We describe an impact evaluation exercise in the classroom. The proposed Classroom
Randomized Control Trial Game can be used to introduce the nuts and bolts of randomized
evaluation such as the Average Treatment Effect (ATE), Intent–to-Treat Effect (ITT), Sub-group
Average Treatment Effect (SATE), and Externality Effect (EE). The game is easy to implement
and provides students experiential learning opportunity through participating in a simple
randomized control trial of their own.
