Conducting Ethical Economic Research : Complications from the FieldThis essay discusses practical issues
 confronted when conducting surveys as well as designing
 appropriate field trials. First, it looks at the challenge
 of ensuring transparency while maintaining confidentiality.
 Second, it explores the role of trust in light of asymmetric
 information held by the surveyor and by the respondents as
 well as the latter's expectations as to what their
 participation will set in motion. The authors present case
 studies relevant to both of these issues. Finally, they
 discuss the role of ethical review from the perspective of
 research conducted through the World Bank.

Research, Ethics and Risk in the Authoritarian FieldThis open access book offers a synthetic reflection on the authors’ fieldwork experiences in seven countries within the framework of ‘Authoritarianism in a Global Age’, a major comparative research project. It responds to the demand for increased attention to methodological rigor and transparency in qualitative research, and seeks to advance and practically support field research in authoritarian contexts. Without reducing the conundrums of authoritarian field research to a simple how-to guide, the book systematically reflects and reports on the authors’ combined experiences in (i) getting access to the field, (ii) assessing risk, (iii) navigating ‘red lines’, (iv) building relations with local collaborators and respondents, (v) handling the psychological pressures on field researchers, and (vi) balancing transparency and prudence in publishing research. It offers unique insights into this particularly challenging area of field research, makes explicit how the authors handled methodological challenges and ethical dilemmas, and offers recommendations where appropriate.
