Research Report: A Software Solution for Rapid Policy Assessment with Reimbursed SMS and Mobile Cash
Schutte, Sebastian; Haer, Roos
International Journal of Social Research Methodology, v21 n6 p685-694 2018
In this report, we introduce a system for running reimbursed surveys via text messages and mobile cash. The key advantage of this approach is the ability to conduct rapid surveys at an extremely low cost. After reviewing existing literature, we describe an automated system for conducting such surveys and demonstrate its merits in a proof-of-principle application in India. We obtain substantive insights on the effectiveness of a policy trial that are in line with expert assessments. This application suggests that our approach can be applied to a wide range of problems including impact assessment for policy or developmental aid, and monitoring of public sentiment, and possibly monitoring of conflict dynamics.
