Медицинская наука признает, что пациенты не всегда реагируют на лечение так, как ожидают врачи; более того, разные люди реагируют на лечение по-разному и иногда непредсказуемо. Эти различия могут быть связаны с параметрами, которые поддаются наблюдению, такими как возраст и пол пациентов, но на результаты могут влиять и параметры, которые не поддаются наблюдению, такие как образ жизни пациента, или отсутствие данных о состоянии его здоровья. Чтобы преодолеть эту проблему, в течение двадцатого века медицинские исследователи и статистики начали широко использовать методы рандомизированных контролируемых испытаний (РКИ) для оценки эффекта лечения и выделение полученного результата от других предпосылок развития болезни, которые могли повлиять на эффект от лечения. В течение последних десятилетий социологи, желающие выйти за рамки корреляционного анализа, чтобы получить представление о причинно-следственных связях, приняли аналогичный подход. В этой статье дается краткий обзор РКИ в экономике развивающихся стран с особым вниманием к программам, связанным со здоровьем.

Medical science recognizes that patients do not always respond to treatment in a way physicians expect; moreover, different people respond to treatment in different and sometimes unpredictable ways. These differences can be attributed to observable patients’ characteristics, such as age and gender, but also unobservable characteristics can influence the results, such as lifestyle or an unreported health condition. To overcome this problem, during the twentieth century, medical researchers and statisticians began extensively using randomized controlled trial (RCT) methods to assess the effect of the treatment and to separate this effect from other patients’ characteristics that could affect the results. During the last decades, social scientists, willing to go beyond correlational analysis to provide insights on causation, have adopted a similar approach. This paper gives a short overview of RCT in development economics with a special attention to programs related to health in developing countries.
