Topic of thesis: "What to Do with Policy Evaluation Results? Inquiry on How Knowledge Is Used by Politicians"
Abstract: Results of policy evaluation are an important instrument for the development of future public policies. In order to respond to collective problems, policymakers need to know whether a particular policy, implemented some time before, has produced the expected effects. The problem is that politicians show a little interest in policy evaluation results because they are prone to a consensus building rather than to a development of good policies as well as other substantive results. However, in some contexts, results of policy evaluation have a larger weight than in some others. The aim of the research is to measure these differences in order to see if they are significant, and which factors influence them.
