The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. As tariffs have fallen dramatically over the past decades, behind-the-border measures—such as technical barriers to trade (TBT) and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures—have become increasingly important for international trade policy. To facilitate trade, governments sign trade agreements in which they agree to base such measures on international standards. But who actually develops these standards? This book takes a close look at the International Organization for Standardization and the Codex Alimentarius – two prominent standard-setting organizations in the area of TBT and SPS – to investigate how international standardization influences the design of international trade agreements, and vice versa.

Invoices document economic transactions and are thus critical to assess tax liabilities. We study a reform in the Dominican Republic that aimed to integrate invoice management into a broader, more comprehensive, risk-based compliance strategy. By rationing authorized invoices based on an extra scrutiny of each taxpayer’s compliance history, the reform led to significant and persistent improvements on filing, payment, and information reporting obligations and a modest increase in reported tax liabilities. Our study shows that deterrence effects over compliance behaviors are strengthened when the tax administration makes explicit and active use of taxpayers’ information, no matter if the invoicing framework is paper-based or electronic.

Cross-border payments are expensive, slow, and opaque. These problems reflect multiple frictions, many of which boil down to limited trust among counterparties. Trust plays a central role in exchanging credit-based money. End users need to trust the issuers of money, and issuers must trust users to satisfy financial integrity requirements. Transactions are possible only where trust links exist. Interoperability between different forms of money can thus be conceptualized as the network of trusted links necessary for transactions. Traditionally, across borders, trust links involve exclusive bilateral credit relationships among correspondent banks. However, the fixed costs required to build these links foster an expensive and concentrated system. This paper interprets different payment arrangements in terms of the implied trust structures. It discusses how the tokenization of money alters trust links and allows for a potentially more efficient market structure to exchange money. The paper ends with a suggested global marketplace to trade tokenized money directly across borders.

Population medicine is an emerging medical discipline that aims to maximize aggregate and long-term population health by mobilizing accessible resources through its five care responsibilities: prevention, diagnosis, control, treatment, and recovery; integrating and applying knowledge, principles, and technologies of modern medicine and related disciplines; coordinating individual health behaviors and collective health actions; and serving as the medical foundation of public health practices. Population health economics is important in population medicine and public health. Since resources are limited, in order to maximize the aggregate and long-term population health benefit we must produce and allocate resources in an effective and efficient manner. The value of healthcare interventions are often underestimated and health resources are mostly insufficient. The broader social and economic values of healthcare interventions are frequently ignored. It is important that we distribute health resources wisely and maximize efficiencies at all three levels—micro, meso, and macro-levels. Thus, this Research Topic focuses on how population health economics, as both a key method and a value, can help population medicine practitioners to provide better and more efficient care to the population they serve.
