Adaptive policies, policy analysis, and policy-making
European Journal of Operational Research, 2001Abstract Public policies must be devised in spite of profound uncertainties about the future. When there are many plausible scenarios for the future, it may well be impossible to construct any single static policy that will perform well in all of them.

While policy is central to our understanding of the government and conduct of everyday life in both our professional and personal capacities, it is a slippery concept. This paper explores various writers' definitions of the term and looks at some aspects ofpolicy analysis.

A Policy Sciences View on Policy Analysis
2012Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow, Kitty. Let’s pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze, so that we can get through. Why, it’s turning into a sort of mist now, I declare! It’ll be easy enough to get through… In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room.

Performance Evaluation, 2010
We analyze the performance of Size Interval Task Assignment (SITA) policies, for multi-host assignment in a non-preemptive environment. Assuming Poisson arrivals, we provide general bounds on the average waiting time independent of the job size distribution. We establish a general duality theory for the performance of SITA policies.

2012 IEEE International Symposium on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks, 2012
Static analysis of access-control policies is becoming increasingly important. Such analysis can reveal errors and vulnerabilities in the policies, as well as logical inconsistencies, unintended effects, and discrepancies between different policies or different versions of the same policy. In the process, it helps policy developers to better understand

ABSTRACTMuch of the mainstream literature on macroeconomic policy proceeds by making assertions about the relative efficiency of governments and markets. All too often coordination is assumed to be performed by some mythical deus ex machina, such as the Walrasian auctioneer or a benevolent and more or less omniscient government. The limitations of this

This book offers a critical examination of both the discourse and practice of participation in order to understand the significance of this explosion in participatory forums, and the extent to which such practices represent a fundamental change in governance.

Policy Monitoring and Policy Analysis
Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 1993In this article we introduce a policy analytic technique that we call “policy monitoring.” Using data from the Environmental Protection Agency's Hazardous Waste Division, we demonstrate how the technique can be employed in actual practice. The case study demonstrates that EPA enforcements were responsive to stimuli emanating from outside the agency. In

The past several years have seen very rapid development in the area of monetary policy analysis.1 A welcome aspect is the convergence of approaches used by academic and central-bank economists. For example, examination of a notable NBER conference volume2 and/or a special issue of the Journal of Monetary Economics (Vol.

Policy analysis in the Netherlands:
2014The Netherlands is commonly regarded as one of the strongholds of policy analysis. This introductory chapter provides a first overview of developments in policy analysis in terms of academic thinking as well as in terms of its role in policy and politics in the Netherlands. Rather than focusing on one of the schools of academic thinking or practices of
