Роль административных данных для проведения политики во всём мире трудно переоценить. Исследователи, получая данные по конкретному региону или сообществу, используют их, чтобы сделать жизнь конкретных людей лучше. Таким исследователем в Австралии работает Сергей Алексеев.
There is no effective policy tool to regulate drinking in Australia. Policymakers have to engage in politically expensive processes to regulate one product. Alcohol abuse imposes an enormous health burden on the community. The acute burden of abuse is felt mainly by the young, a disproportionate number of whom are killed through accident and misadventure. Getting alcohol policy right means getting the system of taxation right. While the complexity of the Australian system of taxation of alcohol has been criticized for decades, our new study shows that our tax system is incapable of delivering an effective policy response to the problem of alcohol use by young people.
A noticeable increase in housing prices during COVID-19 would exacerbate the equality of opportunities, yet as standard measures of mobility ignore home ownership, this exacerbation will go undetected by both researchers and the Australian government. At the same time, higher-paid workers, those who did not lose their jobs during the lockdowns, and those with access to parental financial help, will concentrate home owners in their hands with a potential to extract rent from less fortunate but no less hard-working Australians
Nightclubs are weird. Both women and men spend many hours, if not days, preparing their outlook to simply impress a bunch of strangers.
