The
University’s “Make a Difference in the World Fund” (MDW Fund) seeks
participants for a study group on “Designing
and Running Randomized Evaluations”, which will discuss how to design
a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and evaluate the efficiency of poverty
reduction policies in the field of developing countries.
The
facilitator of the study group is a practitioner, using RCT in developing
countries as well as the US.
At
the study group meeting, participants will watch MIT’s free online lectures and
then discuss their content. The study group meets at 8 pm on Zoom every
Thursday, starting on May 11 until December. An orientation meeting may take
place in mid-April.
This
is an informal study group, NOT a regular course.
