Tools and Methods for PSIA
A variety of tools and techniques are available to carry out PSIA. These tools draw from both economic and social approaches. The choice of tools will depend on the reform being analyzed, the information available, and capacity constraints. Each tool can be used in the context of several types of reform. However, each reform will typically call for a specific mix of tools.
For the various tools and techniques, we typically present a summary description and additional material (software, applications etc.) where available. We will add more tools as they become available. Suggestions for additional tools are welcome at psia@worldbank.org.
Below is an index for the tools and techniques contained in this section. Some of the tools appear in more than one category where appropriate.

Some of the economic tools have been prepared by the Research Department of the World Bank and are presented in the "Toolkit for Evaluating the Poverty and Distributional Impact of Economic Policies". This Toolkit document can be downloaded below. Additionally, individual chapters from the Toolkit are presented within the categories in the left-hand navigation bar.
The Annex of the User's Guide to PSIA, which presents summary tables for 32 tools and techniques, is featured in multiple languages in the box to the right.
