Dimensions of Parallelism: Some Policy Applications of Experimental Methods
Abstract
This paper outlines several strategies that have been employed in attempts to use experimental methods for actual policy decisions. The topic to be explored is how policy issues have been posed in policy related studies so that experimental methods could be applied. The discussion is limited to ten instances that have involved me personally at some level of effort.
