THE STUDY OF ADMINISTRATION IS CONCERNED WITH
QUESTIONS SUCH AS:
1. HOW THE METHOD WAS CHOOSEN,
2. HOW THE MEN (OR WOMEN) WERE SELECTED AND
INDUCED TO COOPERATE IN CARRYING OUT SUCH A TASK,
3. HOW THE TASK WAS DIVIDED BETWEEN THEM,
4. HOW EACH ONE LEARNED WHAT HIS PARTICULAR JOB WAS
IN THE TOTAL PATTERN,
5. HOW HE LEARNED TO PERFORM IT,

FOR THE GIVEN APPLICATION OF RESOURCES."
 IN ORDER TO UTILIZE THE CRITERION OF EFFICIENCY, THE
RESULTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS MUST BE DEFINED
AND MEASURED. CLEAR CONCEPTUAL DEFINITIONS OF
OUTPUT ARE NECESSARY BEFORE MEASURES CAN BE
DEVELOPED.
 ONE OF SIMON'S CENTRAL CONCERNS WAS TO ESTABLISH
THE CRITERION OF EFFICIENCY AS A NORM FOR EVALUATING
ALTERNATIVE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS. SIMON ARGUED
THAT THE "CRITERION OF EFFICIENCY DICTATES THAT CHOICE
OF ALTERNATIVES WHICH PRODUCE THE LARGEST RESULT
FOR THE GIVEN APPLICATION OF RESOURCES."

PUBLIC CHOICE
 PUBLIC CHOICE REPRESENTS ANOTHER FACET OF WORK IN
POLITICAL ECONOMY WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR THE THEORY
OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION. MOST POLITICAL ECONOMISTS
IN THE PUBLIC CHOICE TRADITION BEGIN WITH THE
INDIVIDUAL AS THE BASIC UNIT OF ANALYSIS. THE
TRADITIONAL "ECONOMIC MAN" IS THEN REPLACED BY
"MAN: THE DECISION MAKER."

PUBLIC CHOICE
 THE SECOND CONCERN IN THE PUBLIC CHOICE TRADITION IS
WITH THE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF PUBLIC GOODS AS THE
TYPE OF EVENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTPUT OF PUBLIC
AGENCIES.
 PUBLIC CHOICE THEORY IS ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE
EFFECT THAT DIFFERENT DECISION RULES OR DECISION-
MAKING ARRANGEMENTS WILL HAVE UPON THE
PRODUCTION OF THOSE EVENTS CONCEPTUALIZED AS PUBLIC
GOODS AND SERVICES.

PUBLIC CHOICE
FOUR BASIC ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT INDIVIDUAL
BEHAVIOR ARE NORMALLY MADE:
– FIRST, INDIVIDUALS ARE ASSUMED TO BE SELF-INTERESTED
(NOT EQUIVALENT TO “SELFISH”). THE ASSUMPTION OF
SELF-INTEREST IMPLIES PRIMARILY THAT INDIVIDUALS EACH
HAVE THEIR OWN PREFERENCES WHICH AFFECT THE
DECISIONS THEY MAKE, AND THAT THOSE PREFERENCES MAY
DIFFER FROM INDIVIDUAL TO INDIVIDUAL.

PUBLIC CHOICE
– SECONDLY, INDIVIDUALS ARE ASSUMED TO BE RATIONAL.
RATIONALITY IS DEFINED AS THE ABILITY TO RANK ALL KNOWN
ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE TO THE INDIVIDUAL IN A TRANSITIVE
MANNER.
– THIRD, INDIVIDUALS ARE ASSUMED TO ADOPT MAXIMIZING
STRATEGIES. MAXIMIZATION AS A STRATEGY IMPLIES THE
CONSISTENT CHOICE OF THOSE ALTERNATIVES WHICH AN
INDIVIDUAL THINKS WILL PROVIDE THE HIGHEST NET BENEFIT AS
WEIGHED BY HIS OWN PREFERENCES. AT TIMES THE ASSUMPTION
OF MAXIMIZATION IS RELATED TO THAT OF SATISFYING,
DEPENDING UPON ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE INFORMATION
AVAILABLE TO AN INDIVIDUAL IN A DECISION-MAKING SITUATION.

PUBLIC CHOICE
– FOURTH, AN EXPLICIT ASSUMPTION NEEDS TO BE STATED
CONCERNING THE LEVEL OF INFORMATION POSSESSED BY A
REPRESENTATIVE INDIVIDUAL. THREE LEVELS HAVE BEEN
ANALYTICALLY DEFINED AS INVOLVING CERTAINTY, RISK, AND
UNCERTAINTY.

CONCERNING THE LEVEL OF INFORMATION POSSESSED BY A
REPRESENTATIVE INDIVIDUAL. THREE LEVELS HAVE BEEN
ANALYTICALLY DEFINED AS INVOLVING CERTAINTY, RISK, AND
UNCERTAINTY.

PUBLIC CHOICE
 THE CONDITION OF CERTAINTY IS DEFINED TO EXIST
WHEN:
1) AN INDIVIDUAL KNOWS ALL AVAILABLE
STRATEGIES;
2) EACH STRATEGY IS KNOWN TO LEAD INVARIABLY
TO ONLY ONE SPECIFIC OUTCOME, AND;
3) THE INDIVIDUAL KNOWS HIS OWN PREFERENCES
FOR EACH OUTCOME. GIVEN THIS LEVEL OF
INFORMATION, THE DECISION OF A MAXIMIZING
INDIVIDUAL IS COMPLETELY DETERMINED.

PUBLIC CHOICE
 UNDER CONDITIONS OF RISK, THE INDIVIDUAL IS STILL
ASSUMED TO KNOW ALL AVAILABLE STRATEGIES. ANY
PARTICULAR STRATEGY MAY LEAD TO A NUMBER OF
POTENTIAL OUTCOMES, AND THE INDIVIDUAL IS
ASSUMED TO KNOW THE PROBABILITY OF EACH
OUTCOME. THUS, DECISION MAKING BECOMES
WEIGHTING PROCESS WHEREBY HIS PREFERENCES FOR
DIFFERENT OUTCOMES ARE COMBINED WITH THE
PROBABILITY OF THEIR OCURRENCE PRIOR TO A
SELECTION OF A STRATEGY.

PUBLIC CHOICE
 DECISION MAKING UNDER UNCERTAINTY IS ASSUMED
TO OCCUR EITHER WHERE (1) AN INDIVIDUAL HAS A
KNOWLEDGE OF ALL STRATEGIES AND OUTCOMES, BUT
LACKS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROBABILITIES WITH
WHICH A STRATEGY MAY LEAD TO AN OUTCOME, OR (2)
AN INDIVIDUAL MAY NOT KNOW ALL STRATEGIES OR ALL
OUTCOMES WHICH ACTUALLY EXIST.

PUBLIC CHOICE
 UNDER CONDITIONS OF UNCERTAINTY, THE
DETERMINATENESS OF SOLUTIONS IS REPLACED BY
CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE RANGE OF POSSIBLE
"SOLUTIONS."
 ESTIMATIONS ARE MADE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES
OF STRATEGIES.
