:Proponents of evidence-based policy (EBP) call for public policy to be informed by high-quality evidence from randomized controlled trials. This methodological preference aims to promote several epistemic values, e.g. rigour, unbiasedness, precision, and the ability to obtain causal conclusions. I argue that there is a trade-off between these epistemic values and several non-epistemic, moral and political values. This is because the evidence afforded by standard EBP methods is differentially useful for pursuing different moral and political values. I expand on how this challenges ideals of value-freedom and -neutrality in EBP, and offer suggestions for how EBP methodology might be revised.

循证政策中认知和道德价值观之间的权衡

: 循证政策 (EBP) 的支持者呼吁公共政策以来自随机对照试验的高质量证据为依据。这种方法论偏好旨在促进几种认知价值，例如严谨、公正、精确和获得因果结论的能力。我认为在这些认知价值与几种非认知、道德和政治价值之间存在权衡。这是因为标准 EBP 方法提供的证据对于追求不同的道德和政治价值观有不同的用途。我扩展了这如何挑战 EBP 中价值自由和中立的理想，并就如何修改 EBP 方法提供建议。
