Inflation targets and inflation targeting
The North American Journal of Economics and Finance, 2002Co-Authors: Laurence H. MeyerAbstract:Abstract This paper examines the Federal Reserve System’s dual Policy Mandate pertaining to the promotion of price stability and high employment. It reviews the relative merits of single and dual Mandates and assesses the viability of explicit inflation targets. An inflation-targeting regime is described and the experiences of several countries are reviewed. These considerations lead to proposed adoption of an explicit inflation target within the context of the Fed’s current dual Mandate. This Policy reform would, among other things, increase Policy transparency and provide a firm anchor for inflation expectations.

responding to a Policy Mandate to collaborate structuring collaboration in the collaborative forest landscape restoration program
Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2016Co-Authors: Ashley S. Monroe, William H. ButlerAbstract:The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) aims to expand the pace and scale of forest restoration on national forests in the United States. The program requires candidate projects to develop landscape-scale forest restoration proposals through a collaborative process and continue to collaborate throughout planning, implementation, and monitoring. Our comparative case analysis of the initial selected projects examines how existing collaborative groups draw on past experience of collaboration and the requirements of a new Mandate to shape collaborative structures as they undertake CFLRP work. While mandating collaboration appears contrary to what is often defined as an informal and emergent process, Mandates can encourage stakeholder engagement and renew commitment to overcome past conflict. Our findings also suggest that a collaborative Mandate can lead to increased attention and scrutiny, prompting adjustments to collaborative process and structure. As such, mandating collaboration cr...

Phasing out the U.S. Federal Helium Reserve: Policy insights from a world helium model☆
Resource and Energy Economics, 2018Co-Authors: Olivier Massol, Omer RifaatAbstract:This paper develops a detailed partial equilibrium model of the global helium market to study the effects of the recently decided rapid phase out of the U.S. Federal Helium Reserve (FHR), a vast strategic stockpile accumulated during the 1960s. The model incorporates a detailed representation of that industry and treats both helium producers and the FHR as players in a dynamic non-cooperative game. The goal of each player is assumed to be the maximization of discounted profit, subject to technical and resource constraints. We consider two alternative policies aimed at organizing the phase out of the FHR: the currently implemented one and a less stringent one whereby the FHR would be allowed to operate as a profit-maximizing agent during an extended period of time. Evidences gained from a series of market simulations indicate that, compared to the current Policy, a less stringent Policy Mandate systematically increases the financial return to the U.S. federal budget, always enhances environmental outcomes as it lowers helium venting into the atmosphere, and also augments global welfare in three out of the four scenarios considered in the paper.

Evidences gained from a series of market simulations indicate that, compared to the current Policy, the less stringent Policy Mandate systematically increases the financial return to the U.S. federal budget, always enhances environmental outcomes as it lowers helium venting into the atmosphere, and also augments global welfare in three out of the four scenarios considered in the paper.

National implementation of a mental health service model: A survey of Crisis Resolution Teams in England
International journal of mental health nursing, 2017Co-Authors: Brynmor Lloyd-evans, Bethan Paterson, Steve Onyett, Ellie Brown, Hannah Istead, Richard Gray, Claire Henderson, Sonia JohnsonAbstract:In response to pressures on mental health inpatient beds and a perceived 'crisis in acute care', Crisis Resolution Teams (CRTs), acute home treatment services, were implemented nationally in England following the NHS Plan in the year 2000: an unprecedentedly prescriptive Policy Mandate for three new types of functional community mental health team. We examined the effects of this Mandate on implementation of the CRT service model. Two hundred and eighteen CRTs were mapped in England, including services in all 65 mental health administrative regions. Eighty-eight percent (n = 192) of CRT managers in England participated in an online survey. CRT service organization and delivery was highly variable. Nurses were the only professional group employed in all CRT staff teams. Almost no teams adhered fully to government implementation guidance. CRT managers identified several aspects of CRT service delivery as desirable but not routinely provided. A national Policy Mandate and government guidance and standards have proved insufficient to ensure CRT implementation as planned. Development and testing of resources to support implementation and monitoring of a complex mental health intervention is required.
