Book Title: Economic Policy Analysis Playbook

Book Description

Economic policy analysis is under pressure to respond to challenges such as climate change, digital transformation, and inequality—requiring more sophisticated and applied approaches. Economic Policy Analysis Playbook: Tools, Applications, and Global Insights bridges theory and practice, providing a clear framework for designing and evaluating policy. Structured in four parts—foundations, policy incentives, analytical methods, and real-world application—it covers tools such as cost-benefit analysis, multi-criteria analysis, and economic impact assessment, alongside behavioural and data-driven approaches.

Global case studies demonstrate how policies operate in practice across diverse contexts, highlighting trade-offs, unintended consequences, and equity considerations.

Built around a “playbook” concept, the book equips students, researchers, and policymakers to select, combine, and defend policy approaches in complex and evolving economic environments.
