    This bibliography compiles over 300 randomized field experiments across various social settings. It assesses the feasibility and scope of implementing such research despite potential constraints.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Sciences Research
    • Program Evaluation
    • Public Policy Analysis

    Background:

    • Extensive field experiments have been conducted in diverse social settings, including justice, health, education, and welfare programs.
    • A significant body of research exists, spanning from 1944 to 1978, primarily within the U.S. context.
    • The practical application of randomized field tests is often hindered by managerial and political constraints.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of existing randomized field experiments.
    • To assess the feasibility and scope of conducting randomized field tests in real-world settings.
    • To inform researchers and policymakers about the potential and challenges of field experimentation.
