The strict onechild policy was introduced to compare influenza transmission rates with a hypothetical one-child policy to rates with an actual one-child policy, since two or more children are often allowed in rural areas and for ethnic minorities [4] ; the existing census data do not reflect the effects of truly restricting families to one child. keywords: attack; child policy; contact; household; individual; influenza; model; population; rate; transmission cache: cord-001199-9khx93c0.txt plain text: cord-001199-9khx93c0.txt item: #2 of 42 id: cord-006055-9kz6kvdm author: Miller, Henry I title: Vox populi and public policy: why should we care? date: 2003 words: 1215 flesch: 44 summary: Although this anecdote might appear a historical curiosity to scientists today, nonexperts are becoming more and more prominent in formulating public policy decisions that require an understanding of subtle and complex scientific and technological phenomena. key: cord-006055-9kz6kvdm authors: Miller, Henry I title: Vox populi and public policy: why should we care? keywords: policy; public; science; technology cache: cord-006055-9kz6kvdm.txt plain text: cord-006055-9kz6kvdm.txt item: #3 of 42 id: cord-006100-zvb7bxix author: Connolly, John title: The “wicked problems” of governing UK health security disaster prevention: The case of pandemic influenza date: 2015-06-01 words: 6376 flesch: 34 summary: There are studies which consider crisis management, resilience and risk in the context of UK public policy (e.g. McConnell, 2003; Drennan and McConnell, 2006; Brassett et al., 2013) , however, there are very few case-based research studies which illustrate crisis and disaster governance challenges from the perspective of those institutions and policy actors that are responsible for managing such wicked problems from a macro-level policy position.

We begin with certain principles guiding general scientific modeling and focus on Milton Friedman's 1968 Presidential Address that delineates the strengths and limitations of monetary policy to pursue certain goals. keywords: fed; financial; policy; regime; unemployment; volatility cache: cord-311521-4calrk5l.txt plain text: cord-311521-4calrk5l.txt item: #35 of 42 id: cord-329534-deoyowto author: McBryde, Emma S. title: Role of modelling in COVID-19 policy development date: 2020-06-18 words: 3145 flesch: 33 summary: Economic evaluation and policies have combined epidemic models and traditional economic models to address the economic consequences of COVID-19, which have informed policy calls for easing restrictions.
