When economists say that policy A is more efficient than policy B, they mean policy A is better than policy B.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Rationale: To say that policy A is more efficient than policy B is only to say that, at least in principle, it is possible to make everyone better off (or at least as well off) under policy A than policy B. This is not the same as making a normative judgment about which policy is better.
