Hi everyone!
I am new to much of the impact evaluation world and trying to learn it on my own from the internet. I am looking for some advice and help from some of you on a study I am conducting. It is a small research projects based in an Indian village. Here is my brief on analysis I am doing. Can you please advice me whether this is correct and defendable for impact evaluation? The topic is “Impact of Farm Access Roads on Farm Productivity in ABC village of XYZ district in India”.
Firstly, the three research questions are:

Firstly, the three research questions are:
- What is the impact of the farm access roads on increase cropping intensity?
- What is the impact of the farm access roads on mechanization of farms?
- What is the impact of the farm access roads on ‘physical burden’ experienced by farmers?
- Cropping intensity for both groups after implementation of scheme – data in terms of %age (eg: 143%)
- Mechanization: Number of machines used in farm after implementation of scheme (data in terms of numbers, 4,5,6)
- ‘Physical burden’ experienced by farmers calculated in terms of hours taken to go to and from house to their fields. (data in terms of minutes)
