  abstract = {{T}his last decade has seen the emergence of a new field of research in development economics :


randomised control trials. {T}his paper explores the contrast between the (many) limitations and (very


narrow) real scope of these methods and their success in sheer number and media coverage. {O}ur


analysis suggests that the paradox is due to a particular economic and political mix driven by the


innovative strategies used by this new school's researchers and by specific interests and preferences in


the academic world and the donor community.},
