how do you measure if unconditional cash transfers or conditional cash transfers are better?

different disciples have different research methods. they also have different goals (= what they would like UCTs or CCTs to 'achieve', and therefore would measure 'success' differently)

economics is an obvious discipline that would study UCTs and CCTs, but other disciplines that might be interested could be, for example, anthropology.

economics' 'goal' would be a rise in GDP, for example. so they could research if the GDP has risen since this monetary help was introduced.

anthropology might want different results, such as human happiness, self-autonomy, etc. they might conduct ethnographic fieldwork in communities that receive financial aid, to research if it is improving the quality of life of those people.

there is no one objective of monetary aid, or one research method! different fields have to come together...
