Randomized Control Trials in Development: the Gold Standard Revisited Paris, France Calls are multiplying to systematically assess the impact of public policies, and development aid in particular. But a controversy is stirring the community of economists about the most appropriate tools for conducting these assessments: some promote the random experiment method, which consists in randomly chosing two groups, one receiving aid and the other not, and to compare the evolution of these two groups. Other researchers question both the theoretical and practical limitations of this method, as well as its scope of application for evaluating projects, programs or policies. Taking advantage of a collective work in preparation on the subject, co-edited by researchers from AFD and IRD (Isabelle Guérin, François Roubaud and Florent Bédécarrats), this conference aims to discuss the points of view on this experimental method. This day of conference and exchange between experts of development and evaluation, economists and researchers will take place in English. A French translation is provided.
