• Can participation be induced? Some evidence from developing countries 1 (2012, positive): “In Mansuri and Rao (2013) we review over 500 studies, focusing at greater length on large-scale participatory projects that have been evaluated using representative samples of target populations with good counterfactuals.”

• Cause and response: vulnerability and climate in the Anthropocene (2014, background): “Similarly, participatory processes or indigenous leaders are often favored by central governments and external donors over elected local government in ways that undermine representation (Mansuri and Rao 2003, 2012, Swyngedouw 2005, Ribot and Mearns 2008, Burga Cahuana 2013, Mbeche forthcoming).”
