Thank you @thehousemag.bsky.social #WiW100

FAO business case nerds: government are finally getting round to publishing business cases.

This has been a long time coming - I remember working on ideas around this over three years ago.

So well done to the government for actually getting on with it.

A strong OBR is in everyone’s interests | Institute for Government The chancellor should appoint a strong chair of the Office for Budget Responsibility to replace Richard Hughes.

A strong OBR is in everyone’s interests

In our latest comment, @gemmatetlow.bsky.social tells us why replacing Richard Hughes with someone seen as more compliant to the government’s views would bring a high cost to the government and the country www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/stro...

Reeves needs to avoid a patsy OBR Chair. (to paraphrase) New @gemmatetlow.bsky.social @instituteforgovernment.org.uk blog on the need to maintain a strong, independent institution, even if its very annoying sometimes www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/stro...

Combined epidemiological and economic modelling | Institute for Government The pandemic showed the need for government to improve its use of modelling.

As the covid inquiry gears up for Module 9 on economic policy, @gemmatetlow.bsky.social and I have a new @ukri.org-funded @instituteforgovernment.org.uk report out on Epi-econ modelling for pandemics. We set out why govt needs to invest now 1/🧵

NEW REPORT | Combined epidemiological and economic modelling: How can government better prepare for future pandemics?

@gemmatetlow.bsky.social @shaina-sangha.bsky.social reveal how the government needs to improve its use of modelling.

www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/...

Thank you to colleagues @imperial-jameel.bsky.social and @lshtm.bsky.social for their support on this work, and to @ukri.org for funding. Thanks also to the many experts who spoke to us and to IfG colleagues for reviewing (and improving!) earlier drafts of the paper.

Govt needs to 1️⃣establish a network of external epi-econ researchers 2️⃣strengthen X-govt governance for pandemics 3️⃣develop at least one in-house model 4️⃣create dedicated research funding streams for pandemics 5️⃣create formal structures ahead of time for epi-econ evidence synthesis at the top of govt

There are challenges for govt using these models: analysis is siloed in depts between econ and epi; challenge handling complexity or uncertainty in analysis; govt could ‘use and abuse’ models by over relying on them for perfect solutions in complex scenarios.

Better use of more developed epi-econ models could help next time. Can be used as decision-making tools surfacing trade-offs during pandemics. Also for prep, testing policies under diff scenarios, identifying trade-offs, inflection points & unintended consequences & valuing preparatory investments.

I know this might sound niche but one key problem during Covid was a failure to join up public health expertise and economics - too often this was seen as a straight trade-off, rather than interacting systems where decisions in one feed back to the other.

Hot on the heels of yesterday's Covid inquiry report on decision making, @shaina-sangha.bsky.social and I have a new report out today looking at how combined epidemiological-economic modelling could help government better prepare for future pandemics www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/...
