在您的任务中,您将应用两位经济思想家的概念框架来探讨今天在澳大利亚的下列问题之一(在您论文的前三分之一部分),然后构建并阐明一个经济论据,以支持一次政府政策干预来解决该问题(在您论文的最后三分之二部分)。你可以选择争辩说,澳大利亚政府应该采取以下每一期所列的一项政策干预措施,或者你选择的另一项政策干预措施。
In your assignment, you will apply the conceptual frame of TWO economic thinkers to explore ONE of the following issues in Australia today (in the first one-third of your paper), and then build and articulate an economic argument to support ONE government policy intervention to address that issue (in the final two-thirds of your paper). You may choose to argue that the Australian government should adopt one of the policy interventions listed under each issue below, or another policy intervention of your choosing.
1.工资低/停滞不前和/或工作不安全。为解决这一问题,一些建议的政策干预措施包括提高最低工资,重新制定酒店和零售业工人的惩罚率,增加对培训项目的投资,增加Newstart津贴,增加保护主义贸易政策,并为所有澳大利亚人引入“自由红利”。
2.气候变化。为解决这一问题,一些建议采取的政策干预措施包括:征收碳税、征收拥堵税、增加对清洁能源或适应性技术(如抗旱作物)研发的补贴、增加对学术界和清洁能源行业之间联系的补贴,补贴消费者对清洁能源技术的投资(如屋顶太阳能电池板),并引入工业排放总量管制和交易制度。
3. 肥胖。为解决这一问题,一些建议的政策干预措施包括:对含糖饮料征税,对体重指数(BMI)高的人征税,在学校和工作场所补贴健康计划,引入更严格的食品标签要求,并促使消费者做出更健康的选择(例如,禁止学校的自动售货机)。
4. 低创新和/或增长缓慢。一些建议的解决这一问题的政策干预措施包括放松或收紧澳大利亚的知识产权法,增加对投资于从事创新研发的公司的人的税收减免,增加对学术界和高增长行业之间联系的补贴,减少保护主义政策。
ECON 1401 代写:低创新,气候变化与肥胖政策干预措施
1. Low/stagnating wages and/or insecure work. Some suggested policy interventions for addressing this issue include increasing the minimum wage, re- instituting penalty rates for hospitality and retail workers, increasing investment in training programs, increasing the NewStart allowance, increasing protectionist trade policies, and introducing a “freedom dividend” for all Australians.
2. Climate change. Some suggested policy interventions for addressing this issue include introducing a carbon tax, introducing a congestion tax, increasing subsidies for research and development into clean energy or adaptive technology (e.g., drought-resistant crops), increasing subsidies for links between academia and clean energy industries, subsidizing consumers’ investments in clean energy technology (e.g., roof-top solar panels), and introducing a cap-and-trade system for industrial emissions.
3. Obesity. Some suggested policy interventions for addressing this issue include introducing a tax on sugary beverages, introducing a tax on people with high body mass indices (BMIs), subsidizing wellness programs at schools and workplaces, introducing more stringent food-labelling requirements, and nudging consumers to make healthier choices (e.g., banning vending machines from schools).
4. Low innovation and/or slow growth. Some suggested policy interventions for addressing this issue include loosening or tightening Australia’s intellectual property laws, increasing tax breaks for people who invest in companies pursuing innovative research and development, increasing subsidies for links between academia and high-growth industries, and reducing protectionist policies.
