As part of my visit to Jakarta, I am giving two short presentations on research methods for a policy-oriented audience. The neat thing about this will be seeing how disciplinary concerns map onto the concerns of those whose job is to learn what policies work and then implement them. I’m especially excited to see how my talk on experiments goes with Lant Pritchett (of the infamous “Lant Rant”) in the audience. (Although since I have not been given the talk of writing on RCTs, I’m probably relatively immune from comments.)
Presentation One: Case Studies and Causal Mechanisms
Presentation Two: Survey and List Experiments
