Evaluation of Research Activities in National and International Organizations
The study investigates the methods used by national and international organizations to evaluate the activities of professional researchers and their associated research projects. The study bases its findings on a review of the experiences of the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), US Agency for International Development (USAID), and Organization for American States (OAS). The three major analytical components of the study relate to the professional staff undertaking research activities and the life cycle of their research projects. The study also examines the organizational structure of each institution surveyed and determines the relationship between the research personnel and the operational personnel of the institution. Case studies are presented of the institutions' principal recurrent research. (In three volumes). The Institute of Developing Economies (Ajia Keizai Kenkyusho) (670 pages). December 1993.
