Overview

A case study of the need for analysis and information in support of public policy. It combines lessons learned from one of the first American government agencies devoted primarily to this function with modern economic theory of organizations. The panel provides analysis and insights on: how and why public policy evolves with technological advances; the nature of information and analysis in support of economic policy produced in a government agency; the characteristics of successful information and analysis programmes; how to evaluate the work of a government agency providing information and analysis; and effective administration and organization of research and information programmes in a government agency.
