Handbook of Economic Field Experiments

Handbook of Field Experiments, Volume Two explains how to conduct experimental research, presents a catalog of research to date, and describes which areas remain to be explored. The new volume includes sections on field experiments in education in developing countries, how to design social protection programs, a section on how to combat poverty, and updates on data relating to the impact and determinants of health levels in low-income countries. Separating itself from circumscribed debates of specialists, this volume surpasses the many journal articles and narrowly-defined books written by practitioners.

This ongoing series will be of particular interest to scholars working with experimental methods. Users will find results from politics, education, and more.

• Balances methodological insights with analyses of principal findings and suggestions for further research
• Appeals broadly to social scientists seeking to develop an expertise in field experiments
• Written in a language that is accessible to graduate students and non-specialist economists
