  • “Ain’t that a shame”: Moral costs and fiscal crimes

    Open AccessLory Barile, John Cullis et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2025

    Levitt and List’s (2007) utility function relating to decisions with a moral dimension is adapted to offer insight into the moral costs associated with tax evasion and benefit fraud. Three questions are empirically explored: Are tax evasion and benefit fraud moral equivalents? Does an individual’s ‘moral hinterland’ associate with their intentions to commit fiscal crimes? What is the role of moral cues in informing public policy to reduce fiscal …

  • Are government expenditures more cyclical the more they finance the provision of public goods

    Open AccessAndrew Abbott, Philip JonesARTICLEKyklos2024

    The “publicness” of services provided by governments can be gauged with reference to the extent to which services are “non‐rival in consumption.” Services that are more “rival in consumption” (e.g., education and medical care) are more likely to be “parceled out” between citizens. With greater personal experience, voters are more likely to be aware of private‐good benefits and therefore are far more likely to perceive these services as part of a …

  • Aboriginal Interactions with the Overland Telegraph Line, 1870–1880

    Open AccessPhilip JonesARTICLEJournal of Telecommunications and…2023

    Aboriginal interactions with the Overland Telegraph Line, along its 3000 kilometres, were never uniform. The Line passed through at least twenty Aboriginal territories; when construction commenced, fewer than half of those groups had met Europeans. Aboriginal people in the northern and southern sections had experienced some contact, while only Stuart and his small band had passed through the central section. Archival records concerning the Line’s…

  • Farmers’ attitudes towards, and intentions to adopt, agroforestry on farms in lowland South-East and East England

    Open AccessMichelle Felton, Philip Jones et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2023Cited by: 2References: 47

    Agroforestry (AF) is a land use that incorporates growing trees into agricultural crops and/or livestock production on the same piece of land. Due to tree cover and growth, AF has the potential to generate additional products, enhance biogenic carbon capture and storage, reduce soil erosion and surface water run-off and improve soil structure and fertility. These effects are likely to improve farmers’ financial return with minimal land loss to ag…

  • Where Landedness Ends: Gender, Power and Belonging in the Watery Poetry of Wendy Mulford, Frances Presley and Carol Watts

    Philip JonesARTICLEGreen Letters2022

    This article will establish how Wendy Mulford’s The East Anglia Sequence, Frances Presley’s Somerset Letters and Carol Watts’s Wrack explore the radical potential of reimagining female presence in terms of watery embodiment. Alongside attending to how identification with what Mulford calls the ‘sister sea’ allows these poets to work back against land-based experiences of economic, legal and political expropriation, this article will also explore …

  • Trust and risk pitfalls in medical education: A qualitative study of clinical teachers

    Arvin Damodaran, Philip Jones et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2021

    PURPOSE: Learning opportunities in teaching hospitals are gated by clinical teachers. One way to unpack their decision-making is to employ a 'trust and risk' model. This study aimed to uncover clinical teachers' experience of trust, risk and vulnerability as they participate in medical education. METHODS: Hospital-based clinical teachers were interviewed about trust, risk and vulnerability in medical education. Data analysis was undertaken using …

  • The cyclicality of government foreign-aid expenditure: Voter awareness in “good” times and in “bad”

    Open AccessAndrew Abbott, Philip Jones et al.ARTICLEPublic Choice2021Cited by: 3References: 46

    While it has been argued that the cyclicality of government spending likely depends on the intensities of political pressure to increase expenditure, in economic upturns and downturns, it is important to explore the determinants of changes in the strengths of those pressures. This paper is the first (to our knowledge) to focus on the relevance of systematic changes in voter awareness of government spending. Predictions of the impact of changes in…

  • German Ethnography in Australia

    Philip JonesARTICLECanberra Anthropology2018

    The contribution of German ethnography to Australian anthropological scholarship on Aboriginal societies and cultures has been limited, primarily because few people working in the field read German. But it has also been neglected because its humanistic concerns with language, religion and mythology contrasted with the mainstream British social anthropological tradition that prevailed in Australia until the late 1960s. The advent of native title c…

  • Designing an Institutional Network for Improving Farm Animal Welfare in the EU

    Open AccessPhilip Jones, Philip J Jones et al.ARTICLEJCMS Journal of Common Market…2017Cited by: 2References: 12

    Improvements in the welfare of farmed animals in the EU have been achieved by legislation, increased welfare capacity in the food chain, greater public awareness, welfare measurement tools and dissemination of best practice. However, pressure for improvement grows. The EC recognizes that delivering improved welfare would best be achieved by increasing welfare capacity, including establishing a Network of Welfare Reference Centres to provide suppo…

  • The Objective Borderline Method: A probabilistic method for standard setting

    Boaz Shulruf, Phillippa Poole et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…2015

    A new probability-based standard setting technique, the Objective Borderline Method (OBM), was introduced recently. This was based on a mathematical model of how test scores relate to student ability. The present study refined the model and tested it using 2500 simulated data-sets. The OBM was feasible to use. On average, the OBM performed well with specificity .88, sensitivity .51, false positive rate 3.4% and false negative rate 26%. These indi…

  • Fiscal Illusion and Cyclical Government Expenditure: State Government Expenditure in the United States

    Open AccessAndrew Abbott, Philip JonesARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…2015Cited by: 2References: 4

    A well‐established literature argues that fiscal illusion increases the level of government expenditure. This article focuses on the proposition that fiscal illusion also influences the cyclicality of government expenditure. Predictions are formed with reference to government reliance on high income elasticities of indirect tax revenues and on intergovernmental transfers. Predictions are tested with reference to the expenditures of 36 states in t…

  • The Theatre of Contact

    Philip JonesCHAPTERExpedition into Empire2014

    This chapter discusses that mutual incomprehension and suspicion did not necessarily underpin initial engagements between Australian exploring expeditions and Aboriginal people. Challenging the recent proposition that these engagements are all but indistinguishable from encounters with pastoralists, prospectors, and other agents of settler colonialism. Attack Creek, near Tennant Creek, had been the scene of the affray that terminated Stuart's fou…

  • How Much Do Voters Know? An Analysis of Motivation and Political Awareness

    Open AccessPhilip Jones, Peter DawsonARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…2008Cited by: 3References: 8

    Downs argued that instrumental individuals have no incentive to incur costs to turn out to vote. High turnout rates are explained in terms of intrinsic value derived from action. But if it is important to individuals that they participate, surely it matters how they participate? This paper tests the proposition that voters acquire more political information than those who abstain because they believe they have a duty to participate in collective …
