A Practical Guide to Doing It Better
Over the last twenty or so years, it has become standard to require policy makers        to base their recommendations on evidence. That is now uncontroversial to the point        of triviality--of course, policy should be based on the facts. But are the methods        that policy makers rely on to gather and analyze evidence the right ones? In        Evidence-Based Policy, Nancy Cartwright, an eminent scholar, and Jeremy Hardie, who        has had a long and successful career in both business and the economy, explain that        the dominant methods which are in use now--broadly speaking, methods that imitate        standard practices in medicine like randomized control trials--do not work. They        fail, Cartwright and Hardie contend, because they do not enhance our ability to        predict if policies will be effective.The prevailing methods fall short not just        because social science, which operates within the domain of real-world politics and        deals with people, differs so much from the natural science milieu of the lab.          Rather, there are principled reasons why the advice for crafting and implementing        policy now on offer will lead to bad results. Current guides in use tend to rank        scientific methods according to the degree of trustworthiness of the evidence they        produce. That is valuable in certain respects, but such approaches offer little        advice about how to think about putting such evidence to use. Evidence-Based Policy        focuses on showing policymakers how to effectively use evidence. It also explains        what types of information are most necessary for making reliable policy, and offers        lessons on how to organize that information.
