Economics Impact of Evaluation & Xishi Questions Discussion I need a writer help me write comment( response) on these two attachment( name:1 and 2), if you are not sure about what means response. you can see the attachment ( name:example ) question 1 and question 2
COLLAPSE
For the first question. An impact evaluation is an assessment of how the interventions being evaluated affect the outcome, whether intentionally or unintentionally. A correct analysis of the impact requires a counterfactual analysis of what would happen to these results without intervention. A well-designed impact evaluation can answer the question of whether the plan works or not, thus helping to make decisions to scale up. The primary goal of a impact
evaluation is to determine whether a program has an impact, how large that impact is. what’s the impact. It always compares outcomes of those who participated in the program against those who did not participate. This is the counterfactual. The most common counterfactual is to use a comparison group. The difference in outcomes between the beneficiaries of the intervention (the treatment group) and the comparison group, is a single difference measure of
impact.
For the second question, Xishi is one of the four beauties in the history of China. She was born in the state of Yue in the spring and Autumn period. Her every move is very attractive. It’s a pity that her health is not good and she has heartache. Once, when she finished washing clothes by the river and was going home, she was on her way home. Suddenly, because of the pain in her chest, she held her chest with her hands and frowned. Although her appearance
was very uncomfortable, the villagers who saw her praised her, saying that she was more beautiful than usual. A kind of There was a girl named Dongshi in the same village. Because she was not good-looking, he saw that people in the village praised the beauty of Xi Shi holding on with their hands, so he also held on to her chest like Xi Shi, frowned and walked slowly in front of people.
Question 1:
To a great extent, the implementation of an impact assessment is influenced by external factors and interventions, therefore, analyzing the intervention factors, such as projects, plans, or policies can help me understand it. The evaluation procedure can be optimized when these expectations are adjusted. At the same time, when we choose the evaluation method, it is necessary to adjust it according to the characteristics and specific conditions of different objects,
as well as the evaluation method. In addition, using different methods to evaluate the same object can promote their mutual analysis and synthesis, so as to improve the evaluation efficiency and accuracy of the results. Therefore, the following factors should be taken into consideration when selecting the evaluation method: 1) the features of the evaluation object. For instance, the evaluation method is selected according to the scale and complexity of the system.
Meanwhile, the evaluation method is selected according to the process type and process characteristics of the evaluation object. 2) Data possession. If the data of the evaluation objects are complete, qualitative and quantitative evaluation can be carried out, and corresponding qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods can be selected. Otherwise, only preliminary risk analysis and other methods can be used for general evaluation. 3) other factors.
Specifically, it includes the knowledge and experience of the evaluation personnel, the time to complete the evaluation work, the funding support the situation, the equipment of the evaluation unit and the habits and hobbies of the evaluation personnel and management personnel.
Question 4
After reading the lecture reading “Introduction to Evaluations”, it is not hard to find that this article mainly focuses on the comprehensive explanation and analysis of the impact evaluation. Meanwhile, it bases on the way and different types of assessment, the reasons for the assessment, the implementation and randomization of the assessment, and the historical practice scheme, the results are various. Notably, the factors that influence the assessment and the
breakdown of the way people perform the assessment can be found in this article, as well as the issue that how assessment is performed. In particular, the author introduces us to the correct way and process to implement a randomized evaluation. As a result, we can see the rigor and positivity of the impact evaluation. Through the introduction of this article, we can keep a more correct choice in the impact evaluation, so that we can get more effective assessment
results.
Question#3:
Given the case mentioned here, if I were the advisor to the minister, I would suggest the combination of the traditional teaching method, such as using textbooks, together with the visual aids and pictures, i.e. the flip charts to improve the quality of education effectively. This is because improving quality of education is never an easy or simple task, and there’s no single way or approach that can reach that purpose perfectly; after all, the key to improving the
quality of education is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The aim is to increase students’ internal interest in learning and participation, rather than relying solely on external means to pressure students or attract their attention, although this is important to some extent. In this way, the proper combination of the traditional teaching method with the visual aids and pictures together may help better realize the goal of promoting education quality.
Also, improving quality of education should focus more on learning results of students rather than that the costs of doing so, which should not be the primary consideration or placed prior to learning outcomes.
Question#4:
Lesson 1 presentation focuses on “introduction to impact evaluation” by touching on the importance and necessity of evaluation first, and then the definition of evaluation, various methods to evaluation, and impacts of evaluation. The various and different purposes for evaluation help better understand the importance and necessity of evaluation in education as we’ve focused on here. Also, various approaches and conditions to evaluation, such as assessment
(program theory assessment and theory of change) benefit for proper and critical understanding of the nature and scope of the problem, so that the target the population could be defined and better served with the corresponding service offered. In terms of the impact evaluation, it enables to have a clear and more accurate understanding of the relationship between the problem and corresponding measures that are about to be taken to address the problem.
Especially, “correlation doesn’t mean causation” is an important thing that should be considered during the process. What’s more, randomization serves as another essential principle during this process of evaluation as well.

RE: Mod 3 Discussion Impact Evaluation
For question#3, before suggesting the above method/solution to the minister, I would also conduct impact evaluation about the approach I proposed here by focusing on the principle of randomization based on the test scores and results of the students in the school.

RE: Mod 3 Discussion Impact Evaluation
Hi, Yunhao, I think your answers to these questions are really great. The suggestion you made is excellent that you think many details for the suggestion, and you also give supplement to the question 3 to make it more convincing and correct. The randomization is very important for evaluation to make the data more convincing. And your explanation for the “introduction to impact evaluation” is also very perfect that you mention most of the points that need us to think about. Many details
like the ” correlation doesn’t mean causation” is very important for us to understand the introduction to impact evaluation”.
For the first question. An impact evaluation is an assessment of how the interventions being evaluated affect the outcome, whether intentionally or unintentionally. A correct analysis of the impact requires a counterfactual analysis of what would happen to these results without intervention.

RE: question 1 and question 2
Hi Zijian
I enjoy reading your post pretty much. It’s indeed significant and essential to have a correct and proper analysis of the impact in the process of evaluation to see and understand whether the measures are effective enough to deal with the problems with target services and methods. Also, your explanation of nature of impact evaluation helps refresh and enhance my understanding of the concept better. Also. I like the classic example of Chinese beauty Xishi to
illustration the difference between correlation and causation, which is valid and clear enough to illustrate and support the point you made here.
There exists a strong positive correlation between high school GPAs and college GPAs (Cohen and Kurlaender 2019). This relationship is a correlation rather than a causation. A high college GPA is not caused by an individual’s high school grades, but rather individuals with a high GPA in high school also tend to have a high GPA when they get to college. There are many other variables that are also correlated with high school and college GPAs. Student motivation likely has a high correlation with both. Highly motivated students are more likely to get good grades in high school and in college. Socioeconomic
status could also be correlated with these statistics. Individuals who are more financially secure are also more likely to excel in high school and college. Clearly an excellent high school GPA does not cause good grades in college because there are many other variables affecting the measurements. An example of causation would be human contact of various forms (direct, standing close to someone, touching objects someone else touched) and contraction of SARS-CoV-2. This is a causal relationship because one factor is directly caused by the other. Getting coronavirus can only happen if an individual comes
into contact with another individual who carries the virus.
It may indeed be the case that flip-charts are more conducive to student learning, but it would be unwise to launch a full-scale policy intervention before being sure of this fact. If I were the minister. I would advise that we test the hypothesis before implementing the program. To test the theory, I would suggest a randomized controlled trial. This would be the ideal testing mechanism because randomized controlled trials allow us to determine whether differences in outcomes are probably) due to the policy intervention. I would randomly select several schools to be involved in the study. Then, I would randomly
assign half of the schools to the experimental group and the other half to a control group. The experimental group would incorporate flip-chart learning into the curriculum while the control group would maintain their status quo. To analyze the effectiveness of the policy. I would assess whether there were larger gains in educational outcomes (compared to baseline statistics) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Test scores could be one possible metric to assess educational outcomes. If there were considerable benefits for the experimental group over the control, I would advise that the policy
should be scaled-up to include all schools. It would be unwise to implement the change without evidence that it works. Even though flip-charts are less costly, it would not be worth the possibility of poor student leaming outcomes.

RE: Questions 2 and 3
Hi Thomas
Exactly! “Correlation doesn’t mean causation” is the most important thing I’ve learned from this week’s lectures and reading materials and I’m glad that you used an example of GPAs extracted from the reading material to support this statement. For the third question. I agree with you that it’s better to impact evaluation before making decisions, which is something important I didn’t realize until I read your post. I think this is the value of impact evaluation—to
make us better understand the relationship between problems and targeted population the results there would have after the implementation of the corresponding approaches here.
