Abstract: Abstract Quantitative policy analysis problems with hierarchical decision-making can be modeled as bilevel mathematical programming problems. In general, the solution of these models is very difficult; however, special cases exist in which an optimal solution can be obtained by ordinary mathematical programming techniques. In this paper, a two-stage approach for the formulation, construction, solution, and usage of bilevel policy problem is presented. An outline of an example for analyzing Israel's public expenditure policy is also given.
