Beyond Baseline and Follow-up : The Case for More T in Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make the case that using a single baseline and single follow-up survey is not optimal for measuring noisy and relatively less autocorrelated outcomes such as business profits, household incomes and expenditures, and episodic health outcomes.

The Impact of Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme and its Linkages
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the impact of Ethiopia's Productive Safety Nets Programme (PSNP), the largest social protection programme in sub-Saharan Africa outside of South Africa, using propensity score matching techniques, and find that the programme has little impact on participants on average, due in part to transfer levels that fell far below programme targets.

Marcel Fafchamps,Bart Minten +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits that Indian farmers derive from market and weather information delivered to their mobile phones by a commercial service called Reuters Market Light (RML) were investigated. But the authors found no statistically significant average effect of treatment on the price received by farmers, crop value added, crop losses resulting from rainstorms, or the likelihood of changing crop varieties and cultivation practices.
