Public policy research has become increasingly comparative over the past several decades, but the methodological issues involved in this research have not been discussed adequately. This Handbook provides a discussion of the fundamental methodological issues in comparative policy research, as well as descriptions and analyses of major techniques used for that research. The techniques discussed are both quantitative and qualitative, and all are embedded in the broader discussion of comparative research design.

The Central Role of Social Science
John Spriggs, Barbara Chambers and Carole Kayrooz
The new millennium has witnessed profound changes to the way donor countries are approaching international development – with the emphasis now on collaborative, people-centred development. This timely book explores how research and research culture need to adapt to mesh with this new reality.
Paulo Albuquerque and Bart J. Bronnenberg
We present an illustration of how marketing and structural models can be applied in a public policy context. We describe the demand model in Albuquerque and Bronnenberg (2012) to evaluate the impact of the 2009 federal policy measure known as the “Car Allowance Rebate System” program (or “Cash for Clunkers”) on prices and demand in the auto sector.

Despite the wide scope for survey evidence used in litigation, the relevance and usefulness of expert-submitted surveys in any legal context is dependent on how they are designed and implemented. The avoidance of bias in survey evidence is central to a survey’s admissibility and the probative weight accorded to the survey expert’s testimony. This chapter discusses possible sources of bias and describes methods and techniques that a survey expert can use to minimize this bias.
