Ecosystem accounting through first nations’ lenses: Integrating the Seea-EA and Indigenous knowledge systems
The UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting-Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EA) provides a framework for integrating information about the environment and the economy, organising information about ecosystems, measuring ecosystem services, and tracking change. We explore how SEEA-EA can incorporate First Nations' conceptualisation of nature and cultural connections to traditional lands. We identify multiple entry avenues, propose key principles …
The labour market matching efficiency in Australian regions
We advance the literature on estimating job matching functions in two ways. Scholars acknowledge that past matching efficiency affects current job search and posting behaviour (i.e. tightness is endogenous); however, they so far ignore that forecast (lead) matching efficiency may also affect tightness. We specify a model that accommodates lagged and lead efficiency to address both endogeneity channels. Scholars also acknowledge that matching effi…
Spatial Heterogeneity and Subjective Wellbeing: Exploring the Role of Social Capital in Metropolitan Areas Using Multilevel Modelling
The role of social capital, the social networks that influence human wellbeing has been explored by empirical research in the US and Europe, however no study so far has undertaken a systematic investigation of the impact of the various dimensions of social capital in metropolitan areas. Addressing this gap in knowledge can have practical and policy-oriented implications by contributing to more informed decision-making processes in metro areas, be…
How Selective Mobility, Social and Ecological Influence may Impact Geographic Variations in Life Satisfaction Scores: An Australian Longitudinal Study
The spatial clustering of life satisfaction scores noted in recent empirical research suggests that ‘happier’ people may live in specific neighbourhoods or regions. This prompts the questions: Do ‘happier’ people choose to move to specific places? Does living in specific places make people ‘happier’? To answer these questions, this paper explores possible occurrences of selective mobility, and social and ecological influence. Using panel data col…
Does the Climate Impact Satisfaction with Life? An Australian Spatial Study
It is now widely acknowledged that climate change will have a considerable impact on various aspects of human existence, and this includes happiness and satisfaction with life. This study adds to the existing literature on the contribution of climate to well-being by exploring the interaction of various climate variables at the national and local levels while controlling for socioeconomic factors. Using climate data covering a 20-yr period and de…
The value of informed agency for Torres Strait climate change
Flipping the researcher knowledge translation perspective on knowledge use: A scoping study
The first community of practice of Torres Strait Islander researchers in Australia was established to ensure knowledge translation efforts are effective in addressing the gap between “what is known” and “what is currently done” in policy and practice settings in the region. The scoping review involved a search of publicly accessible and relevant online databases and a rapid appraisal of systematic reviews and scoping studies of knowledge translat…
Indigenous Land and Sea Management Programs (ILSMPs) Enhance the Wellbeing of Indigenous Australians
Conservation and environmental management have been reported as offering opportunities to substantially improve the wellbeing of Indigenous people. Using the holistic wellbeing impact evaluation (W-IE) approach-well suited for use in Indigenous communities-we interviewed 190 Indigenous Australians across four communities. All communities were involved in the Indigenous land and sea management programs (ILSMPs). Our study explored the conceptualis…
The importance of social learning for non-market valuation
Neoclassical valuation methods often measure the contribution that non-market goods make to utility as income compensations. This circumvents Arrow's impossibility (AI) –a theoretical proof establishing the impossibility of social preferences – but those methods cannot be used in all settings. We build on Arrow's original proof, showing that with two additional axioms that allow for social learning, a second round of preference elicitation with a…
The Crowding Out of Complex Social Goods
Time to trade for health
There is a growing realization that present levels of healthcare provision can only be maintained with the engagement of the community in the maintenance of their own health, and that stronger communities are healthier communities. 'Time 2 Trade for health' looks at a different approach to public engagement. Time banking is a 'community currency' which uses the hour as the unit of exchange, where every single person's input is valued equally
