Do differences in the scale of irrigation projects generate different impacts on poverty and production (2011, methodology): “…the data were not generated as a random experiment, drawing on a growing theoretical and empirical literature (Heckman, Ichimura, and Todd 1997; Dehejia and Wahba 2002; Jalan and Ravallion 2003; Bertrand, Duflo, and Mullainathan 2004; Smith and Todd 2005; Dehejia 2005; Gilligan and Hoddinott 2007).”
