The Implementation Game: What Happens after a Bill becomes a Law.
Abstract
Eugene Bardach's new book, the first volume in M.I.T.'s Studies in American Politics and Public Policy series, is an attempt to improve upon recent efforts to think more systematically about implementation as process and problem. Bardach's principal tool is the metaphor of game, which he uses to summarize the behavior of actors involved in implementation of various policy decisions. The metaphor, he says (p. 56), directs us to look at the players, what they regard as the stakes, their strategies and tactics, their resources for playing, the rules of play (which stipulate the conditions of winning), the rules of 'fair' play (which stipu-

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
