“…Effectiveness is widely acknowledged to be the fundamental goal of any policy design and is receiving considerable attention from design scholars. This is not surprising as effectiveness is generally considered the foundation upon which additional goals-such as sustainability, public value, or justice-may be constructed (Bali et al, 2019;Howlett, 2018b;Mukherjee & Bali, 2018;Peters, 2018;Peters et al, 2018;. Peters et al (2018) even argued that effectiveness is why policymakers, either implicitly or explicitly, engage in policy design in the first place.…”

The importance of policy design fit for effectiveness: a qualitative comparative analysis of policy integration in regional transport planning

Policy design has returned as a central topic in public policy research. An important area of policy design study deals with effectively attaining desired policy outcomes by aligning goals and means to achieve policy design fit. So far, only a few empirical studies have explored the relationship between policy design fit and effectiveness. In this paper, we adopt the multilevel framework for policy design to determine which conditions of policy design fit—i.e., goal coherence, means consistency, and congruence of goals and means across policy levels—are necessary and/or sufficient for policy design effectiveness in the context of policy integration. To this end, we performed a qualitative comparative analysis of Dutch regional transport planning including all twelve provinces. Outcomes show no condition is necessary and two combinations of conditions are sufficient for effectiveness. The first sufficient combination confirms what the literature suggests, namely that policy design fit results in policy design effectiveness. The second indicates that the combination goal incoherence and incongruence of goals and means is sufficient for policy design effectiveness. An in-depth interpretation of this counterintuitive result leads to the conclusion that for achieving policy integration the supportive relationship between policy design fit and policy design effectiveness is less straightforward as theory suggests. Instead, results indicate there are varying degrees of coherence, consistency, and congruence that affect effectiveness in different ways. Furthermore, outcomes reveal that under specific circumstances a policy design may be effective in promoting desired policy integration even if it is incoherent, inconsistent, and/or incongruent.

“…Desde el enfoque de la administración, referirse a capacidades es considerar la capacidad que tienen las instituciones para coordinar y prestar servicios públicos (Painter & Pierre, 2005) por lo que se relaciona fuertemente con el éxito en los resultados de las políticas (Woo, 2020). Las capacidades son propicias para responder a problemas o crisis que requieren inmediatez, por lo que la literatura ha identificado capacidades políticas, económicas, ideológicas, técnicas, de infraestructura, militares y fiscales (Bali & Ramesh, 2018;Howlett & Ramesh, 2016;Mukherjee & Bali, 2018).…”

Este artículo busca comprender las diferencias y similitudes en las respuestas económicas y de salud adoptadas por los gobiernos de Colombia y Ecuador para hacer frente a la pandemia por Covid-19. Para ello, clasificamos las medidas implementadas y las asociamos a las capacidades fiscales y organizativas en cada país. Los resultados demuestran semejanzas en la implementación de medidas para reducir los impactos negativos sobre el sector empresarial y turístico; mientras que se evidencian grandes contrastes en las medidas de estímulo fiscal, que incluye la renegociación de la deuda externa, y en la distancia temporal para la implementación de medidas sanitarias.

“…In the same vein, Chindarkar et al (2017) argued that context influences how policy instruments affect individual and collective behaviour to produce policy outcomes. Together, these studies indicate that goodness-of-fit reflects the extent to which policy instruments are compatible with the broader governance and political context (Mukherjee & Bali, 2018).…”

“…Peters et al (2018) even stated that effectiveness is why policymakers, implicitly or explicitly, engage in policy design in the first place. It is considered to be the foundation of any design upon which additional goals such as sustainability, equity or efficiency are constructed Howlett, 2018b;Mukherjee & Bali, 2018;Peters, 2018a;Peters et al, 2018;. In this setting, policy design effectiveness is commonly expressed as a measure for goal attainment; i.e.…”
