Making a difference through trusted, high‐quality research and statistics
为应用和农业经济学家提供了一个框架，说明如何通过确保研究的相关性、质量、可信度、多样性、公平性和包容性以及有效沟通，使研究成果和数据在政策制定过程中被决策者采纳和使用。
Abstract As applied and agricultural economists, Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (AAEA) members work to provide high quality research and data to inform policy decisions. How do we ensure that decision makers see, and use, our research findings or data in the policy formulation process that includes many actors? The paper provides a framework for how information flows during the policy process and a strategy for effective research and data built around five equally important attributes: relevance; quality; trust; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and communication. Examples illustrate how the attributes lead to high impact information and focus on two federal research and statistics agencies, the Economic Research Service and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The paper concludes with strategies and examples of metrics to measure the impact of research and statistics.
