Centre for Market and Public Organisation to Centre for Evidence-based Public Services

该中心的研究问题涉及公共服务的提供——教育、保健和福利的提供，以及更广泛的公共政策。它采用跨学科的方法，其重点是强烈的国际化，分析英国和更广泛的欧洲的政策改革，并将更多的重点放在发展中经济体的公共政策上。我们工作的主要领域是：A)公共服务提供和福利制度的设计b)教育政策c)健康和经济成果d)城市、交通和环境政策此外，一个跨领域的主题涵盖了数据开发和计量经济学方法。我们的目标是提供对政策设计直接有用的有力的定量证据，并促进这些领域的学术知识。我们的方法结合了尖端的实证技术、新数据的开发和现有行政数据的利用，以更好地了解个人和组织如何应对政策环境的变化。我们的目标是利用这些发现来改善政府的政策制定，并促进对个人和企业行为的理解。我们提议在遗产中心基金下开展的主要活动旨在将我们的研究转化为政策影响，并为围绕政府政策和公共支出影响的公众辩论提供信息。

The Centre addresses research questions covering the provision of public services - education, healthcare and welfare provision, and public policy more broadly. It takes an interdisciplinary approach and its focus is strongly international, analysing policy reforms in the UK and wider Europe, and placing increased focus on public policy in developing economies. The main areas in which we work are:A) Public services provision and the design of welfare systemsB) Education policyC) Health and economic outcomesD) Urban, transport and environmental policyIn addition, a cross-cutting theme covers data development and econometric methods.Our aim is to provide robust quantitative evidence that is directly useful in policy design, and to advance academic knowledge in these areas. Our approach combines cutting-edge empirical techniques, the development of new data and the leveraging of existing administrative data to better understand how individuals and organisations respond to changes in the policy environment. We aim to use these findings to improve government policy making and advance understanding of individual and firm behaviour.The main activities that we propose to carry out under the Legacy Centre Funding aim to translate our research into policy impact, and to inform the public debate around the effects of government policies and public spending.
