Economists most frequently contribute to public policy analysis through efforts to identify government’s proper goals (the domain of welfare economics) and to guide the allocation of resources across competing claims (the domain of cost-effectiveness analysis.) Yet a complementary and equally important analytic task is to inform the choice and management of means. Once retraining for trade-displaced workers is identified as a goal that warrants major spending, for example, the analyst’s job is by no means done. Should government run training programs itself, contract with a community organization, issue vouchers to displaced workers, or use a tax incentive to induce firms to provide training? What principles tell us whether direct government supply, delegation to private nonprofits, or for-profit provision is the best approach to park management, foreign aid, or renal dialysis?
