چکیده

while many international organisations have independent evaluations, including the international monetary fund (imf) and world health organization (who), uniquely the world bank in its 2015 world development report sought to ascertain the potential biases that influence how its staff interpret evidence and influence policy. here, we describe the world bank’s study design, including experiments to ascertain the impact on bank staff’s judgements of complexity, confirmation bias, sunk cost bias, and an understanding of the wishes of those whom they seek to help. we then review the bank’s proposed mechanisms to minimise the impact of the biases they identified. we argue that this approach, that we refer to as ‘reflective practice,’ deserves to be adopted more widely among institutions that seek to use evidence from research to inform policy and practice.

How Does the World Bank Measure Poverty?

There is almost never just one way to measure an economic variable, and poverty is no exception. Judgments are required about the best method—given the data available—at virtually every step, starting with the design and processing of the underlying household survey data. The judgments made should be explicit and subjected to independent review. In that spirit, Deaton (this issue) provides a us...
