Title: Evaluating emergency programs
First published: 2001
Description: Conventional measures of project quality are not reliable indicators of the value of investments or employment components of emergency programs. The inclusion of these components has costs and benefits that must be somewhat subjectively weighed against those of a benchmark "smart" transfer that costlessly reaches the target beneficiary.
Subjects: Econometric models, Evaluation, Economic development projects, Economic assistance, Assistance in emergencies
