AGRICULTURAL POLICY ANALYSIS: DISCUSSION

Lyle P. Schertz

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1996, vol. 28, issue 01, 5

Abstract: Agricultural economists are appropriately concerned about their profession's contributions to policy decisions. An examination of alternative approaches to transforming policy analyses is in order. There are opportunities to (a) focus on income and wealth distribution, (b) give attention to the public as a primary client, (c) avoid advocacy, and (d) adjust institutions in ways that encourage participation in policy analyses including the development of data systems.
