Should policy makers rely on less rigorous evidence from a local context or more rigorous evidence from elsewhere? Should a new experiment always be done locally before a program is scaled up? Must an identical program or policy be replicated a specific number of times before it is scaled up? How can we transport evidence from one context to the others?
