# Development Economics Guide
A skill for conducting development economics research, covering impact evaluation methods, field experiment design, household survey analysis, key data sources, and the methodological toolkit used to study poverty, education, health, and institutions in developing countries.

Fundamental question: What is the causal effect of a program/policy?
Challenge: We observe outcomes for treated individuals, but we cannot
observe what would have happened to them without treatment
(the counterfactual).
