英文摘要:
Over the last 30 years, the concept of policy coherence for development has received especial attention among academics, practitioners and international organizations. However, its quantification and measurement remain elusive. To address this challenge, we develop a theoretical and empirical framework to measure the coherence of policy priorities for development. Our procedure takes into account the country-specific constraints that governments face when trying to reach specific development goals. Hence, we put forward a new definition of policy coherence where context-specific efficient resource allocations are employed as the baseline to construct an index. To demonstrate the usefulness and validity of our index, we analyze the cases of Mexico, Korea and Estonia, three developing countries that, arguably, joined the OECD with the aim of coherently establishing policies that could enable a catch-up process. We find that Korea shows significant signs of policy coherence, Estonia seems to be in the process of achieving it, and Mexico has unequivocally failed. Furthermore, our results highlight the limitations of assessing coherence in terms of naive benchmark comparisons using development-indicator data. Altogether, our framework sheds new light in a promising direction to develop bespoke analytic tools to meet the 2030 agenda.

中文摘要:
过去30年来,政策一致性促进发展的概念受到学术界、从业人员和国际组织的特别关注。然而,其量化和测量仍然难以捉摸。为了应对这一挑战,我们制定了一个理论和经验框架,以衡量发展政策优先事项的一致性。我们的程序考虑到各国政府在努力实现具体发展目标时所面临的具体制约因素。因此,我们提出了一个新的政策一致性定义,即以特定环境下的有效资源分配作为构建指数的基线。为了证明我们的指数的有用性和有效性,我们分析了墨西哥、韩国和爱沙尼亚的案例,这三个发展中国家可以说是加入了经合组织,目的是协调一致地制定政策,以促进追赶进程。我们发现,韩国显示出政策一致性的显著迹象,爱沙尼亚似乎正在实现这一目标,而墨西哥显然失败了。此外,我们的结果强调了使用发展指标数据进行简单基准比较评估一致性的局限性。总之,我们的框架为开发定制的分析工具以满足2030年议程的发展方向带来了新的希望。
