Abstract

In dynamic, technology-driven economies, policy makers operate under bounded rationality resulting in adaptive policy making. This paper claims that the collective benchmarking of policies is useful in facilitating policy learning and, therefore, improving the effectiveness of adaptive policy making by guiding the search for successful policies and exploiting various learning sources. However, the necessary condition for increasing performance is the implementation of the new policy understanding in the participant countries. Recently, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the European Union have applied benchmarking to support policy learning in their member countries.
