Part of: Programme evaluation for policy analysis
Date started: 15 November 2012
The relationship between different approaches to policy evaluation often leaves the user bewildered as to which approach is the most reliable. However, the idea that there is one ideal approach for all policy evaluations is misleading. This project has two main objectives. The first is to establish the key relationships between alternative methods for policy evaluation and advance methods where better identification strategies can be devised. We propose to use substantive applications to training, education, tax and welfare policies to illustrate how to make best use of each method and how to interpret the results of their application to the measurement of policy impact. Second, we will pick up the question of research synthesis and examine how best to combine the results from different studies.
