@themetresgained Get well soon

The NDIS has been a major focus of reform, with recent changes aimed at tightening eligibility and slowing cost growth. In this week’s plus61 @SPelinAkyol and Adit Maitra argue that the long-run cost of the scheme will depend equally on the underlying market design that governs how supports are delivered.

In the latest edition of the @E61Institute newsletter, Adit Maitra and I explain why weak market discipline in the NDIS may matter more for long-run cost sustainability than eligibility reform alone👇

Nice to see "A Structural Model of Mortgage Offset Accounts in the Australian Housing Market" out in Economic Record!

In the paper, I think* I'm the first to document some basic, but intuitive, facts about offset account use.

(*correct me if I'm wrong!)

It's critical that we understand how people are using their allocated NDIS budgets so that the NDIS can deliver on its promise of choice and control. 1/7

This terribly misguided paper is making the rounds.

This thread is to make it common knowledge what is wrong with it.

The basic thing: all modern economic theory allows for a gap between individual maximization and efficiency, whatever you mean exactly by each of these.

I hope this is my final word on the matter. It’s been exhausting. But I walk away knowing I stood up for myself and my principles.

I trust CIS will move forward as a more respectful, collegiate workplace.

#NewPost New research by Peter Varela, Robert Breunig and Matthew Smith shows the intergenerational contract has lost its balance. This has serious implications for the future of Australia. https://t.co/soTEqTeNQe

Demographic changes – an ageing population and delayed parenthood – will mean that care responsibilities increasingly overlap for women. This Women’s Health Week, Pelin Akyol and Rose Khattar call for a rethink of the sandwich generation to recognise the care needs associated with perimenopause and menopause that often place a triple care burden on women.

I see Tom Switzer’s resignation as a step forward toward @CISOZ putting this behind them.

All I ever wanted was to be able to do my job and to be compensated appropriately for my role in a collegial, productive, and safe work environment.

I struggle to listen to or watch myself back, but here's my conversation with my colleague Rob Forsyth about my experiences with liberalism as a political ideology and the tensions in a liberal approach to education policy

This is a purely associational study which nevertheless suggests that ideological capture is bad for the methodological integrity of the science of social life. @HdxAcademy @PsychRabble

I don’t know what card Tom Switzer thinks he has up his sleeve, but I’m pretty sure it’s a spade because he’s digging his grave with it.

While I haven’t been allowed to see the footage, I know what’s on it…because I was there!

1. Neoliberalism isn't real. It's a made up term that Marxists started using in the late 1990s to describe everything they didn't like.

2. Marxism is real. And it murdered over 100 million people.

@mumbletwits @themetresgained So you read both these documents and concluded they are basically the same with no value add in my report?
