“…In the context of privacy, this knowledge has been referred to as 'privacy literacy', defined by Langenderfer and Miyazaki (2009) as "the understanding that consumers have of the information landscape with which they interact and their responsibilities within that landscape" (p. 383). As the self-disclosure of private information on SNS creates numerous instances where 'privacy leakage' may occur (Krishnamurthy and Wills, 2008), privacy literacy becomes an increasingly critical asset for consumers in an information landscape where the burden of privacy protection rests heavily in their hands (Langenderfer and Miyazaki, 2009;Nehf, 2007).…”

We examine the (dis)incentive effects created by the respective tax systems to invest in human capital in Atlantic Canada and compare this to a select group of provinces from the rest of Canada. While findings show a steady decline in effective tax rates through the years, thereby creating an incentive effect to invest in post-secondary education, disproportionately higher rate gap differentials in the Atlantic Provinces, on average, combined with negative comparative statics reveal a somewhat different undertone. The counterproductive nature of the competing policies effectively nullifies any status quo argument for education or tax policy in the Atlantic Provinces, when compared to their brethren. The graduate retention rebate provides some solace to the narrative in helping to alleviate early tax burdens and equalize returns, but is difficult to claim effectiveness in assuaging any monetary windfall associated with migration. IntroductionThe goal of this paper is to assess the (dis)incentive effects created by the provincial tax systems for human capital investment in Atlantic Canada. Our test subjects are university graduates, but we note that such methodology could be applied to any level or subset of the population that possess human capital deemed scarce and productive, in the economic sense. We do not purport to suggest that university graduates are more important in the economic well being of an economy than, say, skilled trades or college graduates, e.g., and encourage one to think of our case as a subset of a larger sample of possibilities. Our presumption, like our goal, is simple; namely, an empirical investigation of incentivizing the tax system in Atlantic Canada remains an unexplored possibility for strategic policy implementation to retain and recruit scarce resources in the market for human capital. We use the impact on effective tax rates (ETRs) and rates of return as our policy litmus test and explore by empirical and simulation analysis the unilateral exploitation of a select number of provincial tax systems. Some may claim that this work puts the * Collins would like to acknowledge the support of the CRS-SSHRC institutional research grant at St. Francis Xavier University in helping to complete this research.proverbial cart before the horse, as it were, since to attract workers a province needs the requisite infrastructure and such may not be currently present at the appropriate level(s) to warrant an increase in the supply of skilled labour. To that end, we suggest that a more accurate assessment (or, at least, a plausible alternative) might be akin to a "chicken or the egg" argument; namely, which comes first? We leave this debate up to the interested reader for now, and focus on establishing the empirics of the analysis in an effort to add the requisite fodder for a more informed discussion.While previous research has examined the disincentive effects created by the tax system for, e.g., university and college graduates (see, for instance, Burbidge et al., 2012), the current study is diff...

“…Knowledge provides decision making control (Ajzen and Driver, 1991;Armitage and Conner, 1999;Awad and Krishnan, 2006;Chartrand, 2005) and affects individuals' behaviour (Buchanan et al 2007) which could be thought to include information sharing in OSNs. As such, privacy literacy becomes an increasingly critical asset for consumers in an information landscape where the burden of privacy protection rests heavily in their hands (Langenderfer and Miyazaki, 2009;Nehf, 2007).…”

“…The latter refers to one having knowledge about one's own mental processes (Demetriou and Kazi 2006), in this case, knowledge about how one mentally functions in the marketplace. Langenderfer and Miyazaki (2009) conceive privacy literacy as an understanding of the landscape within which one is interacting and of one's responsibilities within that landscape. Bone, France, and Aikin (2009, p. 191) conclude that “a theoretical foundation, as well as empirical research, is necessary to implement successful literacy campaigns.”…”

Consumer Acumen: Augmenting Consumer Literacy

Appreciating that some consumer scholars are expressing frustration with the limitations of consumer literacy, this article offers the additional construct of consumer acumen (i.e., an astute, penetrating mind and intellect). After discussing consumer confidence in a global recession and emergent post‐recession consumer segments (reflecting the recession's psychological toll), consumer acumen, modeled after the emergent literature on business acumen, is defined, including six proposed dimensions. Consumer acumen augments consumer literacy with keen, penetrating consumer intelligence that informs quick perception and discernment of changing economic contexts. Consumer acumen is a foundational competency for the future, enabling people to better function in the post‐recession economy.
