Introduction
This paper will evaluate the effectiveness of policy modeling in analyzing and solving
real socio-economic problems by using secondary data (bibliographical sources) such
as the journal of policy modeling and primary data (questionnaire) that is based on
diverse opinions from analysts and columnists specialized in finance and economics
issues, academics, government advisers, supranational institutions researchers, and
think tanks analysts. Additionally, the same paper propose an alternative section that
need to be included in the study of policy modeling through the uses of a new index
that is called ‘Policy Implementation Effectiveness (PIE-index)’. When we are referring
to effectiveness in this paper, we are making reference about the applicability of
policy modeling papers in analyzing and solving partially or fully solve real socio-
economic problems that affect the society on different levels. However, this paper is
divided into six sections: (i) methodology; (ii) the general aspects about the perception
about policy modeling; (iii) an introduction to the ‘policy implementation’ section in
academic papers about policy modeling; (iv) the policy implementation effectiveness
(PIE-index); (v) Application of PIE-Index and PIE-Surface: An Example; (vi) comments
and discussion.
