Throughout the world, voters lack access to information about
politicians, government performance, and public services. Efforts to
remedy these informational deficits are numerous. Yet do informational
campaigns influence voter behavior and increase democratic
accountability? Through the first project of the Metaketa Initiative,
sponsored by the Evidence in Governance and Politics (EGAP) research
network, this book aims to address this substantive question and at
the same time introduce a new model for cumulative learning that
increases coordination among otherwise independent researcher teams.
It presents the overall results (using meta-analysis) from six
independently conducted but coordinated field experimental studies,
the results from each individual study, and the findings from a
related evaluation of whether practitioners utilize this information
as expected. It also discusses lessons learned from EGAP's efforts to
coordinate field experiments, increase replication of theoretically
important studies across contexts, and increase the external validity
of field experimental research.
