ADARE Partner Publications

This partial list illustrates recent ADARE partner publications, highlighting collaboration among ADARE partners. The list will be updated and expanded to include the reamining partners and new documents. Intentionally omitted in some cases are the multifaceted portfolios of evaluation studies conducted by these ADARE partners with non-ADARE coauthors. Also omitted are many third party evaluation studies supported by one or more ADARE state partners—including Abt Associates, Inc.; Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.; MDRC; and NBER. ADARE partners Georgia State University (Erdal Tekin et al.), the University of Baltimore (David Stevens et al.), and the University of Texas at Austin (Chris King et al.) are not covered here.
