Abstract
Because no‐difference research has been relatively unexplored by evaluators, a series of empirical studies was conducted. In this chapter distinguishing characteristics of no‐difference research are examined, its acceptance by the research community is probed, and possible strategies for conducting no‐difference studies are discussed. The centrality of no‐difference findings within the experimental and non‐experimental paradigms is also discussed.Keywords
