Credible Methods for Evaluating the Impacts of Amil Programs

KnE Social Sciences / The 2nd International Conference on Islamic Economics, Business, and Philanthropy (2nd ICIEBP) / Pages 823–830

Abstract

Existing studies on the impacts of amil programs are still rare and potentially contain bias in their impact estimates. This paper explains the selection problem common to simple difference method employed by these studies. Then this paper introduces two evaluation designs, difference-in-differences and randomized experiment, that can more credibly estimate program impacts, and still simple enough to be independently conducted by amil institutions.
