非政府组织与干预措施的有效性

中文摘要

非政府组织（NGO）实施的项目往往比其他主体实施的同类项目更为有效，然而，关于实施者身份如何影响最终结果，目前所知相对有限。我们将印度的一项分层田野实验与三重差分估计策略相结合，表明某当地发展型非政府组织此前与目标社区的联系与互动，使在这些地区实施的一项技术推广项目的有效性至少提高了30%。这种“非政府组织声誉效应”对与当地实施伙伴合作开展的实验研究所得证据的可推广性和可扩展性具有启示意义。

Abstract

Abstract Programs implemented by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are often more effective than comparable efforts by other actors, yet relatively little is known about how implementer identity drives final outcomes. By combining a stratified field experiment in India with a triple-difference estimation strategy, we show that a local development NGO’s prior engagement with target communities increases the effectiveness of a technology promotion program implemented in these areas by at least 30%. This “NGO reputation effect” has implications for the generalizability and scalability of evidence from experimental research conducted with local implementation partners.
