Essay Contest for Excellence in the Pursuit of Measurement
Organizer:
Fraser Institute
Key Dates

They seek to identify public policy issues that should be measured
Measurement should be a key component of any debate on public policy. Measurement transforms issues that are otherwise abstract or obscure into something concrete or tangible. More importantly, measurement facilitates fruitful discussions and productive public debates.
However, the first step towards measurement involves identifying issues that are important enough to be measured. There are numerous issues that should be measured but have not been measured or measured inappropriately.
We want to hear from you on what public policy issues you would like to see measured. In particular, we would like your comment on an economic or public policy issue that you feel has not been measured or has not been measured adequately.
We seek to identify issues that matter
Following the Institute’s motto “If it matters, measure it,” we seek to measure topics that matter. We want your ideas on an economic or public policy issue that is of consequence to the residents of a country, region, or city and that could potentially shape their future in a positive way. These should be related to the impact of markets on individuals, or the impact of government interventions on the welfare of individuals.
What they want from us
Entries can be in one of two formats: An essay of 500-600 words, or a one minute video essay uploaded online. Entries must cover the following points:
1. A clear thesis statement describing what issue you think should be measured;
2. Why, using facts and a logical argument, the issue should be measured; and
3. How should it be measured, assuming there were sufficient resources and access to relevant data.
A panel of judges will determine the winners based on the submission’s fulfillment of the above points as well as a demonstrated understanding of the importance of measurement and its various implications for economic analysis and public policy.
