Successfully completed the 10 week certificate course on Public Policy Analysis by The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The program covered the entire Policy cycle framework starting from agenda setting, research design, data analysis, stakeholder engagement critical thinking to impact evaluation. The case studies presented and the written assignments were very intriguing. In the present age of digital transformation and beyond, with most nations trying to position themselves as the 'technology leader', significant learning is required to understand and analyse behavioural economics. As a matter of fact, when we continuously evolve ourselves out of prejudices on socio-political issues, we are debating on AI bias as well. This period of technology transition in everyone's life demands informed adaptation.  

【Exploration of the Impact Mechanism of Government Credibility Based on Variable Screening Method】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/gAXBJimJ (Authored by Jiajun Wu, et al., from Central University of Finance and Economics, China.) #Government_credibility, a hot topic in academic research, is an important asset in contemporary national governance, an important criterion for evaluating government legitimacy, and a key factor in measuring the effectiveness of government governance. This paper focuses on #variable_selection_models in the field of #social_statistics to the issue of government credibility, and uses seven different variable selection methods in regression analysis and machine learning (including four regression based methods and three random forest based methods) to conduct a comparative study on the empirical problem of government credibility, in order to achieve the best variable selection effect.

What do (micro)economists do while constructing models? Are unrealistic assumptions and untestable implications always problematic? At the Academy of Unknowingness website, my recent essay on limits of knowledge in microeconomics is now available to read (in a fantastic company, by the way!). I argue that even if data required for a model's falsification/verification might never be collected, microeconomic theories can still set the limits of (conditionally) necessary or contradictory scenarios. In this way, although they cannot provide us with a secure knowledge of "how things really are", they still restrict the possibilities of what could be. https://lnkd.in/d-u2UgWX

https://lnkd.in/g_k99285 Marketing professors explore how to fix the world's problems. A little different than https://lnkd.in/g2z3BQqF but appears to be trying to solve some of the same problems. The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society by Joseph E. Stiglitz does a great job of explaining how we got here and where we are. He also puts forward some solutions to address externalities. https://amzn.to/3xQzGSB #ESG #economics #corpgov

We can't know everything, and even what we do know is shaped by our education, knowledge and training.  Despite our efforts to act rationally, the bounds of what we know inevitably constrain our decisions. During our upcoming workshop on May 23rd (details in the comments), our speaker, Peter Knight, professor of American Studies at the University of Manchester will help us reflect on the ways in which we look to understand and mitigate #risk, and to take advantage of opportunities, prioritising longer term goals. Peter is an expert on cultural approaches to economics and finance, and conspiracy theories in American history. He is the author and editor of a dozen books, including the prize-winning Reading the Market: Genres of Financial Capitalism in Gilded Age America (2016). He is currently directing several large team research projects on conspiracy theories in the age of the internet. When asked why we should want to learn more about this topic, Peter said: ' Conspiracy theories used to be harmless fun, but now misinformation and disinformation threaten to undermine trust in impartial media, objective science and even democracy itself. But why, if most of the theories make little sense, do so many people believe in them?' #behaviouraleconomics #decisionmaking #emotionaleconomics #imaginedfutures #techfutures #managementconsulting
