- A global count of the extreme poor in 2012: data issues, methodology and initial results (2015, unknown): “16 see Bamberger et al. (2006), Biemer and Lyberg (2003), and United Nations Statistical Division (2005). Finally, although all the distributions in PovcalNet originate from household surveys, PovcalNet’s estimation do not always use this microdata directly.”
- Mixed Methods in Intervention Research: Theory to Adaptation (2007, background): “Bamberger, Rugh, and Mabry (2006) and Stufflebeam (2001) noted that mixed methods evaluations are complex and can take the form of multistage projects.”
