Education Finance and Policy, 2012, vol. 7, issue 2, 219-232

Abstract: Research based on randomized experiments (along with high-quality quasi-experiments) has gained traction in education circles in recent years. There is little doubt this has been driven in large part by the shift in research funding strategy by the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences under Grover Whitehurst's lead, described in more detail in his article in this issue. © 2012 Association for Education Finance and Policy
