Which one of the following is not true about ex-ante policy analysis ?
Answer: D
The statement that is not true of ex-ante analysis is that it focuses on analysis of past policies.
Ex ante means 'before the event'. Ex-ante policy analysis is done before a policy is adopted or implemented: the analyst forecasts the likely consequences of the proposed policy and its alternatives, to help choose among them. So options A, B and C describe it correctly.
Analysis of policies already in force, looking back at what they actually achieved, is ex-post (retrospective) analysis, the domain of policy evaluation. Describing ex-ante analysis as a study of past policies confuses the two.
