Description of a selected RCT -- you will need to track down a published paper or working paper
Look through Banerjee and Duflo chapters 1-4, or the publications (including working papers) on the JPAL website (www.jpal.org), and find a completed RCT that addresses some interesting development intervention. Track down the published paper or working paper (most journals are available via Tripod; use the "econlit" database, which can link you to the paper you are looking for), and write a brief [less than 2 pages!] summary that describes (1) the intervention being assessed, (2) the outcome(s) of interest, (3) the target population for the assessment, (4) the unit of data observation (individuals? households? villages? municipalities?), (5) the randomization design (over individuals? neighborhoods? municipalities?), and (6) the size of the treatment and control groups for the main impact assessment. These can all be bullet points. Finally, (7) report one key finding from the study (the size of some impact) and briefly indicate whether you think there are any major threats to the internal validity of that finding.
