Robust Evaluation Designs (RED)

The designs include performance, impact and efficiency evaluations.

• Performance evaluation targets learning topics related to developing an index, carrying out project baseline, mid-term and end-line evaluations, cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, etc.
• Inefficiency analysis involves the practical aspects of using of stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), data envelopment analysis (DEA), corrected ordinary least square (corrected OLS), etc.
• Impact evaluation deals with the practical aspects of designing and implementing experimental and quasi-experimental methods of impact evaluation such as randomization, propensity score matching, difference in difference, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity analysis, etc.
