Here are a couple of guidelines for systematic review of academic studies in the social sciences. Most of them focus on heath outcomes, although they can be applied to studies of economic outcomes.

(1) PRISMA-P is the most comprehensive guideline for systematic review of intervention studies. It includes both review protocols and reporting checklists. A detailed guideline (with explanations of each step in the review protocol) is here: http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g7647.long

You probably don't want to read the whole article, but I'd skim the abstract, intro & TOC.

(2) The Cochrane Collaboration has produced a handbook with detailed guidelines for systematic reviews: http://handbook.cochrane.org/

(3) A more detailed description of how to define/limit search terms in a systematic review is here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0260691712000664

For Econlit, we can use search terms like "conditional cash transfer* AND (impact OR evaluation). To find seminal work, we would probably need to include papers from 1997 to present.
