Use of Randomization in the Evaluation of Development Effectiveness (2004, methodology): “Similar disparities between retrospective and prospective randomized estimates arise in studies on the impact of deworming in Kenya (Miguel and Kremer, 2003a) and of the impact of social networks on take-up of deworming drugs (Miguel and Kremer, 2003b).”
Ethnic diversity, social sanctions, and public goods in Kenya (2005, background): “There are a number of plausible reasons why examination scores may respond little to educational inputs (the following draws on Kremer, 2003).”
USING RANDOMIZATION IN DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS RESEARCH: A TOOLKIT (2008, background): “Miguel and Kremer (2003) and Duflo, Kremer and Robinson (2006) compare experimental and non-experimental estimate of peer effects in the case of the take up of deworming drug and fertilizer adoption, respectively.”
Factorial Designs, Model Selection, and (Incorrect) Inference in Randomized Experiments (2019, background): “3 In practice, researchers often estimate the long model first and test if the inter1As Kremer (2003) puts it: “Conducting a series of evaluations in the same area allows substantial cost savings.”
Inputs, Incentives, and Complementarities in Education: Experimental Evidence from Tanzania* (2018, unknown): “10For instance, Duflo, Dupas, and Kremer (2015) find that providing a randomly selected set of primary schools in Kenya with an extra contract teacher led to an increase in absence rates of teachers in treated schools. Muralidharan and Sundararaman (2013) find the same result in an experimental stud”

Field experiments in labor economics (2010, background): “…entire set of estimates from natural experiments and field experiments one is left with mixed evidence on the effects of class size at various tiers of the education system (Angrist and Lavy 1999, Case and Deaton 1999, Hoxby 2000a, Kremer 2003, Krueger 2003, Hanushek 2007, Bandiera et al. 2010).”
What Do Laboratory Experiments Tell Us About the Real World (2006, background): “Additionally, with the increasing popularity of micro-finance field experiments (see, e.g., Kremer, 2003; Ashraf et al., 2006), an important question in this literature relates to how the results scale-up and transport across countries, ethnicities, and time. what the " correct " moral choice is in…”
What Works to Improve the Quality of Student Learning in Developing Countries (2015, background): “Previous analytical review studies have examined the relationship between policy design and cognitive skills and learning at various levels of education, while focusing largely on supply-side interventions (Glewwe, 2002; Kremer, 2003; Glewwe and Kremer, 2006; Kremer and Holla, 2009; Glewwe et al., 2”
