Wendy Wagner, from the Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration, and Environmental Law at the University of Texas School of Law, explores perceptions and perversity of computational modeling in making public health policy.
Should the government produce information on, say, climate, employment rates, or drug safety? If so, should it make that information freely available? Or, should it charge for access or perhaps allow access only for certain uses? Indeed, should the government bar private individuals who gather data from making those data freely available? Or, should they be taxed when they make data freely available?
