From the folks at Behavioural Economics Team of the Australian Government (BETA)
BETA works across all parts of the policy cycle, applying various approaches and techniques to support policy decision making and develop solutions.
Deciding which methodology to use often depends on the ultimate goals of the evaluation and feasibility. In all our projects, BETA strives for rigour and completeness, while adopting a pragmatic and resource-sensitive approach.
