“…A way to conciliate a more policy-oriented account of causation in the context of the 2030 Agenda is by estimating SDG networks and then using them as inputs for an agent-based model of the policymaking process (with vertical causal mechanisms that stem from the policymaking process). Some progress has been made in this vein of research through policy priority inference [67,68]. Starting with a set of exogenous objectives, indicators' initial values, and an estimated network of structural-dependencies, the model generates endogenous policy priorities that can be used to make causal inference in a variety of topics such as policy resilience [69], ex-ante policy evaluation [70], policy coherence [71], and corruption [74].…”

“…We develop an agent-computing model along the lines of Guerrero and Castañeda (2021), Guerrero and Castañeda (2020), Castañeda et al (2018). The model consists of a political economy game where the central authority (the government) sets policy priorities in terms of resource allocations, while public servants (the agents) are in charge of implementing such policies.…”

“…In practical terms, today's Agenda addresses a more equal, just and sustainable future by introducing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals -SDGs (UN General Assembly, 2015). The 17 Goals are constructed upon 5 pillars: people, prosperity, planet, peace and justice, and partnership; and connections and spillover effects among the Goals are unavoidably present (UN General Assembly, 2020c; Griggs et al, 2017;Pradhan et al, 2017;Nerini et al, 2019;Nilsson et al, 2018;van Soest et al, 2019;Sachs et al, 2019;Guerrero & Castañeda Ramos, 2020;Requejo-Castro et al, 2020;Tremblay et al, 2020). In line with the Charter of the United Nations, the Sustainable Development Goals have no pyramidal structure and there is no Goal prioritized with respect to the others, thus advocating for equal efforts in the designing of proper policies to meet these goals (Art.…”

“…40 of the Agenda) (UN General Assembly, 2015). In fact, each Goal targets the implementation of policies, totalling 169 targets across the 17 Goals (Guerrero & Castañeda Ramos, 2020). Targets also mark the need for data and measurements of the status of countries with respect to the achievement of the Goals.…”
