JUDGMENT POLICIES USED IN ASSESSING ENTERPRISE‐ZONE ECONOMIC SUCCESS CRITERIA*
研究了公共官员在地方经济发展决策中使用的判断策略,发现不同官员对经济成功标准的重视程度存在差异,并讨论了专家判断的政策基础及其对决策过程的影响。
ABSTRACT This paper reports on a study of the issue relationships and priorities used by public officials in making local economic‐development policy decisions. Economic success criteria for evaluating distressed areas were compared and were found to vary in importance among officials. Policy bases of expert judges were determined. Their differences, as well as the implications of including this type of knowledge in the decision‐making process, are discussed. Recommendations for a more detailed understanding of the public‐policy decision process in economic development, through the use of a policy‐capture approach, are made.
