Although social policies on ageing have historically received significant attention in the academic literature, strategies for successfully implementing these policies in real-world practice must be further researched. This case study aims to empirically evaluate the impact of a federal congregate meal programme (CMP) on seniors' ability to age in place and examine the challenges associated with this programme. High decentralisation, significant discretion, and territorial variation in the programme's implementation across states and regions present challenges for evaluating its efficiency and effectiveness nationwide. This case study examines the CMP of one of Florida's area agencies on ageing non-profits. The findings suggest that the CMP positively impacts self-care and independent living amongst participating seniors, independent of the number of days per week they participate in the programme. However, the programme's implementation faces several challenges in achieving a long-term impact on the community it serves. Many seniors lack access to the CMP due to long waiting lists, a lack of funding, or inadequate transportation. The study concludes that community governance and local cross-sectoral collaborations can be critical in mobilising tangible and intangible resources for the successful local administration of the federal CMP and serving a larger population in need.

We highlight a number of examples of complex thinking from ancient times to the current edge. We refer the earlier complexity perspectives to the cutting-edge understanding of complex adaptive (economic) systems. This illustrates that simplistic (neoclassical) equilibrium thinking is a big exemption rather than the 'normal' in HET. Since the 1980s, the mathematical, statistical, data, and computational resources have been fully developed and in fact successfully combined to finally demonstrate that complexity economics is the way of doing realistic and scientific economics, in contrast to reductionist and simplistic equilibrium modelling. We illustrate the potential of such scientific real-world economics with an example from evolutionary-institutional economics, and we consider modern policy implications of such complex economic thinking.

This paper examines the extent to which public debt and strands of different sources of investments impact long-term development among Sub-Saharan African economies. Compared to related studies, development in this study is proxied by a more holistic index instead of GDP growth and its variants often employed in existing studies. Empirical analysis examining the key objectives of the study uses the continuously updating estimator (CUE) methodology by Hansen et al. (1996). Various empirical estimates show that public debt and government consumption expenditures exert significant negative impact on long-term development. The results further show that for the sub-region, effective governance and institutional effectiveness may not mitigate the negative impact of public debt on development. We also find that macroeconomic uncertainty exacerbates the negative impact of public debt on development among economies in the sub-region.
本文考察了公共债务和不同投资来源对撒哈拉以南非洲经济体长期发展的影响程度。与相关研究相比,本研究采用更全面的指标来代表发展,而不是现有研究中常用的GDP增长及其变量。实证分析使用Hansen et al.(1996)的持续更新估计器(CUE)方法来检验研究的关键目标。各种实证估计表明,公共债务和政府消费支出对长期发展具有显著的负向影响。结果进一步表明,对该次区域而言,有效的治理和制度有效性可能无法减轻公共债务对发展的负面影响。我们还发现,宏观经济的不确定性加剧了公共债务对该次区域各经济体发展的负面影响。

The future of work is uncertain with various developments that are difficult to foresee. Despite this uncertainty, governments need to prepare the labour market for the future. This article identifies four types of government responses to uncertainty: robustness, resilience, agility, and anti-fragility. These policy responses are differentiated according to the intention and timing of governments' considerations of uncertainty. Document analysis shows that this typology is a useful conceptual tool for comparing how governments anticipate the future of the labour market. This typology might also serve as a powerful heuristic to analyse governments' responses to uncertainty in other domains.
