On 2 June, the Ministry of Economic Affairs organised a meeting on the Benefits and Necessity of policy evaluation. The reason for this was the Inaugural Lecture given by the extraordinary EZ professor, Prof. Dr. Carl Koopmans. Several co-referents reflected on the theme and the recent experiences gained with policy evaluation of and for the Ministry of Economic Affairs, including Bas ter Weel (CPB) and Henry van der Wiel (EZ). Thomas Dirkmaat and Bram van Dijk explained the activities of a newly established unit on behavioural economics within EZ (and the use of policy experiments). Representing Dialogic, Pim den Hertog and Matthijs Janssen presented some insights in the field of policy evaluation based on a recent policy review conducted by Dialogic on innovation and entrepreneurship policy of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Their co-referent can be found here. Both have also been invited to present the outcomes of the review to the Court of Audit on 23 June.
