India's tryst with salt: Dandi march to low sodium salts

Differentiated environmental taxes and high-quality economic development in China: theory and evidence
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Oct 19. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-30168-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnvironmental tax policy plays an important role in promoting economic efficiency, but it is unclear whether the taxation is well-designed and effective. The differentiated environmental tax and fee policy in China has come a long way in the past 20 years, along with the aim of high-quality economic development that focuses on the harmony of environment and productivity, so it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the differentiated environmental tax and fee policy. This paper constructs a pollution and environme...

No smoking gun: tobacco taxation and smuggling in Sierra Leone
Conclusions
By presenting a low income and lower enforcement capacity case study, this paper provides novel and critical evidence to the debate on the tax-smuggling link. Furthermore, it points to new questions on how states in these contexts can limit cigarette smuggling. (Source: Tobacco Control)

Refusing to pay taxes: Loneliness, conspiracy theorizing, and non-normative political action.
Social Psychology, Vol 54(5), 2023, 308-319; doi:10.1027/1864-9335/a000529Conspiracy theorizing can motivate non-normative intentions (e.g., tax evasion and violence). However, less is known about the contributors of these conspiracy-inspired intentions or if they translate into behaviors. Two studies (N = 1,155) found a positive correlation between loneliness and conspiracy theorizing, which in turn related to non-normative intentions. Study 3 (n = 234) provided further evidence of these relationships through serial mediations: participants who remembered a lonely experience (vs. control) reported feeling lonelier, which ...

The system is funded primarily by general taxes, and it is managed by the 17 regions that have responsibility for the provision and management of healthcare services in their respective territories. The health system recognizes self-care as an important element where individuals have an important role t...

Rational social distancing policy during epidemics with limited healthcare capacity
by Simon K. Schnyder, John J. Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto, Matthew S. Turner
Epidemics of infectious diseases posing a serious risk to human health have occurred throughout history. During recent epidemics there has been much debate about policy, including how and when to impose restrictions on behaviour. Policymakers must balance a complex spectrum of objectives, suggesting a need for quantitative tools. Whether health services might be ‘overwhelmed’ has emerged as a key consideration. Here we show how costly interventions, such as taxes or subsidies on behaviour, can be used to exactly align individuals’ decision mak...

Examining attitudes toward a proposed sugar-sweetened beverage tax among urban Indigenous adults: a qualitative study using a decolonizing lens

Print 2023 Sep-Oct.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Sugar-sweetened beverage taxation has been proposed as a public health policy to reduce consumption, and compared with other ethnic or racialized groups in Canada, off-reserve Indigenous populations consume sugar-sweetened beverages at higher frequencies and quantities. We sought to explore the acceptability and anticipated outcomes of a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages among Indigenous adults residing in an inner-city Canadian neighbourhood.METHODS: Using a community-based participatory research approach, we conduct...

When it comes to taxes, ownership intuitions abide by the law
We report data here suggesting that people's intuitions track law very closely, and are unaffected by manipulating a P() tag input. We propose two hypotheses to explain this finding.PMID:37813429 | DOI:10.1017/S0140525X23001206 (Source: The Behavioral and Brain Sciences)
