Cod.26600044

CONTEXTUALIZACIÓN

In any typical context in the public or private sectors is now common to take informed decisions based on evaluations. This course attempts to present the basic methodology to do impact evaluation of programs or policies. Impact evaluation should involve the definition of an outcome, the description of the objectives of the program or policy and the application of a method to extract causal effects of the program or policy on the outcome. This way of doing is the base to inform decisions for impact evaluation of socio-economic programs or policies.
