Predicting Public Media Attention spam for social issues.
The issue-attention cycle, as proposed by Anthony Downs, suggests that major social issues experience predictable stages of public interest, from initial discovery to eventual decline. Using the example of food safety, particularly the Alar crisis of 1989, it’s evident that media attention fluctuates in response to perceived crises, but tends to wane once solutions are implemented or public interest shifts. While some issues, like food safety, may continually cycle through periods of heightened attention, the overall trajectory of media coverage and public concern follows a pattern outlined by Downs, influenced by factors such as the severity of the crisis, its relevance to the majority, and the intrinsic excitement of the issue.
Network structures Working differently and changing Expectation
The article discusses the emergence of network structures as a response to complex social problems, emphasizing the need for collaborative approaches to address issues like poverty and homelessness. It presents a case study of the Goodna Service Integration Project in Australia, highlighting how it exemplifies the principles of network structures. The project’s success underscores the importance of shared goals, interdependence among members, and a unique structural arrangement involving diverse stakeholders. Ultimately, it demonstrates that network structures enable more effective and holistic solutions to wicked problems by fostering trust, innovation, and systemic change.
From the bottom to the top Empowerment as social Innovation Hub.
In summary, social innovations are diverse and can be categorized into bottom-up, top-down, and hybrid approaches. Bottom-up innovations emerge from grassroots initiatives with emancipatory goals, such as social movements or local community actions. Top-down innovations, on the other hand, are initiated by public authorities or institutions to address social problems, often in response to technological or economic changes. Hybrid approaches combine elements of both bottom-up and top-down processes, with empowerment playing a central role in reconciling these perspectives. Empowerment serves as a hub for social innovation, mediating different viewpoints, supporting civil society, and avoiding paternalistic dominance. Overall, understanding the governance of social innovation requires considering the dynamics between these different forms and approaches.
We May Be seeing the Beginning of social security reform
The article discusses the pressing need for Social Security reform as the trust funds face exhaustion in the 2030s. It highlights a proposed bill, Social Security 2100, which aims to address the program’s financial challenges through measures like benefit increases, revised COLA calculations, and payroll tax adjustments. With significant support in the House, its passage seems likely, but its fate in the Senate, particularly among Republicans, remains uncertain. The bill aims to restore the program’s financial balance and ensure its sustainability over the long term.
Value Preserving Welfare Weight for Social optimization Problem.
The article proposes a method for determining welfare weights in social optimization problems, addressing the limitations of equal weights (EW) assumption. It introduces value preserving (VP) welfare weights, ensuring proportional social welfare contributions based on individual allocations. By characterizing VP weights and allocations, it shows their equivalence to Negishi weights in economies where fundamental welfare theorems hold. VP weights offer insights into optimal taxation, emphasizing market outcomes in frictionless environments and redistribution in second-best scenarios. The approach provides a flexible framework for incorporating various justice principles into policy analysis, contributing to the broader literature on optimal taxation and welfare economics.
Understanding and Tackling Societal Grand challenge through Management Research

By focusing on topics such as climate change, aging societies, and natural resources, scholars seek to contribute to meaningful solutions and promote societal resilience on a global scale.

Reverting to Informality Unregistered Property transaction and Erosion of the Titling in Peru.
The study examines the impact of eliminating a registration system, the Registro Predial Urbano (RPU), on the registration rate of property transactions in urban slums in Peru. Using a difference-in-difference approach, the authors find that the elimination of the RPU led to a significant 8.1 percentage point reduction in the probability of property transaction registration. This reduction was particularly pronounced for households in the lowest income quartile and those with a more educated head of household. Moreover, the types of transactions most affected were property divisions and early inheritances, which are critical for preserving legal ownership claims. The findings underscore the importance of designing urban titling programs with components aimed at maintaining property formalization
