Description
Introduction: No need to get fancy here, a few sentences are all that is needed. The rest of the memo will elaborate.
● “This memorandum is in response to your request for an analysis of policy XYZ.” *
● Perhaps add a sentence letting the reader know they may contact you if they have further questions (and at what contact). The introduction should be 200-300 words single spaced
Policy Considerations: Policy Considerations What should policymakers know more about that you did not address in the core of your analysis? You are not a political consultant. Stick to economics.
● Are there design issues to consider? Examples: adjust the income limits, the tax rate, modify what is subject to regulation, etc.
● Are there alternative or complimentary policies that could be considered.
● Note: one option is to maintain the status quo (i.e., do nothing). This section should be about 400-600 words singles spaced
