Charles Schultze (1965, Director of the Bureau of Budget) transferred PPBS from the Pentagon to social welfare agencies (Departments of Health, Education and Welfare, Office of Economic Opportunity etc)Proponents II: Proponents II Later years – Social Reform Analysis Sargent Shriver Task force on anti-poverty programs Charles Schultze Bureau of Budget Henry Rowan RAND Roger Levian RAND and IIASAApplications Phase 2- Policy Analysis: Applications Phase 2- Policy Analysis Establishment of new institutions for social policy analysis: the Urban Institute, IIASA, etc Applications health care: design and experimental testing of school voucher systems education: design and experimental testing of health insurance systems housing: analysis of rent control and the design of a housing allowance system design of public systems for transportation, water supply and communications international: global climate modelingEvaluation: Evaluation fundamentally altered the nature of decision-making in the Department of Defense (“civilianization” at DoD). gave rise to a vast market for policy-oriented social science research; replaced political bargaining with technocratic expertise as the primary means of policy formulation; but in the end, proved too fine-honed, too focused on technical and economic factors, to respond to the messy, politicized urban problems You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
