Check for Updates In this unit we study individuals' incentives, and we try to understand their choices and behaviour in the context of societal issues that affect them as much as others around them. The economic concepts and tools we study are applied to explain complex, real-world events, sometimes in a simplistic and manageable way. This is designed to get you to apply the economic concepts you learn in the first weeks of this unit and apply your critica thinking to social issues. This requires you to identify and research a social issue of your interest related to specific topics covered in the first weeks of classes. You will be required to explain and analyse a particular social issue from an economics perspective applying economic concepts and tools. Note, the report is not simply an informative report on a particular social issue, but a critical analysis from an economics perspective of the social issues and the behaviour and incentives of the individuals involved. This also intends to introduce you to effective written communication in the Economics discipline Instructions: You need to identify and explain a specific Australian social issue related to the general topics provided below. Guiding questions are also provided to help you understand and analyse the social issue. You will require the use of economic principles, concepts and tools (including game theory) in order to examine the nature of the social issue and propose and analyse potential solutions. Students will be required to choose one topic, identify an Australian social issue related to that topic and address the guiding questions (provided below) in a report format. Topics: Integrity and Trust: corporate integrity, business ethics, cyber-crime Common Happiness and Wellbeing: mental health, community cohesion, inequality Guiding Instructions: 1. Choose a topic from the list provided above and identify a contemporaneous Australian case study related to the topic chosen. Use recent reports, media, publications, etc. to identify a case study of the social issue you have selected. Explain what the social issue/social dilemma is - provide some context (don't spend too much space in your report providing the context/background... avoid a purely informative report; provide a critical thinking report). 2. Discuss the nature of the social issue and explain the motivations of all agents/players| involved. Use economic concepts, principles, and tools to help you explain the nature and reason for the social issue. 3. Explore whether there are existing policies or other types of solutions implemented to address the social issue. Did they work? Discuss and analyse current public policies to approach the social issue identified. (don't spend too much space in your report providing the historical background of policies and solutions... avoid a purely informative provide a critical thinking report). 4.
