The head of the productivity commission outlines numerous ways government can improve productivity.

The objects humans send to space teach us a lot about the universe, but they are also cluttering it up. While some objects are close enough to be retrieved, others become dangerous, fast-moving bullets that can cause serious damage. In addition to cleaning up what's already there, MIT Assistant Professor Danielle Wood says that we need to think more sustainably about the technology used in future missions. "We have to ask the question, will we respect the rights of people and the environment as we go forward in space," Wood says. One possible solution is a wax-based fuel source (made of beeswax and candle wax) for satellites that would be less toxic and more affordable than currently used inorganic compounds, and that would help bring the objects closer to Earth for deorbiting and destruction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about your ad choices.

Consumers have noticed bags of chips, chocolates, and many other products have shrunk, but prices have not come down. This episode of Economics Explored features a detailed discussion on shrinkflation with Gene Tunny and Arturo Espinoza Bocangel. They analyze various examples of shrinkflation and its impact on the cost of living. The episode also considers the potential for regulatory and other measures to address this practice. For instance, a US Senator wants to outlaw shrinkflation, and a French supermarket chain puts a sticker on shelves identifying shrunken products. Gene and Arturo also consider the high degree of market concentration in the grocery sector and what the FTC in the US and the ACCC in Australia can do about it.If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please email us at contact@economicsexplored.com  or send a voice message via https://www.speakpipe.com/economicsexplored. What's covered in EP241Introduction to Shrinkflation (product shrinking in size while price remains the same). (0:00)Shrinkflation in the food industry, with examples of product size reductions and price increases. (5:04)Senator Casey's proposal to stop corporations from deceiving consumers through shrinkflation. (10:05)Shrinkflation and its impact on consumer prices. (13:38)Shrinkflation as a business strategy. (19:10)Market power and concentration in the Australian supermarket industry. (25:25)Supermarket competition in Australia, with a focus on Coles and Woolworths. (30:12)Supermarket power and calls for regulation. (35:47)Coles and Woolworths' market power and supplier squeeze. (40:41)TakeawaysShrinkflation Explained: Shrinkflation occurs when manufacturers reduce the size of products while maintaining the same price, effectively increasing the unit price without consumers' direct awareness.Impact on Consumers: This practice can be deceptive, as it often goes unnoticed by consumers who end up paying more for less, affecting their purchasing power and overall cost of living.Supermarket Power: Large supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths have significant market power, which they can use to negotiate lower prices from suppliers. There are allegations of unfair use of this market power and there are a couple of government inquiries investigating this among other market power issues. Regulatory Responses: There are ongoing discussions and legislative efforts, such as those led by Senator Bob Casey in the US, to classify shrinkflation as a deceptive practice and regulate it more strictly.Market Concentration: The high level of market concentration in the supermarket sector, particularly in Australia and to an extent in the US, means that major supermarkets can allegedly make it harder for new entrants like Aldi and Costco to compete effectively.Links relevant to the conversationSenator Casey's Report on Shrinkflation: https://www.casey.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/shrinkflation_report.pdfABS on how shrinkflation is accounted for in CPI calculation:https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/quality-change-australian-cpiCarrefour's Shrinkflation Warning:https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66809188  Sanjoy Paul's article on eight ways Woolworths and Coles squeezed their suppliers and customers:https://theconversation.com/8-ways-woolworths-and-coles-squeeze-their-suppliers-and-their-customers-223857Details on the exchange between the Woolworths CEO and an Australian Senator during an inquiry - “Greens senator threatens Woolworths CEO with six months in prison for contempt of Senate”:https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-16/woolworths-ceo-threatened-with-contempt-by-senate-committee/103728244Bloomberg report on Lina Khan and FTC:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/09/lina-khan-federal-trade-commission-antitrust-monopoliesPrevious episodes discussing supermarkets and market power with Simon Cowan and Danielle Wood:https://economicsexplored.com/2023/08/31/how-to-improve-housing-affordability-and-why-the-greedflation-thesis-is-wrong-w-simon-cowan-cis-ep203/https://economicsexplored.com/2024/03/12/from-the-vault-antitrust-with-danielle-wood-now-australian-productivity-commission-chair/Lumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee until 30 June 2024.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED Thanks to Obsidian Productions for mixing the episode and to the show's sponsor, Gene's consultancy business www.adepteconomics.com.au. Full transcripts are available a few days after the episode is first published at www.economicsexplored.com.

The Prime Minister has already made it clear what will be the centrepiece of the next federal budget. His second term agenda centres around a Future Made in Australia. Everyone loves the idea of more stuff being made in Australia, particularly Labor Prime Ministers - but the question is at what cost to taxpayers and to consumers. Now, we still don't know all of the details of this plan for a future made in Australia. But we do know it will involve government subsidies and tax incentives aimed at trying to encourage more manufacturing of things like solar panels, batteries, and other green tech that's going to be needed in the transition to net zero future.Various former Productivity Commissioners have warned about a return to the bad old days of protectionism, throwing money around on uncompetitive industries. And even the current Productivity Commissioner Danielle Wood, appointed to the role by the treasurer late last year, has raised some concerns. David Speers speaks to Commissioner Wood in the latest episode of Insiders: On Background.

Almost 70 years ago—in the middle of the Cold War—the United States and the Soviet Union kicked off the race to space, and that high-stakes sprint transformed humanity's relationship with space forever. Ultimately the USSR launched the first satellite, Sputnik, and the U.S. put the first humans on the moon.Now we're in a different space race. But this time, there are a lot more contenders. There are more satellites in orbit than ever before, NASA is trying to put humans on Mars, countries are still sending landers to the moon, and billionaires are using rockets as tourist vehicles. All this activity raises some serious questions: Who is in charge of space? And who makes the rules?Journalist Khari Johnson explored these questions in a recent feature for Wired magazine, featuring experts at the forefront of these issues. Guest host Sophie Bushwick is joined by two of them: Dr. Timiebi Aganaba, assistant professor of space and society at Arizona State University, and Dr. Danielle Wood, assistant professor and director of the Space Enabled Research Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They discuss the role of space lawyers, what cases they may argue, and how the rules of space—and the potential for conflicts—are evolving.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

As well as her interviews with politicians and experts, Politics with Michelle Grattan includes “Word from The Hill”, where she discusses the news with members of The Conversation's politics team. In this podcast Michelle and politics + society editor Amanda Dunn discuss the latest national accounts and Jim Chalmers' announcement that Grattan Institute CEO Danielle Wood will take over as head of the Productivity Commission. The appointment came as a surprise, after Chris Barrett, chosen for the position only recently, decided he had a better offer – he will become head of the Victorian Treasury. They also canvass the QANTAS saga, which has seen its now former CEO Alan Joyce step down earlier than scheduled. The news came amid public anger over its poor customer service, and after the national carrier was taken to court by the consumer watchdog for selling more than 8000 tickets on flights already cancelled. And finally, they discuss Anthony Albanese's trip to Indonesia for the ASEAN summit, followed by a visit to the Philippines, before he attends the G20 meeting in India.

‘We don't have enough money.' That's what governments always say this time of year. But the case is being made for the poorest and most disadvantaged among us to get more support in the upcoming budget. But is it true? And if it is, are there ways to repair the budget that would leave enough money to help raise people out of poverty? Today, economist and CEO of the Grattan Institute, Danielle Wood, on how we can afford to raise the rate, and more ways to fix the budget.

Chief Executive Officer of the Grattan Institute Danielle Wood joins Democracy Sausage to discuss the pressures facing the Australian economy and to preview the May budget.How can the federal government manage the significant pressures on the budget while at the same time supporting those most in need during the cost-of-living crisis? Can Australia let go of its property investment ‘fetish' and ensure everyone has access to an affordable, decent place to live?

The problems plaguing the federal budget. We'll hear the case for big changes to cut spending and raise revenue with the Grattan Institute's Danielle Wood.

The Australian Government is on track for more than 25 years of budget deficits. It's a record that points to major structural issues with the budget. Tough decisions on spending and tax reform will be needed to avoid pushing the cost of today's spending onto future generations. Grattan's latest report offers a ‘menu of options' to repair the budget. Host Kat Clay discusses these recommendations with report authors Danielle Wood, Kate Griffiths, and Iris Chan.

In 1957, the Space Age began with the launch of Sputnik, the first artificial satellite. Since then, the number of objects humans have hurled toward the stars has soared to the thousands. As those objects have collided with one another, they've created more space debris in Earth's orbit. According to some estimates, all of that debris and human-made space trash, the number of objects — from satellites to screws — could be in the millions. In this iteration of our AAAS live show series, Short Wave co-host Aaron Scott talks to Danielle Wood, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT, about the dangers of accumulating space debris, and how she and others are working to make space more sustainable.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers handed down his first budget on Tuesday night, amid the usual fanfare of speculation, promises, posturing, and of course, photo ops. In this special Grattan podcast episode, Danielle Wood, CEO, and Kate Griffiths, Deputy Program Director, cut through the fanfare to the heart of this federal budget, and what it means for Australia's economic future.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says of his first budget: “Inflation is the dragon we need to slay”. Chalmers' worry about inflation was reinforced by Wednesday's release of the September quarter CPI, which showed inflation at 7.3%. In this podcast, we talk to Chalmers, shadow treasurer Angus Taylor, and the head of the Grattan Institute Danielle Wood. Among the topics we canvass are the budget's broad fiscal settings, the huge increases in power prices it forecasts, the pressures for tax and spending reforms in future budgets, the government's housing initiative, and the implications of the childcare policy for women's workforce participation.

This is where things get a bit fun! And, actually, this episode explains WHY i decided to do this election series. So. The policy and ideas gridlock is real. And there's a reason for it. But there's also a solution and policy think tank The Grattan Institute has mapped it out with research. It's to vote in a number of climate-focused MPs who do not belong to either of the major parties. As it happens, there are about 30 running across Australia this election, and if three of them (give or take) get voted in May 21, then they will hold the balance of power. And thusly Australia has the best chance of moving forward on those 5 Pillars of Care I keep banging on about: climate policy; a federal corruption body; women's equality; an indigenous voice to parliament; and addressing the growing divide between the haves and have nots. It might sound wonky and complex, but the Institute's Danielle and I break the whole thing down into simple - and super hopeful - terms.That Gridlock report we talk about?

The 2021 John Button Oration asks what sort of economic future we want to leave for the next generation. How can today's policymakers better reflect tomorrow's voices? Plus, what would a sustainable, and human-centred, economy look like? Is changing the system even possible, or is it in the realm of Utopia?
