the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty
Action Lab, which has run hundreds of such evaluations in dozens of
countries throughout the world, it offers practical insights on how
to use this powerful technique, especially in resource-poor
environments.
This step-by-step guide explains why and when randomized
evaluations are useful, in what situations they should be used, and
how to prioritize different evaluation opportunities. It shows how
to design and analyze studies that answer important questions while
respecting the constraints of those working on and benefiting from
the program being evaluated. The book gives concrete tips on issues
such as improving the quality of a study despite tight budget
constraints, and demonstrates how the results of randomized impact
evaluations can inform policy.
With its self-contained modules, this one-of-a-kind guide is
easy to navigate. It also includes invaluable references and a
checklist of the common pitfalls to avoid.Provides the most
