Financial liberalization has been a controversial issue, as empirical evidence for growth enhancing effects is mixed. Here, we find sizable welfare gains from liberalization (cost to repression), though the gain in economic growth is ambiguous. We take the view that financial liberalization is a government policy that alters the path of financial deepening, while financial deepening is endogenously chosen by agents given a policy and occurs in transition towards a distant steady state. This history-dependent view necessitates the use of simulation analysis based on a growth model. Our application is a specific episode: Thailand from 1976 to 1996.

Perspective: An overemphasis on vaccines for Mpox skewes important lessons from COVID-19 and the need for public health approaches.
J Infect Public Health

Research Center on Health Policies & Systems - International Health, School of Public Health, Université libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium.
The emergency declarations for Mpox triggered a flurry of appeals for 'vaccine equity' and the mass production of additional vaccine doses, citing a need to 'learn lessons' from COVID-19. We question whether the right lessons have been learned in terms of a supposed need to rollout vaccines quickly and widely, raising concerns about the consequences of an overreliance on expert-driven mass vaccination strategies over more diversified, context-specific and systemic public health strategies. Compared to COVID-19, Mpox has no such epidemic potential because it requires close contact for transmission.

Introduction: Health Technology Assessment (HTA) methods have been developed to support evidence-informed policy-making by assessing the comparative value and costs of health interventions and programs. However, the complexity of many health interventions presents challenges to the use of conventional HTA methods. This scoping review collated and synthesised international approaches to the HTA of complex interventions including identifying assessment criteria, types of evidence and the domains of value that are most favoured.

Department of Social Medicine and Public Health, Faculty of Public Health, Medical University of Plovdiv, 4002 Plovdiv, Bulgaria; Institute for Rare Diseases, 4023 Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Electronic address:
Rare cancers, defined by an annual incidence of fewer than 6 per 100,000 cases, pose significant challenges due to their complexity, lack of expertise, and limited treatment options. In Bulgaria, these challenges are compounded by limited resources, fragmented care, and outdated policies. This study investigates policy stakeholder perspectives to identify gaps and propose policy alternatives for rare cancer care in Bulgaria, with implications for the broader European Union (EU) context.
