Abstract

AbstractOf course (many of) you in academia want your work to be relevant, to serve a purpose beyond its immediate role in academic promotion and prestige. Research can get public attention, when it feeds into a current public debate, and can influence policy decisions and potentially shape the future. Funding sources often request information on the policy implications of proposed research. Contributing to public policy can be personally satisfying, career-enhancing, and maybe even welfare-improving.
