灾后家庭面临许多困难的决定，包括是否重建家园或搬迁到新地区的决定。这些决定受到联邦住房恢复政策及其解释和应用方式的限制。在这篇文章中，我们研究了使用房屋买断计划作为住房恢复政策工具，并评估买断政策使用政策学习理论。根据政策学习理论，政策应该随着时间的推移而演变和改进。相反，对美国实施的买断制的历史回顾表明，与买断制有关的政策学习充其量是有限的。而不是显示从一个迭代到下一个迭代的学习证据，个别收购计划继续反映独特的目标和功能，缺乏迭代过程的证据。我们提出了一个新的类型学组织收购计划，并通过探索这一发现的影响，并提出建议，向前迈进。
Households face many difficult decisions after a disaster, including decisions about whether to rebuild their homes or relocate to a new area. These decisions are bounded by federal housing recovery policy and the ways it is interpreted and applied. In this article, we examine the use of home buyout programs as housing recovery policy tools and assess buyout policy using policy learning theory. According to policy learning theory, policies should evolve and improve over time. Instead, a historical review of buyouts implemented in the United States suggests that policy learning related to buyouts has been, at best, limited. Rather than showing evidence of learning from one iteration to the next, individual buyout programs continue to reflect unique objectives and features, lacking evidence of an iterative process. We propose a novel typology for organizing buyout programs and conclude by exploring implications of this finding and offering recommendations for moving forward.
