This paper uses a randomized controlled trial to compare matching grants earmarked for technical training and consulting services with more flexible cash grants and with a control group. The results indicate that the cash grants generate higher impacts and are also more cost-efficient than the earmarked grants.
Sidiki Soubeiga was a former doctoral student at the Chair. Michael Weber is a Senior-Economist at the World Bank in Washington D.C., USA.
