Title Evidence in Action: Impact of Statistical Capacity, Data Uptake, and Institutional Factors in Policymaking across the Globe
Summary This research examines the impact of evidence on policymaking through an investigation of the effects of statistical capacity, policymakers’ willingness, and political institutions in a cross-country context. It emphasizes the importance of statistical infrastructure, policymakers’ capacity, and effective linkages in the research-policy nexus. It looks at the willingness of policymakers more deeply, by exploring the assumptions of its significance and the complex interaction with political structures. The study finds the importance of long-term investment in statistical capacity and institutional reform, as well as highlighting the importance of further research into the relationship between political institutions in policy making. It further emphasizes the time-variant effects of statistical capacity and multiple facets of data utilization by policymakers.
