“…Successful policy mix characteristics include consistency, credibility, and comprehensiveness. Inconsistency and incoherence in the policy mix can be detrimental in achieving policy objectives; therefore, policymakers should focus on policy mix characteristics rather than solely relying on policy instruments (Rogge & Schleich, 2018). In sustainability transitions, a certain degree of inconsistencies and incoherence are expected due to conflicting priorities and mutually exclusive interests between different actors; therefore, considering policy instrument interactions in the long-term orientation are essential elements of a policy mix (Rogge & Reichardt, 2016).…”

“…The policy comprehensiveness determined by the degree to which all issues related to markets, systems, institutional failures, and barriers are addressed can help policymakers overcome policy interaction issues (Rogge & Reichardt, 2016). The credibility of the policy mix approach denotes to what extent mix policies are considered believable and reliable; it is judged by their ability to attract new investments (Rogge & Schleich, 2018). The higher credibility of the policy mix reflects a commitment from political leadership and a degree of alignment with monetary policies (Rogge & Reichardt, 2016).…”

Over the last decade, demand-side policies are increasingly implemented to correct market failures and overcome the systemic problem in complex social-technical systems such as energy transition. This paradigm shift in policy approach results from realizing that relying solely on supply-side policy instruments to push innovative solutions into the market is insufficient. As part of the energy transition, many developed countries have considered Biogas from Waste (BfW) based on the Anaerobic Digestion (AD) process as a realistic renewable energy source and aim to create social, economic, and environmental benefits for their communities. Despite several policy instruments in the UK over the last ten years, the growth of BfW schemes remains subdued and faces market failures. This paper aims to evaluate elements of demand-side policies focused on addressing market failures to increase the diffusion of BfW schemes in the UK. We discussed effective demand-side policies related to the biogas sector in other European countries like Sweden, Denmark, and Italy. In the analysis, we observed UK’s policy instruments do not effectively address market externalities in the biogas sector. We also observed the biomethane market share in the UK is minimal; there is no market policy for green gas labeling towards demand articulation. The paper also made recommendations for policymakers in the UK to address market failures by proposing a push-pull policy model that combines demand-side policy interventions with supply-side policies.

“…Rayner and Howlett 2009;Howlett and Rayner 2013;Howlett 2018), and only a small number of empirical studies have been carried out. These case studies, which predominately focused on the energy sector, provided initial evidence that the temporal dynamics of policy design influences the goal coherence, instrumental consistence and congruence between goals and instruments (Kern and Howlett 2009;Rogge and Reichardt 2016;Kern et al 2017; Rogge and Schleich 2018;Trencher and Van der Heijden 2019). However, these case studies did not include a detailed examination of the interplay between policy design dynamics and fit.…”

Policy design dynamics: fitting goals and instruments in transport infrastructure planning in the Netherlands

Policy Design and Practice

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A policy design is a dynamic mix of goals and instruments that develop over time through processes of layering, drift, conversion, replacement and exhaustion. In the face of these dynamics, it is a key concern for policy designers to maintain fit between policy design elements by sustaining goal coherence, instrument consistency and the congruence of goals and instruments. Even though the temporal aspect is fundamental to new policy design thinking, few studies have dealt with the interrelation between policy dynamics and fit. With a longitudinal case study of Dutch transport planning, this research aims to provide insight into this interrelation and to highlight practical implications. This study reveals an intricate and ongoing fitting process between goals and instruments, in which any moment of coherence, consistency and congruence is temporary. During this fitting process, goals and instruments developed in different and largely separate trajectories. In this case, layering successfully improved congruence, but at the same time created inconsistencies between old and new instruments. To resolve some of these inconsistencies, conversion was used. These findings show that policy design is an ongoing process. The main practical implications of this study are that integrating the design of goals and instruments is an essential first practical step, that the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of policy design performance should be a central component in the ongoing process of policy design, and that a combination of layering and conversion can be a successful design approach to adjust instrument mixes to changing goals.

“…Secondly, this study aims to develop a better understanding of the technical design of policy mixes by providing more insight into the relationship between policy design fit -in terms of policy design coherence, consistency and congruence -and policy design effectiveness. So far, arguments underpinning the positive influence of design coherence, consistency and congruence on policy design effectiveness are predominantly theoretical, and empirical evidence has remained limited (Rogge & Schleich, 2018). Thirdly, in relation to the temporal aspect of new policy design thinking, a growing number of studies argue how policy designs are not usually created on a 'clean sheet' but, instead, develop incrementally over time, building on existing policy elements (e.g.…”

“…Rogge et al, 2017;Schmidt & Sewerin, 2018). This also applies to the relationship between policy design fit and effectiveness which, to date, has undergone limited empirical testing (Rogge & Schleich, 2018). Consequently, the evidence for the positive relationship between policy design fit and policy design effectiveness has been predominantly of a theoretical nature (e.g.…”
