Información General

Resumen

  • This collective work addresses the intrinsic complexity of impact evaluation in development programs through an innovative and practical lens. Moving beyond traditional technical manuals, this volume brings together global leaders in economics and public policy to offer a series of essays exploring the "invisible" dimensions of research: the political challenges, logistical constraints, and ethical dilemmas that arise when implementing real-world experiments. Through flagship case studies in sectors such as education, healthcare, and institutional efficiency —with a particular focus on Latin America and the Caribbean— the authors demonstrate how scientific evidence can transform public management. The book presents impact evaluation not as an end in itself, but as a vital tool for organizational learning and knowledge transfer, providing critical lessons on replicability, scalability, and resource optimization to improve the welfare of the most vulnerable populations. The six essays included in this volume are tailored for a diverse audience —including development professionals, academics, policymakers, and engaged citizens. Whether seeking to maximize the quantifiable impact of a specific intervention, operationalize a development policy, or simply gain a deeper, more informed understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this field, every reader will find invaluable insights and reflections within these pages.
