The Interacting Interest Relationship between the Evaluator and the Supervisor in the Evaluation of a Rural Development Project

This paper looks first at the game relationship between the quality supervisor and the evaluator in the evaluation of a rural development project, and, through corresponding mathematical models established, analyzes the constraints that their strategic choices have on each other´s strategies and gains. It is concluded that the supervisor´s shift in strategy depends on the evaluator and its comparison between the gains it obtains when choosing to provide false information for evaluation and the punishment imposed on it for its doing so, and that the evaluator´s shift in strategy hinges on the supervisor and its comparison between the gains it obtains when choosing to perform a careless evaluation and the punishment imposed on it for its doing so.
