Extract

Economists play two rather distinct roles in the area of public policy. These roles might be characterized as analytical and operational. In their analytical role, economists develop models designed to evaluate alternative policy measures which either might be or have been adopted by a public agency. In their operational role, economists help develop the specific techniques and estimates necessary to make a chosen policy operational.
