Case Study - 12 to 16 (Question Id - 96)
Based on the given paragraph, answer the following questions.
research conducted by the 2019 Economic Sciences Laureates has considerably improved our ability
to fight global poverty. In just two decades, their new experiment-based approach has transformed
development economics, which is now a flourishing field of research.
Over 700 million people still subsist on extremely low incomes. Every year, five million children still
die before their fifth birthday, often from diseases that could be prevented or cured with relatively
cheap and simple treatments.
This year's Laureates have introduced a new approach to obtaining reliable answers about the best
ways to fight global poverty. It divides this issue into smaller, more manageable lines of enquiry like, for
example, formulating the most effective interventions for improving child health, said a statement from
the Nobel Committee.
In the mid-1990s, Mr. Kremer and his colleagues demonstrated how powerful an experiment-based
approach can be by using field experiments to test a range of interventions that could improve school
results in western Kenya.
Mr. Banerjee and Ms. Duflo, often with Mr. Kremer, soon performed similar studies of other issues
and in other countries, including India. Their experimental research methods now entirely dominate
development economics.
The 2019 Economic Sciences Laureate's research findings have dramatically improved our ability to
fight poverty in practice. As a result of one of their studies, more than five million Indian children have
benefitted from programmes of remedial tutoring in schools, the statement said.
