We delve into research methods and quantitative techniques for policy analysis, including ex ante policy analysis and policy instruments, benefit-cost analysis, program evaluation, and applied econometrics. Our policy analysis tool kit is extensive and, in our research for solutions to public policy issues, we include:

• Process or implementation studies
• Social experimentation and program evaluation
• Cost-benefit analysis
• Forecasting, risk-assessment, efficiency modeling
• Constrained optimization methods such as linear or multi-objective goal programming
