Policy in the Pub: Designing the Roadmap for Regulatory Reform

Event Type: ESA Event

Date: Wednesday Sep 19, 2018, 5:30 pm

From: Victoria

Regulators face significant trade-offs in conducting their roles. Governments have been challenging their regulatory agencies to decrease the burden they impose on compliant stakeholders. However, poorly designed approaches may inadvertently encourage behaviours that go against the policy objectives underpinning regulatory schemes.

Join us for September's Policy in the Pub to hear from Anthony Rossiter from the Centre for Market Design to discuss the case for using economic design principles and processes to improve the design and implementation of regulation, drawing on a case study in biosecurity regulation.

Short- and long-term consequences of teachers' gender biases

Date: Friday Aug 31, 2018, 12:00 pm

From: Queensland

Presentation by Dr. Rigissa Megalokonomou, University of Queensland

Abstract: Recent research focuses on factors determining gender differences in academic achievements and in university field of study. In this study we focus on how teachers’ gender role attitudes and stereotypes influence the gender gap by affecting the environment at school. We explore the extent to which teachers’ gender bias in high school influences students’ academic performance in high-stake exams that determine admission to universities and on students’ choice of university field of study.  We introduce a new way of measuring teacher gender bias and we link teachers over time to get a persistent measure of their bias based on many classes.
