Applied Impact Evaluation
Attribution refers to the process of determining the cause of an observed effect, particularly in evaluating the impacts of a program or intervention. It involves identifying whether changes in outcomes can be directly linked to the intervention being assessed, which is crucial for understanding effectiveness and guiding future decision-making. This concept is foundational to assessing how and why certain interventions work, thereby influencing the importance and applications of impact evaluation as well as causal inference techniques.
