A practical guide on how to do public sector policy analysis. After a discussion of the idea of policy choices and models and how to choose the correct model, the book looks at specifics: difference equations, queues, simulation, Markov models, defining approaches, cost benefit analysis, valuation of future consequences, linear programming, decision analysis. The final section of the book considers ways and means, the purpose of public choice, achieving desirable outcomes, and putting analysis to work.
