Three New Papers on the Future of Randomization in Development Economics

These three papers were published last week in the August 2011 issue of the Journal of African Economies and they focus by and large on a possible marriage between structural models and experimental methods. By combining the empirical strength provided by randomization with research questions that go beyond simple impact evaluation, I believe this will represent a very important area for future research, and I am myself involved in a project of this sort.
