Improving Information for Social Policy Decisions

Panel to Evaluate Microsimulation Models for Social Welfare Programs, Committee on National Statisti - Organizational Body;

Beginning in the 1960s, quantum improvements in data sources, socioeconomic research, and computing technology made it possible to supply information of much greater depth and breadth to the policy process. In turn, the activist posture of the federal government during that period both stimulated the production of policy research and analysis and drew on its results. At one end of the process, policy research helped identify problems and move them onto the federal agenda; at the other end, it contributed to an understanding of the successes and failures of enacted programs. At the middle stage of the process, in which legislative initiatives are debated, the role of information about the costs and benefits of alternative proposals became institutionalized.
