About Public Policy Analysis, Social Science Research, MSocSc - at Tampere University

Public Policy Analysis teaches students to use economic tools to address broad societal problems. Studies extend economic analysis beyond the traditional focus on market interactions to examine the intended and unintended consequences of policies and to explore how and when individual self-interest among politicians, interest groups etc. help or hinder public interest.

Public policy analysis involves understanding institutional design, policy evaluation and implementation, and decision-making. The methods include microeconomics, game theory, experimental economics, spatial econometrics, social choice theory and econometrics.

Public policy studies prepare students for doctoral research or for careers as professional policy analysts in policy planning and evaluation units of government agencies or ministries, the staff of elected and appointed public officials, consulting firms, and non-government organisations. It also provides an essential background in policy for people wishing to work as translators for government institutions.
