Abstract
Although it is widely believed that evaluation theory is practice-base d, it is rare to see any systematic examination of the fit between the two. This address, given at AEA's most recent meeting in San Diego, u ses a data base of about 300 published evaluations to compare some of the lessons learned in recent practice against some of our more hallow ed theoretical precepts.
