Youth, Social Media, and Mental Health
Social media use has become ubiquitous among young people, yet evidence on its association with mental health remains limited and mixed. In this study, we use rich longitudinal data from Australia and measure social media use based on the frequency of active posting or sharing on social networking sites. We find that heavy social media use and addiction are associated with increased psychological distress, with the association concentrated among …
Anticipatory action and pastoralism in Africa
This article synthesises the current situation vis‐à‐vis the aid modality of anticipatory action in pastoralist settings. Broadly comprising pre‐planned, pre‐financed interventions triggered by early warning systems and aimed at reducing the impacts of crises, anticipatory action has been effective at reducing the impact of shocks in multiple settings (particularly sudden‐onset shocks such as floods and cyclones). Yet, it has seemingly failed to …
Come and say G’day
The availability of big data from popular search engines in real-time enables policymakers and market participants worldwide to explore global reactions to major events. Australia consistently ranks high on visitors’ considerations and has significant investment in digital tourism campaigns, such as the multichannel Come and Say G’day campaign through digital and content marketing initiatives around the globe. This paper examines the dynamic rela…
Product of our environment? Place effects on Body Mass Index
An under-explored aspect of body weight is the role that location plays in its determination. To address this evidence gap, this study uses a dynamic event study framework to examine how weight changes for people who change their location and, by extension, how much of the overall variation in weight can be explained by place-based versus individual factors. We then undertake a decomposition analysis on movers and non-movers to evaluate the role …
Low awareness and affordability are major drivers of low consumption of animal‐source foods among children in Northern Ethiopia
Animal-source foods (ASFs), contain high amounts of essential nutrients that are readily absorbed by the body. However, children in resource-constrained settings often have limited access to these nutritious foods. This study aimed to investigate the reasons for the low consumption of ASFs among children in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. A community-based mixed-methods study was conducted, using exploratory qualitative methods supplemented by the…
Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Home Countries and Immigrants’ Well-Being
This article exploits plausibly exogenous changes in macroeconomic conditions across home countries over time and panel individual data to examine the causal impact of home countries’ macroeconomic conditions on immigrants’ well-being in Australia. We present new and robust evidence that immigrants in Australia feel happier when their home countries’ macroeconomic conditions improve, as measured by a higher gross domestic product (GDP) per capita…
Revisiting the Impact of Consumption Growth and Inequality on Poverty in Indonesia during Decentralisation
This article analyses the consumption growth elasticity and inequality elasticity of poverty in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the decentralisation period. Using provincial panel data, we show that the effectiveness of growth in alleviating poverty across provinces was greater during decentralisation—that is, between 2002 and 2010—than at any other point since 1984. The growth elasticity of poverty since 2002 is estimated to have been –2.4…
An analysis of power dynamics within innovation platforms for natural resource management
Innovation systems thinking is increasingly influencing approaches to sustainable agricultural development in developing world contexts. This represents a shift away from technology transfer towards recognition that agricultural change entails complex interactions among multiple actors and a range of technical, social and institutional factors. One option for practically applying innovation systems thinking involves the establishment of innovatio…
The Economics of Wine – Introduction
To coincide with the 150th anniversary of the famous Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855, the Centre for Policy Evaluation at the University of Nottingham sponsored a special session at the 2005 RES Annual Conference on the economics of wine. The 1855 classification was completed as part of the Paris Exhibition of the same year as a temporary means to determine which Bordeaux wines would be exhibited. The classification took hold, and is still i…
The Internationalisation of Public Welfare Policy
With increasing globalisation of knowledge, there are increased opportunities to 'learn' from the experience of policy interventions elsewhere. This paper presents evidence on the extent of international convergence in public policy, with particular focus on labour, welfare, savings and retirement policy. Questions addressed in this framework include: to what extent is policy diffusion or convergence a real and relevant phenomenon? What role have…

Oodgeroo
White people want to do something about Aborigines, but they don't know how to go about it," said Kath Walker (Oodgeroo) to reporter Jim Hall of the Sun Herald in June 1964. Hall was reporting on the phenomenal success of Kath's first book of poems, We Are Going, which had sold out two editions within a few days of reaching the bookshops. Hall described the Aboriginal author as "A poem scribbler from childhood who never took her poems seriously u…
