Big Policy Canvas Research Roadmap
[...] * Big data and data analytics solutions can be used for providing evidence for the ex ante impact assessment of policy options, by helping to predict possible outcomes of the different options
What is also interesting, is that big data can help in analysing the current situation using back-casting techniques. If the data are available, researchers can analyse the already existing previous data and figure out where a failed policy went wrong or where a successful one owes its success.

With the exponential increase in data production, data analytics need to adapt in order to become effective and efficient.

If policies could be compared, counterfactual models could do the trick. However, it's practically impossible to say that you can find systems that you expect to have the exact same behaviour when talking on political decisions.

You are practically discussing predictive simulation, right?

Probably yes!
