摘要:Images of the modern public administrator clash with yesteryear's neutral public servants obediently carrying out the orders of elected politicians.

摘要:Policy makers in the US federal government regularly consult advisory committees, but there is little systematic research on how committee advice influences executive branch policy making. We investigate the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) use of advisory committees when deciding whether or not to approve pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices for marketing. Specifically, using 1997-2006 drug and device approval data, we estimate the influence of committee advice on FDA decision making....
