In this “post truth” age of “fake news” and “alternative facts” uncertainty in the provenance of policy makes transparency in decision making increasingly important for evidence-based policymakers. This paper demonstrates how the convergence of Agent Based Modelling, Smart Contracts, Blockchain, and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies make possible the development of participatory decision support frameworks. The concept is demonstrated in a public health context by implementing an Agent Based Model of disease spread within a simulated population (SIR model) as a so-called Smart Contract deployed on a public Blockchain network. We demonstrate that in order to “close the loop” the simulation outcomes can be visualized using commodity VR hardware, and future extensions towards fully interactive simulations are proposed.

This paper aims to disentangle the factors determining the financial skills of young people in order to inspire effective policies aimed at improving the financial literacy of the population. PISA 2012 data is used. Special attention is paid to the sample selection and simultaneity biases that threaten the internal validity of the estimations. Our results show that the most important determinants of financial literacy of students are mathematical skills. Household socioeconomic level also has a statistically significant effect. School management model (public versus private) does not display any significant effect on the promotion of the financial culture of students.
