Resumen

Las políticas públicas se diseñan para cumplir determinados objetivos. Las técnicas de evaluación de impacto causal permiten medir los efectos de las políticas públicas en las variables de interés de forma que pueda evaluarse hasta qué punto la política ha logrado sus objetivos. En este artículo se hace una revisión de los principales métodos de evaluación de impacto causal utilizados habitualmente en la investigación académica.
