	Scotland on Sunday - Health - Fertility doctors in ethical 'rape' claim
		Professor Kim Swales, of the Fraser of Allander Institute at Strathclyde University, and Dr Hugh McLachlan, of the social policy department at Glasgow Caledonian University, have analysed the legal issues of the Blood case.
		McLachlan and Swales say the procedure used on Stephen Blood, in which his genitals were electrically stimulated to cause ejaculation, might have irreparably damaged his testicles if he had survived.
		The view of McLachlan and Swales on assault was backed by Sheila McLean, professor of medical law and ethics at Glasgow University and the author of a report for the UK government on the Blood case.

		This avoids funding problems by not having an actual subsidy but a virtual one - the funds flow is always from employers to the government, being netted off by the virtual subsidy before funds ever change hands.

		That last point deals with JQ’s problem of varying grants by family size; there need be only one wage earner in a household for all members to benefit from their vouchers.
		We can and should try for a Swales type system just as soon as we have found what else is involved, what catches there might be like effects on foreign trade and implied commitments we already have and the like.
		With the Swales approach, you don’t get the same problem of effective marginal rates since there is no point of impact on people’s individual income tax.

	Scotsman.com News - Politics - Devolution helped prevent country's slip into recession
		And the academic team believe that the recession-beating effect of devolution is not a result of the increased public spending under the newly- elected Labour government, but due to the setting up of the parliament itself - a large new institution in Edinburgh.
		Professor Brian Ashcroft, along with Peter McGregor and Kim Swales, examined the information which has now become available about the Scottish economy before, during and after the establishment of the parliament.
		They used an economic model, which has proved accurate in the past, to predict what would have happened to the economy in 1999 had devolution not occurred.

	Scotsman.com Business - Devolution finance has been stabilised by Barnett formula
		The report warned that applying the formula - which calculates how much of the UK Government's tax revenue is transferred to Scotland - would lead to a 5 per cent cut in Scotland's employment.
		Authors of the report - Dr Karen Turner, Prof Peter McGregor, Prof Kim Swales - and researchers Linda Ferguson and David Learmonth said their work demonstrated there was a "Barnett squeeze" - a cut in Scotland's budget over time.
		The report's findings were based on changes made by Alistair Darling when he was Chief Secretary to the Treasury in 1997.

	John Quiggin: The new consensus on minimum wages
		You would measure the cost of one rung dropped rather than of falling off completely.
		I think I'll give another plug to Professor Kim Swales of the University of Strathclyde, whose approach to unemployment amounts to raising minimum wages without causing an increase in the marginal cost of labour (in fact, a reduction).
		It's a Pigovian thing, which I go into at my publications page linked via the URL I posted along with this.

		The scale of this expected change over the next four decades is considerable.
		“According to the most recently available population projections carried out by the Government’s actuary department,” said Professor Swales, “The population in Scotland will decline from its current level of about 5 million to 4.5 million by 2043 — a decrease of about 10 percent.
		As the population shrinks, its age distribution will also change dramatically.”

	John Quiggin: Science vs the right: Part 2 (Australia)
		On the CIS, it's one of several groups I've tried to get to look into the work of Professor Kim Swales of the University of Strathclyde, on using GST tax credits to address unemployment.
		My feeling is that the CIS is selective in what it follows up, even when there is a clean libertarian version of the matter.
		Yet there is one approach that would improve all of these with little difficulty, that of Professor Kim Swales of the University of Strathclyde, which applies a tax credit to GST.

		There are other methods they could use that would actually work, e.g.
		Professor Kim Swales's method of Pigovian offsets to a broad based tax on producers.
		Perhaps I should add, distortions like regulated minimum wages only cause second order or worse declines, so if your personal utility function counts equity or whatever higher than job losses if only there is enough equity gain per job loss, then a sufficiently small distortion will suit you.
