This is James Stevenson again (previously message 14, on selection bias), from the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). 

Last week we re-launched the CGIAR impact assessment website following a major overhaul. You can find a lot of useful materials for impact assessment of agricultural research at: http://impact.cgiar.org

I would like to thank Matthieu Stigler (message 44) for clarifying the important distinction between self-selection and sample selection. We need to safeguard standards of rigor in impact assessment in order to ensure that we are able to make clear, unbiased recommendations to donors and research agencies about where research is having the biggest impacts on the lives of people living in poverty, and where it is not.
