Evaluating cash transfers
Randomised or quasi-experimental designs compare households that received transfers with similar households that did not, measuring effects on consumption, schooling and wellbeing.

Causal inference and impact evaluation estimate whether programmes and shocks changed people’s lives, compared with what would otherwise have happened. In this field they evaluate protección social, education and humanitarian programmes and the effects of disasters and conflict on wellbeing.
Causal inference and impact evaluation develop methods to determine whether and how interventions or exposures cause outcomes. They separate genuine effects from correlation. In society and human development and information and public trust, causal inference shows which reducción del riesgo measures actually work. It supports allocating resources toward interventions with demonstrated effect across connected risks. The canonical description is on STEM Commons.
Randomised or quasi-experimental designs compare households that received transfers with similar households that did not, measuring effects on consumption, schooling and wellbeing.
Panel surveys before and after disasters, with comparison areas, estimate effects on income, health and education and how long they last.
Learning programmes are evaluated with comparison groups and validated assessments to estimate effects on foundational skills.

No observed data enters this model: it runs on the teaching values set by the controls, to be replaced with a programme’s own evidence.
En los seis pilares, bajo la dirección de Nexus Consortium
Identification assumptions are probed through placebo tests, falsification checks and análisis de sensibilidad. Replication across settings tests external validity.
| Verificación | Cómo se hace |
|---|---|
| Pre-registration | Evaluation designs and analyses are registered before results |
| Balance and attrition checks | Groups are compared at baseline and attrition is analysed |
| Heterogeneity analysis | Effects are examined by gender, age and other groups |
Unobserved confounding and spillovers can bias estimates. Effects found in one context may not transfer to another.
