Abstract

A relatively new field within economics, policy analytics has experienced rapid growth and yielded insights in many disciplines within the profession. Nonetheless, a theoretical framework from which to conceptualize this nascent field has yet to emerge in the literature. This paper introduces a few concepts that should be useful in establishing a formal policy analytics framework.
