3. Key take aways for CREW Methodology Define ‘methodology’ broadly at the first instance If the problems are framed properly we easily come to the methodology for research Consumer benefits measured as ‘price’ could be ‘easy’ proxy indicator Blend of quantitative and qualitative methods important No one size fits all methodology recommendable SV NaWi-Kauffmann 2012

4. Key take aways for CREW cont. Country and Sector selection Strategically pick sectors in line with relevance for government(s) Lift discussion above benefits to vested interests Selection of countries based on difference in functioning of market Definition of market is key – narrow focus might be the way to go Important to know the market background to ‘understand’ results Producer Welfare How to sell it to the governments ?
