Fieldwork in Development Economics

Welcome to STICERD's "virtual center" for fieldwork in Development Economics. The purpose of this site is to serve as a resource for faculty and graduate students in economics who are doing or would like to do fieldwork. Currently, we have posted a number of general resources, but as part of the interactive growth in this site, we hope to provide a forum for the discussion of issues of methodology.

The site contains the following sections:

questionnaires: we list links for questionnaires that have been used. Feel free to either send us your questionnaire or any relevant links
methodology: we list economic and selected non-economic resources that provide general guidelines on methodology
datasets: a partial list of sites with datasets with public access.
questions & answers: this will be for the discussion of issues that people would like feedback. New questions are welcome. To post an issue or response, please mail the administrator M.P.Goldstein@lse.ac.uk
books & articles: a list of some relevant economic and non-economic sources for general fieldwork issues, this also includes some publications on ethical issues
Hopefully this site will grow over time. If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, please email the administrator, Markus Goldstein M.P.Goldstein@lse.ac.uk
