This study proposes to compare two types of computer simulation techniques, namely tactical and strategic simulations. It explores the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and stresses the importance of the insight to be gained by combining both approaches in the evaluation of public policies. A school finance reform policy is presented as a case study. More specifically, the research evaluates the implementation of a cost-of- education index (a mechanism to adjust for disparities in educational costs among school districts in a state) in the New York State aid formula. The study investigates, using two computer simulation techniques, the impact of this policy in terms of organizing per pupil expenditures.
