Abstract

This study explores how measures of the effect of policy interventions may be influenced by how evaluations are designed, particularly whether measures differ between randomised controlled trials and non- randomised studies of similar policy interventions. IOE Research Briefings are short descriptions of significant research findings, based on the wide range of projects carried out by IOE researchers.
