The field of Policy Analysis applies social science principles to public policy issues. An analyst's responsibilities vary significantly based on which policy elements require examination, the stakeholders involved, and the timeframe for the analysis. This discipline incorporates various methodologies (such as problem identification, forecasting, proposal development, oversight, and assessment) along with evaluation standards (including cost-benefit analysis, effectiveness, and fairness considerations).
