| Gaia: | LOLF Indicators : an Opportunity for Democratic Debate ?
Into the core of the French system of state finance and state action, the LOLF has
introduced the evaluation of the results of state action by means of indicators. The author
takes a sample of these indicators, discusses their relevance, and brings to light their
serious shortcomings : often, they fail to pinpoint the principal action of the state in a
precise area, and as a result, only measure accessory elements of this action. Still more
serious, some indicators are not relevant for the evaluation of a given action and can even
lead to results that hardly reflect that action. Others are unusable, and still others are only
able to measure internal activities of the administration without taking into account the
impact of its activities on users or the public in general. The author concludes by saying
that if – as the LOLF stipulates – indicators are to measure not only the results of the state
but also be of use to Parliament for future budgetary choices and serve to judge the action
of administrative managers, they must be completely revised. |
