Strategy
Design in Evaluating IMF Surveillance Activity Paul
Duignan and Nils Bjorksten. INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OFFICE INTERNATIONAL
MONETARY FUND. June 2005 Abstract: "For both operational and
accountability reasons, the IMF continually evaluates its surveillance
activities. Doing this involves making nontrivial evaluation strategy
choices, such as finding the right balance between internal and
external evaluation components, deciding at which nodes of the results
chain that evaluation efforts should be focused, and deciding how to
build on the information that is collected. We set out a methodology
(REMLogic) for formulating an overall strategy for evaluating
surveillance that aims to deliver the most useful information to
decision makers at the highest feasible level of causal attribution to
help improve the overall effectiveness of surveillance. We also present
some concrete examples that help to make the proposed approach
operational." (17/06/05)
