Questions related to Public Policy Analysis
In your opinion, how should a realistically pro-social, pro-family and pro-development socio-economic policy be conducted, i.e. that it is a realistically pro-social, pro-family and pro-development socio-economic policy and not a populist pseudo-economic policy, designed and constructed in such a way that it mainly helps to win successive parliamentary elections for the political party that introduced and implements this policy?
In the country where I operate in terms of socio-economic policy, the PIS government in 2016 introduced the Family 500 Plus programme, i.e. a social programme of financial support for raising children provided to parents or other legal guardians of the children being raised. Similar social programmes of financial support for the upbringing of children operate in highly developed countries in Europe. Thanks to the election promises, which also included the announcement of the introduction of this programme, the PIS party won the parliamentary elections in 2015 and then later also the next parliamentary elections in 2019. I researched this issue at the time and in the articles published at the time I pointed out the key issues that should be taken into account by the government in the introduction of this Family 500 Plus programme so that it is a key element of a real pro-social, pro-family and pro-development social and economic policy and not a populist pseudo-economic policy, including that the key strategic objectives should be achieved. Well, the key strategic objective of the introduction of this programme of social financial support for families bringing up children was to reduce the scale and slow down the progressive change in the demographic structure of society consisting in the successive and exceptionally rapid ageing of the population since the beginning of the 21st century. The effect of this programme was to be a significant increase in the fertility rate.
Unfortunately, this strategic goal has not been realised. In 2021-2022, the birth rate in Poland was the lowest since the end of the mid-20th century. Unfortunately, the Family 500 Plus programme was not implemented reliably, the government did not take into account the results of research conducted by independent economists in designing this programme and in its implementation. What I wrote about several years ago in the aforementioned articles was ignored. Unfortunately, instead of improving this programme, correcting the mistakes made, in May 2023, the government announced the continuation of this programme in the following years without any amendments, but with an increase in the amount paid per child per month from the existing and functioning for 7 years of the same amount of PLN 500 to PLN 800 from January 2024. On the other hand, the next parliamentary elections are to be held in October 2023, which the ruling PIS party is also planning to join. Therefore, in the opinion of citizens, it is obvious that this Family 500 Plus programme has become a programme of mainly populist pseudo-economic policy.
In view of the above, I would like to address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How, in your opinion, should a realistically pro-social, pro-family and pro-development socio-economic policy be conducted, i.e. that it is a realistically pro-social, pro-family and pro-development socio-economic policy and not a populist pseudo-economic policy, designed and constructed in such a way that it mainly helps to win successive parliamentary elections for the political party that introduced and implements this policy?
How should a real pro-social, pro-family and pro-development socio-economic policy be conducted?

The aim is to establish the relationships between DSS and the decision process, especially related to public policy analysis.
In the situation whereby formulated policy is implemented without general acceptability by the citizens, what will be the outcome of such policy?
Ongoing peer reviewed scientific research at the US state and federal levels has shown that US tobacco policy has never been punctuated as has been claimed in public policy-oriented punctuated equilibrium theory. Falsifiability is a key feature of scientific research including the testing of scientific current theories. When a current scientific theory is found to be false in whole or part, the proper protocol is to update the scientific theory or even replace it with a new scientific theory (subject to scientific testing). Has this happened in the case of punctuated equilibrium theory related to tobacco policy research and why or why not?
Is it possible to use the Synthetic Control Method in the firm-level study?
Currently, I am trying to measure the impact of environmental regulation (state-level emission trading scheme) on a firm's green innovation. I have used DID and PSM-DID but want to use SCM with firm-level data, is it applicable? I found most of the paper used state-level data. Expecting your kind opinion in this regard.
I am just starting to look into what semiotics means to policy studies including electronic/digital government, in terms of its policy, plans, and performance. But the semiotic world is so vast, I need a good advice to enjoy such "brave new world" for me. Please get me informed of any semiotic approach to measuring electronic (digital or any adjective) government (policy or program) performance. Thanks in advance. Younghoon
Just getting a gauge from various sides of the community regarding which statistical analysis method is underrated.

In highly developed countries and economically fast developing countries there are analogous processes of changes in the demographic structure of society consisting in the aging of the population and the accompanying process of depopulation of cities, agglomeration, decreasing number of births, decreasing fertility rate in families. These processes, which are unfavorable for the economic development of the country, usually have at least several causes.
Extending the average life expectancy of citizens results from improved living standards, increased income and related improvements in quality of life, improvement of nutrition and improvement in the health care services sector. In addition, some of the lowly, educated people go to look for more interesting jobs and higher salaries by hiring in other countries. In a situation where young people paying off housing loans, are also burdened with various taxes, they are forced to work, to professional activity all adult members of the family of working age.
As a result, the pressure, the need to have more than 1 or 2 children are decreasing, and then the fertility decreases, which contributes to the decline in the number of citizens in the long term. In order to counteract this disadvantage for the national economy, this country should develop social policy to support young people, including subsidizing the purchase or rental of housing, establishing guaranteed income related to raising children, developing programs supporting the nursery, pre-school and education, pediatric health care system, etc.
Examples of such programs of active socio-economic policy are: Family 500 Plus Program and Flat Plus Program (Mieszkanie Plus Program). Because these programs have been developed only for 3 years, so you can not objectively assert how they affect the demographic structure of society, or motivate you to make decisions about having a larger number of children. In order to be able to answer this type of questions objectively, ie with regard to relevant scientific data, these Programs should be conducted with a minimum of 2-3 subsequent generations of citizens.
On the other hand, there has already been a noticeable increase in consumption for various types of goods purchased by citizens, which has a pro-development effect on the economy as it increases the level of economic growth. It may be one of the key elements of the socio-economic policy of anti-crisis, countercyclical importance, ie increasing the resilience of the domestic economy to global economic crises and the slowdown in global economy growth, e.g. the currently observed slowdown in global economy caused by the so-called war wars and other restrictions on the development of international trade.
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:
How can changes in the demographic structure of society affect the economic development of the country?

Problem description:
In socio technical systems an idea of technological initiative can emerge and different groups can be organizing around it. Each groups little by litle are organizing sponaneously based on common interest, shared values including ethics, around of an idea of progress and potential benefits that sometimes is vague.
Sometimes those groups start to interact each other and at certain point of development a macro context start to be needed in order to reach the necessities of the society.
Lately despite of the potential social benefits of the new technological initiative, the political body do not create the institutional conditions for the development of a new regulation and public policy (this is what I call the macrosystem). So the socio-technological initiative do not thrive.
Some of the hypothesis about why this issue is happening are:
1) Politicians do not take care or interest of the posibilities of the new technology and initiative.
2) Politicians sees the new technology as a loss of self power threat.
3) Politicians want to take control of the different technical groups resources and assets but not the values and real purpose, because they want to have more power for themselves.
4)...
In consecuence the work done by different technical groups will never be enough organized and coordinated as well as is required by a common purpose that reach societal necesities.
What I want to do is describe the problem in terms of the interaction of technological working groups (the system) and the political and policy level (the macrosystem)
Do yo know if there are a systemic theoretical framework that can help me to analyse and describe this problem and dynamic?
In my opinion, the improvement of pro-development instruments of socio-economic policy is particularly important in a situation of a downturn in the economy.
Currently, this issue is particularly important in connection with the forecasted decline in the rate of economic growth in 2019.
In the context of the above issues, the following question is valid:
What pro-development instruments of socio-economic policy carried out according to the concept of Keynesian economics are currently the most effective in the area of economic growth as measured by, for example, the Gross Domestic Product index?

In 2020, there was an economic crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns imposed on various service industries. In order to mitigate the negative, recessionary effects of the pandemic, the so-called economic programs were used. Anti-crisis shields consisting in the applied large-scale public financial aid to commercial business entities. The issue of activating entrepreneurship as an important element of the anti-crisis socio-economic policy applied during the economic crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic in 2020 was described in my article published at the end of December 2021.

What interventionist, pro-development instruments should be applied within the socio-economic policy of the state in order to improve the economic and financial standing of households?
Please reply
What instruments of state intervention are applied in your country as part of a pro-development, anti-crisis, counter-cyclical, Keynesian socio-economic policy and pro-social housing policy?
In some developing countries, pro-development, anti-crisis, countercyclical, Keynesian socio-economic policies and pro-social housing policies are currently underway, which are a significant determinant of high economic growth and provide citizens with material and economic well-being. In individual countries, analogical instruments of state intervention are usually used as part of pro-development, anti-crisis, counter-cyclical, Keynesian socio-economic policy and pro-social housing policy.
The applied state intervention instruments also contribute to the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship, reduction of unemployment, investment growth, income and consumption. In individual countries, analogical instruments of state intervention are usually used, including selected instruments of fiscal, budgetary and monetary policy, however, in a different structure of the use of individual instruments and a different share of their financing from the public finances of the state.
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
What instruments of state intervention are applied in your country as part of a pro-development, anti-crisis, counter-cyclical, Keynesian socio-economic policy and pro-social housing policy?

International Financial flows are the major instruments to bridge the gap between revenue and expenditure. Since the LDCs have lower capacity for capital mobilization, the Foreign Aid and foreign public investment are the some of the major sources of financing the development projects. But the questions arises, how much are they effective for domestic resources mobilization and their contribution in the economic development of particular country?

Do you think that the Family 500 Plus and Mieszkanie Plus programs as key social and host policy programs significantly increase the country's GDP?
Do you think that these programs are mainly social or investment in the context of long-term, prospective socio-economic policy?
Will these programs, after their many years of application, contribute to a significant increase in fertility and thus slow down the unfavorable economically progressive change in the demographic structure of society identified as aging (and thus reduce the risk of a strong deficit in the finances of the participatory pension system serviced in the future by Social Security?)?
How many years in the future do you think these programs should still be run under an active socio-economic policy so that you can fully objectively diagnose their real effectiveness in terms of slowing down, stopping the aging process and assessing the scale of investment functions of these programs in macroeconomic terms?
Do you conduct scientific research in this field? If so, I invite you to cooperation.

Post-Keynesian economics is the basis of the current anti-cyclical, anti-crisis, pro-development socio-economic policies. I described these issues in my publications below.
In the context of the slowdown in global economic growth forecasted in 2019, the following key question appears:
What kind of instruments of interventionist, Keynesian, anti-crisis, pro-development socio-economic policy should be used in the period of slowdown in the country's economic growth?
More and more macroeconomic analyzes indicate that in 2019 a slowdown in economic growth will appear in many countries. In order to limit the scale of the decline in growth or absolute economic decline, the governments of individual countries try to activate economic processes and consumption using various instruments of socio-economic policy.
In my opinion, the improvement of pro-development instruments of socio-economic policy is particularly important in a situation of a downturn in the economy.
Currently, this issue is particularly important in connection with the forecasted decline in the rate of economic growth in 2019.
In my opinion, post-Keynesianism has been used in practice many times in countries when leaving deep economic crises. Until now, post-Keynesianism has been used to a large extent in many countries to restore the entire national financial systems and, indirectly, entire economies and to save the selected major manufacturing enterprises and financial institutions from the bankruptcy of the global financial crisis in autumn 2008.
The economy was restored to balance at the expense of increasing budget deficits in national public finances. New formulas of post-keyism were applied under state intervention. Paradoxically, the potential consequences of the potential deepening of the global financial and economic crisis in the event that this state intervention is not applied are unknown.
Probably the crisis would be much deeper, more socially costly and would last much longer. this type of assumption determines that post-Keynesian instruments of state intervention are used almost without restrictions, ie according to the proverb: "the end justifies the means". In this assumption, theoretical foundations become a secondary element, added according to anti-crisis, anti-cyclical interventionist, and active economic policy. I conducted research and wrote scientific publications on this topic.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In connection with the above, I am asking you:
- What anti-crisis instruments of Keynesian state intervention in the framework of an active socio-economic policy are applied in your country in order to limit the scale of the forecasted slowdown in economic growth in 2019?
- What kind of instruments of interventionist, Keynesian, anti-crisis, pro-development socio-economic policy should be used in the period of slowdown in the country's economic growth?
- Does government co-financed by the state budget, national housing development programs as part of housing policy, be an important element of anti-crisis, pro-development socio-economic policy as an effective instrument for reviving economic processes and improving the economic slowdown in the global economy?
- Do you know examples of countries where in recent years new concepts of pro-development, anti-crisis, Keynesian socio-economic policy have been implemented and developed, used to improve the country's economic growth, which have been developed and described in scientific publications in recent years?
- What kind of instruments of socio-economic policy have been applied with the positive effects of a significant improvement of the country's economic growth?
- What new concept of pro-development, anti-crisis, Keynesian socio-economic policy has been implemented and why?
- What positive effects on the functioning of the economy have been achieved by using a specific concept of socio-economic policy?
- Is the importance of improving the pro-development and anti-crisis concept, Keynesian socio-economic policy growing due to the predicted decline in the economic growth rate of the global economy in 2019?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
Is the Keynesian and Post-Keynesian economics the basis of the current anti-crisis national socio-economic policies?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion

Can value judgments in normative economics generate abuses of unreliable use of economic knowledge for the purposes of designing socio-economic policies?
In my opinion, economics is a neutral science in terms of valuation. In my opinion, it is not only neutral in terms of valuing the processes of host reality described by economic concepts, but should be neutral. One of the areas of economics in which value judgments are allowed is normative economics referring to the assessment of economic processes that will occur in the future or which are planned for implementation in the future. In this respect, economics is a tool for debates, discussions, brainstorming at the academic level but also in the pre-election debates in the world of politics. However, often the economics used for the needs of politicians, in the field of electoral programs, social and economic policy projects are created abuses. Often in such political applications of economic knowledge selectively selectively some theories, concepts from the history of economic thought, selected economic laws, specific dependencies, etc. which perfectly serve to explain the legitimacy of the application of a specific socio-economic policy, but usually do not include the holistically described economic reality, they do not represent all economic knowledge comprehensively.

how to calculate tax rate for overall economy if the tax rates for different heads are not available ?? i have found 2 measures in literarures (1) tax revenue to gdp ratio as avarage tax rate (see Taner Turan et al. 2014, Jayawickrama and Abeysinghe 2013) (2) Empirical works of Rudi Kurniawan (2011), Mesut KARAKAS (2014) etc estimated overall tax rate as central govt tax revenue divided by GDP. Which tax rate is representative one for whole economy? And Why ?? What is the logic to said it as tax rate in Public finance ??
I have gone through some literature that focuses more on privatization failure and failure to privatize but I haven’t found much literature/case studies where privatization process went well (relatively smoothly, without substantive failure and/or reversal) and, privatization goals and objectives are accomplished. I am also curious to know if there are any specific criteria to evaluate privatization success or failure.

I am currently doing research to analyze environmental challenges and opportunities regarding participatory governance in small-scale democracies. Success stories are usually found in larger states. Does anyone have any case studies or articles on citizen participation in SIDS maybe?
In my book, titled: "Public Participation as a Tool for Integrating Local Knowledge into Spatial Planning" (Springer, 2017), I claimed that alongside goals - such as encouragement of democratic jurisdictional governance, enhancement of trust among participants and facilitators, strengthening civil society and social justice - the initial practical goals of public participation are the exposure of residents' local knowledge (e.g., spatial perspectives, perceptions, needs, reservations, opinions and desires) and the incorporation of that knowledge into the planning and decision making processes. In my book I indicated that the later practical goals fit together with and constitutes a key condition for the achievement of the former inventory of goals. What do you think ?
How might knowledge sharing—across and within international organizations, governments, government agencies, the private sector, civil society organizations, and other development practitioners—be advanced to create synergies toward the Sustainable Development Goals?

I want to compare what they should do (according to the legal and normative framework) vs what they actually do.
In my book "Public Participation as a Tool for Integration Local Knowledge into Spatial Planning" (Springer, 2017) I claim that Local Knowledge in urban and regional planning refers to the knowledge of people who could be affected by plans, and that it is "a large, complex epistemological system related to a broad conceptual scope that includes perceptions, desires, grievances, opinions, ideas, beliefs, thoughts, speculations, preferences, common sense, feelings and sensations; it also addresses needs, cultural codes, spatial conducts, social relations, societal norms, and everyday life scenarios and practices, all of which are rooted in the locals' everyday reality".

I am now working on my paper aiming to identify the way many development donors (e.g. DFID, USAID, etc.) utilise the gender mainstreaming (and/or green agenda) to generate their power and control over international organisations and local NGOs as aid recipients.

I initially interpret that they become a particular type of subject that donors would like to see and would like to engage in their relationship.
However, I am not sure if I could apply Foucault's 'Governmentality' and his 'Technologies of Power' to this work. If not, Is there any theories from any particular theorists suitable for this? Please give me some advice. Thank you very much!

Local governance and citizens participation.
There is a new trend in local governance in Nigeria. State governments are recently creating local council development areas (LCDAs), with Lagos setting the pace in 2003. Though, initially contentious but has come to stay, after a court ruling by the Supreme court in favour of Lagos state. Judgement declared the LCDAs inchoate, until the consequent listing in the constitution by the national assembly.
This is 14 years after and yet no consequent listing by the national assembly. But the LCDAs are been run smoothly in Lagos state, with other state copying their model.
So how then do this LCDAs differ from LGAs.
Dear all, I am wondering why design strategies in citizen culture generate changes in social behavior? And my closest reference is Antanas Mockus (Mayor of Bogotá of the 90's) with his policy on respect for norms, laws, and culture. There may be other approaches than policies.

Could this be construed as author bias as there appears to be an agenda to prove poor communication rather than from a neutral view point.
Japan has, from 2008 developed a tax system whereby citizens can designate that part of their tax burden be paid as tax transfer revenue to a specified prefecture or municipality or, within that location, to a specific policy area. I am wondering if Japan is unique in this or if other countries have any provision in their tax system that allows payers to designate the recipient of their tax revenue? I am less interested in discussions of developmental and welfare states than I am in considerations of 'shared citizenship through tax payment' versus a 'designation system,' whereby citizens can prioritise places and policies. For more background, please see my Working Paper titled: Japan's Furusato Nozei Tax System; please also comment on the paper.
