- Cycling to School: Increasing Secondary School Enrollment for Girls in India (2013, unknown): “However, they have not been found to be a very cost effective way of improving girls' schooling attainment, perhaps because CCT programs typically aim to also provide income support to the poor and not only to increase girls' schooling (Dhaliwal et al. 2013; Pritchett 2012).”
- Women Empowerment and Economic Development (2012, background): “The trade-offs are real: comparative cost effectiveness research (comparing across different experiments in a variety of contexts) suggest that the cost per extra child enrolled of additional scholarships may be much larger than that of deworming, or informing parents of the returns to education (Dh”
- Improving Education in Developing Countries (2016, background): “For example, Banerjee, Banerji, Duflo, Glennerster, and Khemani (2010) found that providing information to communities in Uttar Pradesh, India, in 2005 about the existence of village education councils, their membership, resources, and roles did not increase the involvement of parents, local authori”
- What Works to Improve the Quality of Student Learning in Developing Countries (2015, background): “An increase of more than 0.5 SD is regarded as a very large effect (Dhaliwal et al., 2012).”
- Active Labor Market Policies (2016, background): “This is a serious drawback, for knowing the cost of a program is an absolute necessity when implementing costeffectiveness analyses, which have proved very instructive with regard to educational policies in developing countries (Dhaliwal et al. 2011).”
- Understanding and misunderstanding randomized controlled trials (2016, unknown): “J-PAL's manual for cost-effectiveness (Dhaliwal et al., 2012) explains in (entirely appropriate) detail how to handle variation in costs across sites, noting variable factors such as population density, prices, exchange rates, discount rates, inflation, and bulk discounts.”
