EC516 Policy and Planning Analysis. Please answer THREE questions.

  1. ‘The market for analytical economics is fundamentally a market for policy analysis’ (D. Foley 2001). Critically evaluate this statement. OR How, in your estimation, does Schumpeter’s analysis of ‘ideological bias’ impinge on the domain of economic policy formation and evaluation?
  2. Distinguish, and illustrate, the distinction between Tinbergen’s ‘fixed-targets’ approach to the theory of economic policy and Theil’s ‘optimization’ approach. Which approach, in the context of applied policy analysis, would you find the more plausible?
  3. ‘All the ingredients of the theory of economic policy are problematic and subject to serious criticism.’ Examine in broad outline, either the Target- Instruments relationship or the process of ordering the Social Preference Function as contained in van Velthoven’s (1990) analysis.
  4. Outline Mosley’s ‘satisficing’ theory of economic policy. Does it provide, in your estimation, a viable alternative or a complementary addition to the conventional theoretical approach to economic policy analysis?
  5. Discuss the implications of the ‘Lucas Critique’ for the theory of economic policy and formation.
  6. ‘The theory of indicative planning was arguably the most constructive attempt of non-coercive economy-wide planning, consistent with a market-based economy that was created in the post-war period.’ Discuss.
