Series of webinars on case studies in evaluation of EU policies on November 24, December 2 and 9, 2020
Microeconomic Evaluation
The 7th edition of the HEW workshop will focus on evaluations of current or past health policies and on analyses which shed light on important health policy questions.
The COMPIE 2020 > 2021 conference will bring together practitioners and academics to discuss developments in the theory and the applications of counterfactual methods for policy impact evaluation. Because of the travel restrictions related to the Covid-19, the conference is postponed to June 2021.
The op-ed observes that the ethical use of science has always benefited citizens, and it presents new benefits that citizens can nowadays derive from research on the effectiveness of public policies, thanks to the safe access to linked public registries. It gives account of experiences in this field in different European countries, it highlights the roles of the scientific community, and it argues that each country could experience positive effects via learning about the effectiveness of public policies in other European countries.
The JRC organises a roundtable on how can EU policies benefit from new microdata and a presentation of the book Data-Driven Policy Impact Evaluation: How Access to Microdata is Transforming Policy Design.
On 19 May 2016, the JRC launched a Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation. This centre will be a network bringing together relevant policy and scientific expertise from across the Commission, and external experts from around the world, to perform impact evaluations.
