TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the contributions made by lab-in-the-field experiments, which are also known as artefactual, framed and extra-lab experiments, and outline the ethical and implementational challenges researchers may face while conducting these experiments and share some of the strategies employed to address them.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare peer monitoring treatments when credit is provided to members of the group sequentially and simultaneously, and individual lending with lender monitoring, and find that peer monitoring results in higher loan frequencies, higher monitoring and higher repayment rates compared to lender monitoring.

TL;DR: This article showed that television may be able to deliver rudimentary financial literacy in a cost-effective manner, in a controlled experiment where garment workers were randomly assigned to one or more TV stations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the discrete data latent class literature by explicitly de-neighboring a latent variable for class membership as a function of both observables and unobservables and apply this procedure to modelling observed obesity outcomes, which are driven by an underlying ordered probit equation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the causal effect of gender in private school choice and found that the gender of the child is potentially endogenous in India because parents continue to have children until they have a son.
