Promising results of Ebola vaccine in non-human studies don't mean that it's effective for humans http://t.co/FBvZh5tqfy … #techpolw8

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

Emergencies (e.g. the Ebola outbreak) require exceptional policies. Rigidly conforming to standard protocol wastes precious time. #techpolw8

Danger of having internal risk managers: they become deal makers, not deal questioners #techpolw7 https://t.co/a39ChwBJOE

@yihuiphua Unpopular policies that are 'necessary evils' still need to be put in place despite dissatisfaction among some people. #techpolw7

@Siyi_Hu 5 areas: envir damage, climate change, hostile neighbours, friendly trade partners & society's response to problems #techpolw7

Is secular stagnation absent in US & UK? Considering the current economic states of US& UK, I doubt so. http://t.co/BVpcltvTsQ #techpolw6

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

Identifying causes of secular stagnation & implementing policies that address the roots of the problem are important. #techpolw6

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

Secular stagnation in developed countries can be due to aging population, rising income inequality etc. #techpolw6 http://t.co/CrCxDV6PYs

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

The huge social & economic inequality between various regions, countries or even within a country clearly needs to be addressed. #techpolw5

The conditions on which developed countries are willing to aid developing countries can influence how quickly MDG will be reached.#techpolw5

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

Many systemic problems (e.g. extreme poverty) cannot be solved unless corruption is reduced and/or political reforms take place. #techpolw5

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

Social mobility and education are important issues that need attention in many developing countries.http://t.co/hNxf7oOyJp #techpolw5

@xin_ada Nice!

Suitability of evidence-based policy making depends on geo-political, social & economic context of the country in question. #techpolw4

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

Considering the high cost of evidence-based policy making, this model is most probably restricted to developed countries. #techpolw4

Legal systems have to keep up with the pace of rapidly evolving technology and innovations so as to remain relevant. #techpolw3

@TechPolicyMPhil Regulation may be possible to a limited extent. Firms may attempt to find loopholes in regulations. #techpolw3

[Chen Yangmasha @chenyangmasha]

@TechPolicyMPhil Indeed, it's hard to imagine how one can live without the Internet nowadays, especially in developed countries. #techpolw3
