Abstract
Although cash transfers are now widely used within development and social
policy, there is still limited discussion over how (and indeed whether) cash
transfer trials and research on them can respect ethical standards. This
Working Paper assesses the latest ethics-relevant literature and advances
a series of proposals for attempting to ensure that cash transfer trials can
take place ethically and with respect for the best interests of participants.
The paper thus strives to lay foundations for the CLARISSA programme’s
cash transfer trial in Bangladesh and the research that forms part of it.
