| description |
This paper describes a methodology for
collecting information to monitor reform programs at the
microeconomic level. Since narrowing the focus makes the
explanation of this methodology more tractable the paper
restricts its attention to the industrial sector. A more
comprehensive monitoring of adjustment would include other
economic sectors, as well as social indicators, such as
poverty alleviation. A rather standard reform package is
also assumed, one that has been implemented in several
African countries. Additionally, since adjustments to
changes in incentives take time and may proceed at different
rates at different points of time, the monitoring exercise
is designed to collect data over a sufficiently long period
of time to capture the continuing process of adjustment. The
details of what might be done in the first three years of
such an exercise are examined here. |
