Class Description:
This course guides students through the structured process of policy analysis including problem identification, gathering evidence, specifying and assessing policy alternatives, forecasting outcomes, evaluating projected outcomes against criteria, and writing recommendations. Policy choices involve consideration of multiple criteria including efficiency, equity, and political feasibility, along with the many tradeoffs among economic, social, and ethical dimensions of alternative policies. The course offers students the opportunity to apply the framework of policy analysis to their choice of policy problem. Students will write an individual policy memo over the course of the semester with opportunities for feedback, revision, and refinement.
