In the past year, researchers across the globe have shifted from primarily face-to-face to a variety of remote data collection modes.This has resulted in a new research paradigm that embraces modern digital solutions.However, evidence on the trade-offs between different remote surveying methods, and data quality constraints, remains limited.During this webinar on April 14, 2021, the Busara Center for Behavioral Economics, Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), and IDinsight brought together expert research organizations to share their findings on questions related to remote research approaches.
