本研究采用收集的数据集在柬埔寨农村的收获后技术项目的评估，并侧重于项目实施者的异质性偏好，经常被忽视的文献中的方案评价研究。我们关注的是“实施者效应”对受治疗农民参与方案的影响。我们表明，普通农民的异质性方案的参与，可以诱导由于异质性的项目工作人员的特点。特别是，我们指出，通过独裁者游戏衡量的项目工作人员的基线利他主义不断增加受益人培训课程的参与率和参与次数。治疗中心项目工作人员偏好的这种异质性可能是在某个集群级别进行的项目的治疗异质性的来源。虽然很少有研究集中在方案实施者的异质性，我们的实证结果表明，实施者的偏好可能是治疗异质性的一个来源，并意味着一个实际项目的实施的重要性。
This study employs the dataset collected for the assessment of a post-harvest technology project in rural Cambodia and focuses on the heterogeneous preferences of project implementers, frequently overlooked in the literature on programme evaluation studies. We focus on the ‘implementer effect’ on the programme participation of the treated farmers. We demonstrate that the heterogeneous programme participation of ordinary farmers could be induced due to heterogeneity in the characteristics of the project staff. In particular, we indicate that the baseline altruism of the project staff, measured by the dictator game, consistently increases the participation rate and the number of participations in the training sessions of beneficiaries. This type of heterogeneity in project staffs’ preferences across treatment sites could be a source of treatment heterogeneity for programmes conducted at a certain cluster level. While few studies have focused on the heterogeneity of programme implementers, our empirical results indicate that the preference of implementers could be a source of treatment heterogeneity and imply the importance of implementation of an actual project.
