The policy briefing provides a data-rich overview over the budgets planned for public services in the UK and their connection to the future development of inflation. It highlights the fact that inflation might lead to "invisible" cuts to public sector budgets.

Comment from our editors:

The report addresses an interesting issue, namely the effects of inflation on public sector budgets, which stands in interesting contrast to arguments which see the public sector as profiteers from inflation, e.g. those focusing on the effects of inflation on the tax revenue or the depreciation of public sector debt.

This article applies insights from behavioral economics to consider how the general public may make decisions around whether or not to receive a future COVID-19 vaccine in a context of frequent side effects and preexisting mistrust. Three common cognitive biases shown to influence human decision-making under a behavioral economics framework are considered confirmation bias, negativity bias, and optimism bias. 2021 Level: mittel A behavioral economics perspective on the COVID-19 vaccine amid public mistrust.

La question de l'équation entre les impératifs économiques de court terme (croissance, emploi) et les exigences planétaires de long terme (l'avenir de notre monde) semble toujours irrésolue. 2018 Level: leicht Economie/écologie : l'impossible conjugaison? Gaël Giraud France Culture The current Great Recession, the worst crisis that capitalism has faced since the Great Depression, has failed, at least so far, to generate a change in the teaching and practice of Macroeconomics. This seems bizarre as if nothing has happened and the economists are just going about doing business as usual. In light of this, the current paper attempts to address how Macroeconomics ought to be taught to students at the advanced intermediate level, which gives them an overall perspective on the subject.
