Playing in the SandPit

By Eric Crampton • 28/07/2015 This post was syndicated from Offsetting Behaviour - View original source


I’ve been blogging a bit over at The Sandpit – the NZ Initiative’s blog. A few recent highlights there:

  • Eminent domain is not nearly as awesome as the latest Productivity Commission report makes out.
  • Notes from my chat with Bryan Crump at Nights on Radio NZ on Social Impact Bonds.
  • Know your times tables – me at the ChCh Press on our recent Numeracy report.
  • Correcting Mathew Elliot on Social Impact Bonds.
  • Would that we had a regulatory budget to complement our fiscal budget.
Enjoy!
