Extract

Robinson and Colyer, Skees, and Zilberman offer a number of propositions for improving economists' impact on public policy. Unanswered is what the potential impact on policy would be if these propositions are fulfilled. Couching these propositions in economic theory provides some clues for answering this question. Thus, the main point of this discussion is outlining the role that theory can play in developing hypotheses on the potential impact of these alternative propositions.
