In making its determinations, MCC’s Board of Directors (“the Board”) considers three factors: performance on the defined policy criteria, the opportunity to reduce poverty and generate economic growth in the country, and the funds available to MCC. When considering a country for a subsequent compact, the Board also takes into consideration the country’s track record of performance on implementing its prior compact. To assess implementation of a prior compact, the Board considers the nature of the country partnership with MCC, the degree to which the country has demonstrated a commitment and capacity to achieve program results, and the degree to which the country has implemented the compact in accordance with MCC’s core policies and standards. To assess policy performance, MCC uses third-party indicators to identify countries with policy environments that will allow MCA funding to be effective in reducing poverty and promoting economic growth. MCC evaluates performance in three areas—Ruling Justly, Investing in People, and Encouraging Economic Freedom. The Selection Process has four major steps: Identification of Candidate Countries Publication of MCC’s Selection Criteria and Methodology Publication of MCC Scorecards Selection of Compact-Eligible and Threshold-Eligible Countries Identification of Candidate Countries Candidate countries for the fiscal year are identified based on their per capita income and whether they are legally eligible to receive U.S.

    Sargan 1132 24/10/03 9:59 am Page 384 DENIS SARGAN London School of Economics Sargan 1132 24/10/03 9:59 am Page 385 John Denis Sargan 1924–1996 DENIS SARGAN was the leading British econometrician of his generation, playing a central role in establishing the technical basis for modern time- series econometric analysis. In a distinguished career spanning more than forty years as a teacher, researcher, and practitioner, particularly during the period that he was Professor of Econometrics at the LSE, Denis transformed both the role of econometrics in the analysis of macroeconomic time series, and the teaching of econometrics. He was Emeritus Professor of Econometrics at the London School of Econom- ics when he died at his home in Theydon Bois, Essex, on Saturday 13 April 1996. John Denis Sargan was born on 23 August 1924, in Doncaster, Yorkshire, where he spent his childhood. His paternal grandfather was a blacksmith and wheelwright, who also kept cattle on a small-holding in Conisburgh near Doncaster. Denis’s father, Harry, was the youngest of eight surviving children, all brought up on the farm and smithy. Harry gained a place at the local grammar school—which was at Mexborough—but the family could not afford further education for him. As Harry had always had a great love of horses, and the corre- sponding ability to handle them, on the outbreak of war in 1914, he joined the Cavalry, in the Life Guards. When peace returned in 1918, Harry became a mounted policeman in Doncaster. Denis’s maternal grandfather was the organist and choirmaster of the parish church at Askern (a village near Doncaster), where he managed the Spa Baths.
