摘要

农业推广项目必须证明其价值,以争取有限的政府资金。当扩展专业人员测量他们的程序的价值时,存在这样的风险,即他们报告的信息将提供有偏见的或不准确的价值度量。我们检查了推广项目和推广人员的评估过程,以确定潜在的偏见或不准确的来源。我们发现,项目评估中的偏见和不准确往往源于对短期结果的关注,而不是对长期影响的关注,而人员评估中的偏见可能源于扩展人员与其评估人员之间存在的信息不对称。

Are we measuring impact accurately? Identifying potential sources of bias in the evaluation of extension personnel and programs

Agricultural extension programs must demonstrate their value to compete for limited government funding. As extension professionals measure the value of their programs, the risk exists that the information they report will provide a biased or an inaccurate measure of value. We examine the evaluation process for extension programs and extension personnel to identify potential sources of bias or inaccuracies. We find that bias and inaccuracy in program evaluation often stems from a focus on short-term outcomes, rather than long-term impacts, while bias in personnel evaluation can result from information asymmetries that exist between extension personnel and their evaluators.
