DESCRIPTION:Professor Peter John (UCL) will be presenting his new book ‘
 Field Experiments in Political Science and Public Policy’.\n\nRandomised
  Control Trials\, behavioural insights and ‘nudge’ style policy interv
 entions have become popular in government\, development policy\, academia 
 and business. There is\, however\, a lack of information and evidence on t
 he challenges of setting up and implementing these complex social interven
 tions and experimental evaluations particularly documenting when things go
  wrong and why. This seminar series brings together leading academics and 
 policy makers to provide case studies and field stories of how to design a
 nd implement social policy experiments.\n\n\n
