Works in Progress: Post-Hoc Blocking for Quasi-Experimental Impact Evaluation: An example from the Impact Evaluation of the Agricultural Support Program in Georgia

Monday | 19 March , 2018
On Wednesday, March 21, at 18:30 Dustin Gilbreath will give a talk impact evaluation in agriculture: "Post-Hoc Blocking for Quasi-Experimental Impact Evaluation: An example from the Impact Evaluation of the Agricultural Support Program in Georgia".
