Getting Practical with Causal Mechanisms : The Application of Process‐Tracing under Real‐World Evaluation Constraints

Over the past decade, the field of development evaluation has seen a renewed interest in methodological approaches that can answer compelling causal questions about what works, for whom, and why. Development evaluators have notably started to experiment with Bayesian Process Tracing to unpack, test,...
