The “Compleat” Policy Analyst
In this article, the authors provide a list of the top 10 ways to become a “compleat” policy analyst, drawing on lessons from their own experience as policy analysts. The authors make no claims that their list is unique. However, they suggest the items included within it are supported in the academic and practitioner‐oriented literature. Counting down from number 10—“The compleat policy analyst knows how to skip steps”—the authors present and com…
Monitoring the Community Impacts of the Northwest Forest Plan
Use of existing data sources has made the social indicators approach an attractive method for anticipating the social and economic effects of policy changes on resource-dependent communities. Despite its practicality, this approach is severely limited by data availability and reliance on aggregate figures that obscure variation between smaller areas. A forest-dependent community in Washington State was studied in an attempt to discern the effects…
Compliance Costs of Small and Larger Businesses
Government Paperwork
Frustration with government-required paperwork is widespread among businessmen. Valuable time seems to be increasingly tied up in keeping records and submitting reports for a plethora of government agencies. Small firms have found paperwork especially onerous due to the limited administrative staff of such firms. The Paperwork Reduction Act (Public Law 96-511), passed in 1980, requires federal agencies to prepare paperwork budgets and to strive t…
Alternative Arrangements for Cost Effective Pollution Abatement
After examining policies and proposals designed to achieve cost-effective pollution abatement, the authors argue that design of economically elegant solutions to pollution control problems needs implementation analysis if the policies are to be successfully carried out. They review some institutional obstacles to implementation and conclude that these impediments should not prevent adoption
Eigenvector Status Proxies in Markov Chain Mobility Models
In Markov chain studies of occupational mobility, an interesting empirical pattern has been reported. Certain transrtion matrix eigenvectors provide surprisingly accurate proxies for occupational status. Through a number of formal illustra tions, this paper suggests why the pattern might in theory be expected, in the occupational mobility context and in other mobility contexts
