Contents Notes Getting started: From "it worked there" to "it will work here" -- Paving the road from "there" to "here" -- Strategies for finding what you need to know -- RCTs, evidence-ranking schemes, and fidelity -- Deliberation is not second best. "Over the last twenty or so years, it has become standard to require policy makers to base their recommendations on evidence. That is now uncontroversial to the point of triviality--of course, policy should be based on the facts. But are the methods that policy makers rely on to gather and analyze evidence the right ones? In Evidence-Based Policy, Nancy Cartwright, an eminent scholar, and Jeremy Hardie, who has had a long and successful career in both business and the economy, explain that the dominant methods which are in use now--broadly speaking, methods that imitate standard practices in medicine like randomized control trials--do not work. They fail, Cartwright and Hardie contend, because they do not enhance our ability to predict if policies will be effective."--Publisher's website.
