Na Nizozemskem več stanovanjskih združenj ponuja svoja stanovanja tudi za prodajo. Najemniki novih ali obstoječih stanovanj se lahko odločijo, ali bodo sklenili klasično najemniško pogodbo ali pa ...bodo stanovanje kupili. Strokovnjaki za stanovanjska vprašanja pričakujejo, da bo tako imenovani program strankina izbira deloval spodbudno, vendar številnih vplivov programa še niso ugotovili in raziskali. V tem članku presojamo različne učinke programa. Presoja temelji na mnenjih najemnikov, ki smo jih pridobili z anketo. Najemniki so ponudbe veseli, vendar so njihova pričakovanja in izkušnje, ki se navezujejo na program strankina izbira, drugačni od pričakovanj in izkušenj upraviteljev stanovanjskih združenj in so na splošno manj optimistični.
Over the last twenty or so years, it has become standard to require policymakers to base their recommendations on evidence. That is now uncontroversial to the point of triviality—of course, policy ...should be based on the facts. But are the methods that policy makers rely on to gather and analyze evidence the right ones? This book explains that the dominant methods which are in use now—broadly speaking, methods that imitate standard practices in medicine, like randomized control trials—do not work. They fail because they do not enhance our ability to predict if policies will be effective. The prevailing methods fall short not just because social science, which operates within the domain of real-world politics and deals with people, differs so much from the natural science milieu of the lab. Rather, there are principled reasons why the advice for crafting and implementing policy now on offer will lead to bad results. Current guides in use tend to rank scientific methods according to the degree of trustworthiness of the evidence they produce. That is valuable in certain respects, but such approaches offer little advice about how to think about putting such evidence to use. The book focuses on showing policymakers how to effectively use evidence, explaining what types of information are most necessary for making reliable policy, and offers lessons on how to organize that information.
