IVAROLA, LEONARDO. ALTERNATIVE CONSEQUENCES AND ASYMMETRY OF RESULTS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIOECONOMIC POLICIES. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2019, vol.68, n.171, pp.13-36.  Epub 15-Feb-2020. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v68n171.63862.

The knowledge used to structure and implement socioeconomic policies generally refers to causal assertions that can be conceptualized differently; however, they tend to disregard the central issue of alternative consequences or deviations that arise in case of failure, which can cause negative effects. The paper argues that a successful implementation entails taking these alternative consequences into account. This implies a substantial change in the way decisions are made, in which the asymmetry of results becomes relevant.

Palabras clave : asymmetry of results; alternative consequences; socioeconomic policies; decision making.
