Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Should chronically disruptive students be allowed to remain in public schools? Should nonagenarians receive costly medical care at taxpayer expense? Who should be first in line for kidney transplantsthe relatively healthy or the severely ill? In T argeting in Social Programs , Peter H. Schuck and Richard J. Zeckhauser provide a rigorous framework for analyzing these and other difficult choices. Many government policies seek to help unfortunate, often low-income individualsin other words, ""bad draws."" These efforts are frequently undermined by poor targeting, however. In particular, when two groups of bad draws""bad bets"" and ""bad apples""are included in social welfare programs, bad policies are likely to result. Many politicians and policymakers prefer to sweep this problem under the rug. But the costs of this silence are high. Allocating resources to bad bets and bad apples does more than waste moneyit also makes it harder to achieve substantive goals, such as the creation of safe and effective schools. And perhaps most important, it erodes support for public programs on which many good bets and good apples rely. By training a spotlight on these issues, Schuck and Zeckhauser take a first step toward much-needed reforms. They dissect the challenges involved in defining bad bets and bad apples and discuss the safeguards that any classification process must provide. They also examine three areas where bad apples and bad bets loom largepublic schools, public housing, and medical careand propose policy changes that could reduce the problems these two groups pose. This provocative book does not offer easy answers, but it raises questions that no one with an interest in policy effectiveness can afford to ignore. By turns incisive and probing, Bad Draws will generate vigorous debate. Who should be first in line for kidney transplantsthe relatively healthy or the severely ill? Should chronic troublemakers be allowed to remain in public housing or in public school classrooms? Peter Schuck and Richard Zeckhauser take on such vexing policy dilemmas in Targeting in Social Programs. This item is printed on demand.
