PLS 313 Lecture Notes - Lecture 25: Social Philosophy, Sensitivity Analysis
Document Summary
You need this to assess the nature and extent of the problem. What agencies would implement these policies, the context in which you"re working. Practical considerations: only spend time on solid evidence, time is of the essence. Be aware of bias in certain data from advocacy organizations. Have solutions proposed by key political actors and people and organizations. Use to evaluate which solutions produce best outcomes (how are you going to rank them) Every solution has costs and benefits, you can"t really say a solution is best in every way. Think deeply about the ideology you"re bringing forward, helps focus on what"s important. They could use criteria such as hitting a particular target (politically motivated ex: min wage), efficiency (favored by strong rationalists, easy to measure), other values (equality, justice, religious freedom, etc. ) Think about these values, but how you weight them or rank them is somewhat difficult.
