Session: Wednesday 4th July PM (16.00 - 17.30)
Title: Using Data on Social Networks in Programme Evaluation
Name: Mike Brewer
Affiliation: NCRM Node PEPA, Institute for Fiscal Studies
Abstract Details
The session provides two case studies from developing countries on the use of social networks data for programme evaluation. The first explores how the adoption of health behaviours depends on network size, and whether this relation changes when new information on health behaviours is disseminated. The second will explore how responses to an livestock asset transfer program are affected by the presence and characteristics of network members in the same village. Some of these network members might themselves be eligible for the asset transfer programme, the direct impacts of which will be evaluated using an RCT design.
