Datahub for Field Experiments in Economics and Public Policy

This repository contains mostly data from randomized experiments in the social sciences, including data from studies run by researchers associated with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL). Data, statistical code underlying published research results, surveys, and documentation are included. To download all materials from a study, locate the zip folder called "Dataverse materials" within each study. Each organization is responsible for curating and managing their own data. Contact for questions/comments: IPA (transparency@poverty-action.org) or J-PAL (data@povertyactionlab.org).

Increasing Financial Inclusion in the Muslim World: Evidence from an Islamic Finance Marketing Experiment Jun 18, 2020 - Innovations for Poverty Action Dataverse Karlan, Dean; Osman, Adam; Shammout, Nour, 2020, "Increasing Financial Inclusion in the Muslim World: Evidence from an Islamic Finance Marketing Experiment", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/D3PNRT, Harvard Dataverse, V1 Low utilization of household credit in developing countries may be partially due to religious considerations. In a randomized marketing experiment in Jordan, this paper estimates the effect of sharia-compliant loan features on demand for credit. To comply with Islamic law, the sharia-compliant product uses a bank fee rather than an interest payment...

Hey Look at Me: The Effect of Giving Circles on Giving Apr 9, 2020 - Innovations for Poverty Action Dataverse Karlan, Dean; McConnell, Margaret A., 2020, "Hey Look at Me: The Effect of Giving Circles on Giving", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/IR4SBY, Harvard Dataverse, V1 We conduct a randomized field experiment with a Yale service club and find that the promise of public recognition increases giving. Some may claim that they give when offered public recognition in order to motivate others to give too, rather than for the more obvious expected private gain from increasing one's social standing. To tease apart these...

Debt Traps? Market Vendors and Moneylender Debt in India and the Philippines Feb 27, 2020 - Innovations for Poverty Action Dataverse Karlan, Dean; Mullainathan, Sendhil; Roth, Benjamin N., 2020, "Debt Traps? Market Vendors and Moneylender Debt in India and the Philippines", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/0KHZMI, Harvard Dataverse, V2 A debt trap occurs when someone takes on a high-interest rate loan and is barely able to pay back the interest, and thus perpetually finds themselves in debt (often by re-financing). Studying such practices is important for understanding financial decision-making of households in dire circumstances, and also for setting appropriate consumer protect...
Long-Run Price Elasticities of Demand for Credit: Evidence from a Countrywide Field Experiment in Mexico Feb 26, 2020 - Innovations for Poverty Action Dataverse Karlan, Dean; Zinman, Jonathan, 2020, "Long-Run Price Elasticities of Demand for Credit: Evidence from a Countrywide Field Experiment in Mexico", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/NDPX4T, Harvard Dataverse, V1 We use randomized interest rates, offered across eighty geographically distinct regions for twenty-nine month by Mexico's largest microlender, to sketch the adjustment from a price change to a new equilibrium. Demand is elastic, and more so over the longer run; e.g. the dollars-borrowed elasticity increases from -1.1 in Year one to -2.9 in Year thr...
