Meta-analysis in Development Economics: Methods and Applications Workshop

Researchers often struggle with generalising randomised control trial evidence across different contexts, which is why meta-analysis becomes crucial to synthesise findings or a body of evidence. The Mind & Behaviour Research Group hosted a workshop for affiliated researchers that focused on the benefits of meta-analysis as well as on how to implement it. 

The workshop included session leaders from the University of Oxford, as well as Rachel Meager from the London School of Economics, Eva Vivalt from the Australian National University and Michael Gechter from the Pennsylvania State University.
