Research in the Impact Evaluation Lab examines how education policies, programs, and institutions shape decisions and outcomes across different contexts. Our work is driven by substantive questions in education policy and uses rigorous empirical approaches, including experiments, quasi-experimental designs, large-scale data, and machine learning.
The Lab has a strong international and comparative orientation, with particular attention to East Asia and Latin America. Across projects, we study questions involving students, families, educators, schools, and education systems, with an emphasis on producing credible evidence that is both academically meaningful and relevant for policy and practice.
