Science-Based Public Policies

Adolfo Figueroa

Chapter Chapter 10 in Growth, Employment, Inequality, and the Environment, 2015, pp 177-201 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Public policies need positive and normative sciences. Positive science is what this study has presented so far. It is another name for factual sciences. Normative science is a formal science and studies the logical system underlying ethics, values, and norms. In short, while positive science seeks to answer the question of how the world is, normative science seeks to answer how the world ought to be.
