In the Netherlands, the election programmes of the political
parties are assessed for their economic impact by an independent
economic bureau. The result of this analysis is published just
before the elections take place. In this way, the voter will be
protected against political parties that try to win the elections
by making popular but unfounded financial promises.
Economic Assessment of Election Programmes contains
contributions of several distinguished economists and philosophers
who consider the gains of this procedure to society. Does the
analysis by the Netherlands' Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis
(CPB) raise the democratic quality of the elections? Can we really
be confident in the tools of economics? The last section of this
volume states the opinion of representatives of the political
parties. This part also clarifies why political parties voluntarily
participate in this process and how they perceive the role division
between the political party and CPB.
