Better analysis means smarter policy. Smarter policy means better lives.

Our Mission

Scioto Analysis provides policymakers and policy influencers with evidence-based analysis of pressing public problems. By making clear the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity impacts of public policies, Scioto Analysis gives decisionmakers the information they need to craft policy that improves lives.

“Having an evidence base and using it wisely means having power.”
— Melody Barnes and John Bridgeland, Moneyball for Government

In study after study, we are finding the same result: that the way we talk about the economy in the United States is impoverished. Policymakers need a toolkit to understand the economy that focuses not just on aggregate output, but also on broad economic impacts, poverty and inequality, health and education, and well-being.
