La formation des fonctionnaires ŕ l'économie publique : pour un nouvel agenda - Paris : IIAP, juil./sept. 1989

Although in-service training programmes have included economics, civil servants training in public economics remains unsatisfactory is partly due to the current state of development of public economics as a disciplines in its own right. Still in its inception, public economics lacks an objet and a method. The topics for study are as varied as the methods of analysis (simple, but unssatisfactory, like cost-benefit analysis; interesting, though tricky to handle, like social experimentation)
