At its best, economics can help policy-makers to design policies that resolve a wide range of economic and financial problems, for individuals and economies as a whole. ‘Economic behaviour and public policy’ explores some key insights and evidence from behavioural public policy, particularly microeconomic policy. Instead of examining market failures, behavioural public policy looks at behaviour change—changing the way that people make their everyday decisions and choices by nudging them towards more efficient and productive decision-making. The future for behavioural public policy is promising. Policy-makers need to look carefully at how policies based around behavioural insights can be used to complement rather than replace conventional economic policy instruments.

Heightened concerns and dialogue about access to justice have infused the law school setting in Saskatchewan and, to varying degrees, across the country. If there ever were a time to approach social justice reform differently – to upset traditional parameters around decision making and step around older hierarchies for input and design – it would be now. This article describes the Dean’s Forum on Dispute Resolution and Access to Justice (colloquially known as the Dean’s Forum) as a platform for genuine student engagement in the development of public policy in this important area. We offer our combined reflections, gathered inside our “teaching team,” about the unique pedagogical features of our experiment and its challenges. As we continue to grow with the project, we offer this Saskatchewan story as one example of institutional collaboration in a quickly evolving educational and social policy landscape.

The Mind

Amidst the growing enthusiasm for the application of behavioural insights from behavioural economics, psychology and the neurosciences in social policy, there has been a shift in emphasis from structural, through individuated and towards neuromolecular scales of explanation for social problems. This chapter explores the role of these trends in carving out new spatialities of social policy. The chapter considers the scale at which government intervention is deemed necessary, effective and efficient; and who should be responsible for health, productivity and wellbeing in liberal societies. It traces continuities between behavioural and neuroscientifically-informed public policy through analysis of international and supra-national policy documentation within societies in which neoliberalism is increasingly recognised as a source of social harm and economic instability. The chapter develops an approach to ‘critical neuro- geography’ which sheds new light on the strategic importance of scalar claims and other spatialities to forms of governance targeted at the mind, body and soul.

Penelitian ini menguji apakah ada perbedaan kepatuhan pajak antara yang mengetahui pengampunan pajak berulang serta merasakan kepastian penegakan hukum dan yang tidak. Penelitian ini menggunakan  quasi eksperimen faktorial 2 x 2 antarsubyek dengan mahasiswa akuntansi di FEB yang sedang mengambil matakuliah manajemen pajak sebagai partisipan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah terdapat pengaruh antara pengetahuan tentang pengampunan pajak berulang maupun kepastian penegakan hukum terhadap kepatuhan pajak. Hasil dari pengujian interaksi yang diperoleh adalah ketika wajib pajak tidak mengetahui adanya pengampunan pajak yang berulang dan merasakan kepastian penegakan hukum yang tinggi akan menghasilkan kepatuhan yang paling tinggi. Sebaliknya ketika wajib pajak mengetahui adanya pengampunan pajak yang berulang dan tidak merasakan kepastian penegakan hukum yang tinggi akan menghasilkan kepatuhan yang rendah.<em></em></p><p class="JurnalASSETSABSTRAK"><em>ABSTRACT</em></p><p><em>Tax amnesty has been repeadly implemented in Indonesia namely 1964,1989, 2008 and 2016.The purpose of the study is to examine is there any tax compliance differences between those who perceive recurring tax amnesty and feel legal certainty and to those who do not. This quasi experiment design was consisted of 2x2 between subject factorial design, with Bachelor’s Degree of Accountancy at FEB UKSW who took Taxation Management as participants. The result shown that there is influence between recurring tax amnesty knowledge and legal certainty in the tax compliance. The result of the interaction testing shown that when taxpayer are not aware of any recurring tax amnesty and feel the high legal certainty will result high compliance. Conversely, when taxpayers know that there is recurring tax amnesty and do not sense a high level certainty, it would result a low tax compliance.<br /></em></p>

This article presents key results from a comparative qualitative Social Policy study of nine African regional economic communities’ (RECs) regional health policies. The article asks to what extent has health been incorporated into RECs’ public policy functions and actions, and what similarities and differences are evident among the RECs. Utilising a World Health Organization (WHO) framework for conceptualising health systems, the research evidence routes the article’s arguments towards the following principal conclusions. First, the health sector is a key component of the public policy functions of most of the RECs. In these RECs, innovations in health sector organisation are notable; there is considerable regulatory, organisational, resourcing and programmatic diversity among the RECs alongside under-resourcing and fragmentation within each of them. Second, there are indications of important tangible benefits of regional cooperation and coordination in health, and growing interest by international donors in regional mechanisms through which to disburse health and -related Official Development Assistance (ODA). Third, content analysis of RECs’ regional health strategies suggests fairly minimal strategic ambitions as well as significant limitations of current approaches to advancing effective and progressive health reform. The lack of emphasis on universal health care and reliance on piecemeal donor funding are out of step with approaches and recommendations increasingly emphasising health systems development, sector-wide approaches (SWAPs) and primary health care as the bedrock of health services expansion. Overall, the health component of RECs’ development priorities is consistent with an instrumentalist social policy approach. The development of a more comprehensive sustainable world-regional health policy is unlikely to come from the African Continental Free-Trade Area, which lacks requisite social and health clauses to underpin ‘positive’ forms of regional integration.

The Brain

Once strictly the domain of medical and graduate education, neuroscience has made its way into the undergraduate curriculum with over 230 colleges and universities now offering a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience. The disciplinary focus on the brain teaches students to apply science to the understanding of human behavior, human interactions, sensation, emotions, and decision making. In this article, we encourage new and existing undergraduate neuroscience programs to envision neuroscience as a broad discipline with the potential to develop competencies suitable for a variety of careers that reach well beyond research and medicine. This article describes our philosophy and illustrates a broad-based undergraduate degree in neuroscience implemented at a major state university, Virginia Tech. We highlight the fact that the research-centered Experimental Neuroscience major is least popular of our four distinct majors, which underscores our philosophy that undergraduate neuroscience can cater to a different audience than traditionally thought.
