A critical analysis of public policy decisions requires a far
greater depth of knowledge than can be received from news reports
and political speeches. Issues such as how best to reduce traffic
congestion, reduce acid rain, improve airline safety or develop a
parcel of land are better understood by organizing, measuring and
weighing the effects of alternative policies. The Economic Analysis
of Public Policy, now in its second edition, is the ideal
introduction to benefit-cost analysis, the economics of efficiency,
risk analysis and present value, and is suitable for those with
only a modest background in mathematics and economics. This brand
new edition of the book has been rigorously updated throughout in
terms of examples and data references, issues covered, and layout
and pedagogical features. Key concepts are reinforced through
multiple problems and discussion questions within each chapter.
This latest edition contains extra material on loss aversion,
global warming, technology, and US health care reform, as well as a
wider range of international examples. Extra tables have been
included in order to clarify more complicated issues. Instructors
will also benefit from the new companion website, which will offer
power point presentations, answers to end of chapter questions, and
a test bank. This textbook encourages its readers to understand and
apply key concepts whilst also learning to appreciate policy
analysis as part of an interdisciplinary, analytical, and political
process that can lead to better government policy decisions. It is
an ideal teaching tool for undergraduate and postgraduate students
engaged in Public Administration, Public Economics, and Public
Policy.
