23 Pol'y Persp. iv (2016)

handle is hein.journals/plyps23 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORS' NOTE
As has been the case for the past 23 years, students and alumni writing for this Volume
23 of Policy Perspectives have their fingers on the pulse of the greatest public policy
issues facing America and the world. Articles, book reviews, and an interview cover
topics including health insurance, public health, youth empowerment, climate change,
immigration, refugee resettlement policy, income inequality, and art as a policy tool. In
addition, this year we started a blog, where members of the Trachtenberg community
can exhibit their academic interests in shorter-form writing. We are proud to provide
a platform for these exceptional students and alumni to contribute to the academic
conversation in their fields of expertise.
In choosing articles for Volume 23, we selected those that analyzed unique ideas
through a strong theoretical framework. Cost-benefit analysis, adverse selection, and
hyperbolic preferences provide frameworks for arguments on policies that can improve
health, address climate change, increase government efficiency, and empower youth.
We owe a great debt of gratitude to our amazing Policy Perspectives team: Marisa
Kanof, who very nearly single-handedly created and ran the blog and who freely lent
her assistance when needed, including help with the launch event, taking on our social
media presence, and last-minute proofing; Callie McLean, who led us through the
printing process, developed the journal layout, designed the journal cover, and edited
the book reviews; to Associate Editors Arpan Dasgupta, Josh Garties, Nick Hugh, Shane
Loughran, Ridhi Sahai, and Janette Martinez who provided invaluable insight through
several rounds of editing of the featured articles; Meng Li, who stepped up to fact-check
Chinese-language sources; the Deputy Editors of the blog, Maria Wimsatt, Emily Russel,
and Conor McGrath, who volunteered to proofread the journal; and the entire blog
staff, who gave us something to brag about every two weeks.
Of course, this journal would not be possible without the support and guidance of our
faculty advisor and Director of the Trachtenberg School, Dr. Kathryn Newcomer. We are
also endlessly thankful to the faculty reviewers who lent their expertise to these articles;
to Amber Palmer-Halma for her guidance and for enabling us to communicate with the
Trachtenberg community; and to the TSO board for supporting us and helping us to
shamelessly promote the journal.
