Transformation of lawmaking in Uzbekistan: New Development Model - New Decisi...UNDP Uzbekistan
Strong parliament is important to maintain balance of interests. Reforms sharply increased lawmaking activity in Uzbekistan, but does it affect the quality of regulation?
Evaluating a Sluggish Economy with Bruce YandleMercatus Center
In the first half of 2016, the US economy skirted close to recession territory but so far has registered positive growth. What are the major forces that seem to be driving the slow-growth economy? Is the economy getting stronger? Or, will we hit recession territory before the end of the year?
The Affordable Care Act fundamentally changed the landscape of the U.S. health care system. With more than five years since the law’s passage, questions remain about how to fix a system that remains broken despite recent reform efforts. Did the Affordable Care Act adequately reform a failing health system, or did that prescription only treat the symptoms of a much larger illness?
With nearly a trillion dollars at stake and draft legislation in development, now is the time for policymakers to free spectrum for innovative 21st century use. In order for 21st century technologies like the sharing economy and the Internet of Things to reach their full potential, and drive economic opportunity, more spectrum must be made available. Federal spectrum reallocation is a win-win-win scenario for the economy, social well-being, and the government.
Buchanan Speaker Series: Education, Inequality, and IncentivesMercatus Center
The F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics welcomed Roland G. Fryer, Jr., the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University and faculty director of the Education Innovation Laboratory, for the inaugural Buchanan Speaker Series event on “Education, Inequality, and Incentives.”
Modernizing Freight Rail Regulation: Recommendations from the TRB StudyMercatus Center
In June 2015, the National Academy of Sciences’ Transportation Research Board issued a report with recommendations to update and modernize economic regulation of rail freight transportation. Jerry Ellig served as a member of the committee that prepared the report. This presentation, given to the National Industrial Transportation League’s Railroad Transportation Committee in November 2015, summarizes the report’s main recommendations. For a short narrative that explains the recommendations, see Dr. Ellig’s commentary in Real Clear Policy.
Modernizing the SSDI Eligibility Criteria: Trends in Demographics and Labor M...Mercatus Center
Social Security Disability Insurance program outlays have increased rapidly, roughly doubling in real terms over the past fifteen years.Participation in program (as % of labor-force) has doubled over the past twenty years. Determining the cause of this rapid rate of growth is essential for setting the program on a sustainable, long-term responsible path.
How Can Policymakers and Regulators Better Engage the Internet of Things? Mercatus Center
The world today is seemingly always plugged into the Internet and technologies are constantly sharing data about our personal and professional lives. Device connectivity is on an upward trend with Cisco estimating that 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020. Collection and data sharing by these devices introduces a host of new vulnerabilities, raising concerns about safety, security, and privacy for policymakers and regulators.
Amid concerns about government data security, like the recent OPM breach, Congress is considering cybersecurity information sharing legislation. But will a new information sharing program bolster federal information security? If not, what should be done instead?
Tools for Tracking the Economic Impact of LegislationMercatus Center
Laws passed by Congress impact the economy, but Congress has no systematic way to comprehensively track and assess the economic impact of legislative actions. This is especially difficult when laws empower federal agencies to regulate. While the current budget process scores and tracks the economic impact of spending and taxes, it does not account for the economic consequences of regulation.
The Sharing Economy: Perspectives on Policies in the New EconomyMercatus Center
The sharing economy’s rapid rise has transformed how many people work and live, from commuting, shopping, eating, vacationing, and even borrowing money. Firms like Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb seem to be grabbing headlines on a daily basis as they grow into billion-dollar ventures, disrupt local businesses, and create new policy questions for regulators.
To help shed light on these issues, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University invites you to join Research Fellow Christopher Koopman for a Capitol Hill Campus presentation examining the economics and policy issues surrounding the sharing economy.
Sustaining Surface Transportation: Overview of the Highway Trust Fund and Ide...Mercatus Center
The current system of funding highways is unsustainable. Expansion of the use of the trust fund, coupled with decreased revenue from gas taxes, has resulted in the fund falling short of demand for funding.
Stephen C. Goss Presentation for Mercatus Center SSDI PanelMercatus Center
The Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) trust fund’s projected 2016 depletion will require Congress to act soon to prevent large, sudden benefit cuts.
Experts on both sides of the aisle have noted that a “quick fix” of simply shifting payroll taxes from Social Security’s much larger retirement trust fund (OASI) into DI, without further reform, could cost Congress its last chance to solve Social Security’s broader financing problems before it is too late. What more responsible reform options are available?
The Mercatus Center and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget hosted a discussion on May 12 on how best to respond to SSDI’s financing crisis.

for
several
reasons:
v It
discovers
a
problem
that
needs
to
be
fixed
v It
receives

direc3ve
from

v It
receives
a

the

that
the

q Roundtables:

that
has
been
controversial
in

22. The

explained
the
reason
for
the
roundtable:
.
.
.
the

staff
recommended
that
the

solicit
the

on

for

and
what,
if
any,
changes
should
be
considered.
The

will
provide
a
forum
