  • Harry Clarke on why pot should stay illegal.
  • Alex Tabarrok on the stupidity of American legislators giving medals, but not money, for organ donors.
  • Joshua Gans on the economics of music downloading.
  • Greg Mankiw on the Illinois legislators who don’t understand tax incidence.
  • Stephen Dubner on a Welsh randomised trial of a parenting program. Hey, Australian policymakers, WHY DON’T YOU STOP PARROTING OVERSEAS STUDIES OF EARLY INTERVENTION AND TRY ONE HERE?

    Reasonable theory, but ‘most of the money’? The LSAC will cost $20.2 million over 9 years. That’s about the cheapest government program I’ve ever heard of. If they were interested in the topic, there’s still plenty in the early childhood kitty.

    Andrew, I thought that readers might be interested in a CSIRO Senior Economist job in Canberra, in the Land and Water Division:

    The job looks very interesting and the pay is pretty nice ($99k – $149k p/a) too!
