This project will provide policy recommendations to promote national research priority 3: particularly goals 4 & 5. It will do this by using good regulation to increase the safety of online investing services. It will bring to Australia international expertise not available here, crucial to good regulation of online investing. If investors trust this mostly beneficial technology it will further Australians' prosperity through investment e.g. for retirement. Competitive advantage through good regulation will bring overseas investors to Australia through the Internet. It will consolidate its role as a financial centre. With 51% of adults owning shares, this research could save Australians more than $1.6 billion per annum! Read moreRead less
Developing culturally relevant social marketing interventions to increase blood donation amongst migrant communities: the case of African migrants. To increase blood donation amongst migrant communities, a culturally relevant intervention will be developed and tested. This will ensure migrants are integrated into Australian society and that blood supplies are sustainable, by overcoming migrants’ potential lack of understanding of local blood donation processes and perceptions that they may be ex ....Developing culturally relevant social marketing interventions to increase blood donation amongst migrant communities: the case of African migrants. To increase blood donation amongst migrant communities, a culturally relevant intervention will be developed and tested. This will ensure migrants are integrated into Australian society and that blood supplies are sustainable, by overcoming migrants’ potential lack of understanding of local blood donation processes and perceptions that they may be excluded.Read moreRead less
Wicked defaults: how to overcome the dark side of choice architecture. This project aims to investigate how defaults and product complexity might be used to exploit consumers in environments like private insurance where consumers are prone to making systematic errors. Defaults are used to nudge individuals into socially beneficial actions such as increasing their retirement savings and joining organ donor lists. However, in the hands of firms, defaults can also be used to exploit consumers by en ....Wicked defaults: how to overcome the dark side of choice architecture. This project aims to investigate how defaults and product complexity might be used to exploit consumers in environments like private insurance where consumers are prone to making systematic errors. Defaults are used to nudge individuals into socially beneficial actions such as increasing their retirement savings and joining organ donor lists. However, in the hands of firms, defaults can also be used to exploit consumers by encouraging choices that help the firm but disadvantage consumers. The project intends to study experimentally whether exploitation can be reduced via competition and reputation building systems based on consumer feedback.Read moreRead less

Resonant tender X-ray scattering of organic semiconductors. This project aims to establish resonant tender X-ray scattering as a mature technique for unravelling the complex microstructure of organic semiconductor layers. By understanding and exploiting the resonant interaction between organic semiconductors and X-rays tuned to appropriate absorption edges, new information about the molecular packing of these materials will be obtained. The expected outcomes are new experimental methodologies an ....Resonant tender X-ray scattering of organic semiconductors. This project aims to establish resonant tender X-ray scattering as a mature technique for unravelling the complex microstructure of organic semiconductor layers. By understanding and exploiting the resonant interaction between organic semiconductors and X-rays tuned to appropriate absorption edges, new information about the molecular packing of these materials will be obtained. The expected outcomes are new experimental methodologies and analysis tools for determining the complex structure of technologically relevant materials. Benefits include understanding of the properties of solution-processed semiconductors enabling the design of high performance materials with applications in energy, electronics, lighting and health.Read moreRead less
