Public Poverty and the Middle Class Living Standard: A Note 公共贫困与中产阶级生活水平:一个注释
Pub Date : 2021-06-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3872658

This note, working from the basis of the author's prior paper, argues that the relatively high consumption standard associated with American "middle classness" was defined by the requirements of providing a household a minimum of comfort, mobility, security and economic opportunity in a context of (to use John Kenneth Galbraith's terminology) "private affluence" and "public poverty."
本文在作者先前论文的基础上提出,与美国“中产阶级”相关的相对较高的消费标准是由以下要求定义的:为家庭提供最低限度的舒适、机动性、安全和经济机会(用约翰·肯尼斯·加尔布雷斯的术语来说)“私人富裕”和“公共贫困”。

Are Move-in Ready Properties More Expensive? 可入住房产更贵吗?

A large share of residential properties on sale in developing countries is under construction. This is partly due to lengthy periods of construction. But purchasing under-construction properties can be costly and risky because of construction delays and the possibility of stalled construction. Hence, property sellers would expect buyers to pay higher prices for completed or move-in ready properties relative to under-construction ones. Prolonged construction times can also lead to higher resale prices. Buyers with an appetite for risk might purchase new under-construction properties at lower costs and resell these at higher prices, either when construction is complete, or when market prices increase, or both. In this paper, we use residential property listings data from the six largest urban agglomerations (UAs) in India - Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Delhi - between 2010-2012 and estimate the sellers' expected premium for move-in ready properties in each UA. Hedonic regressions of listed prices on property attributes reveal that the expected move-in ready premium is statistically significant in Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Delhi, and its magnitude varies between 3-14%. At unconditional average property prices, the move-in ready premium is 23-150% of an average household's income in these UAs. We also find that the expected resale premium is significant and varies between 2-16% in three UAs. The resale premium is partly explained by a higher move-in ready premium among resale properties and possible speculative behavior.
在发展中国家出售的住宅物业中,有很大一部分正在建设中。部分原因是建设时间过长。但由于施工延误和施工停滞的可能性,购买在建物业可能既昂贵又有风险。因此,房地产卖家会期望买家为已完工或可入住的房产支付高于在建房产的价格。延长的施工时间也会导致更高的转售价格。有风险偏好的买家可能会以较低的成本购买新的在建房产,然后在建筑完工或市场价格上涨时以更高的价格转售,或者两者兼而有之。在本文中,我们使用了印度六个最大城市群(班加罗尔、金奈、海得拉巴、加尔各答、孟买和德里)2010-2012年间的住宅物业清单数据,并估算了每个城市群中卖家对可入住房产的预期溢价。房地产属性的上市价格的享乐回归显示,在班加罗尔、加尔各答、孟买和德里,预期的入住准备溢价在统计上显着,其幅度在3-14%之间变化。按无条件的平均房价计算,在这些UAs,准备入住的溢价是平均家庭收入的23-150%。我们还发现,预期转售溢价显著,在三个ua中变化在2-16%之间。转售溢价的部分原因是转售物业的入住准备溢价较高,以及可能的投机行为。

Bringing Them In or Pushing Them Out? The Labor Market Effects of Pro-cyclical Unemployment Assistance Reductions 让他们进来还是把他们赶出去?顺周期失业援助减少对劳动力市场的影响
Pub Date : 2021-05-17 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3854130

We exploit variation from an unanticipated labor market reform in 2012 Spain to causally estimate the effects of pro-cyclical unemployment assistance (UA) reductions on job search behavior and re-employment outcomes. Shorter benefit durations effectively bring individuals back to work and reduce non-employment duration. However, they also induce displacements out of the labor force and strong substitution patterns towards other, less generous, welfare programs, highlighting the social insurance role of long-term benefits during economic downturns. Despite the sharp drop in non-employment duration, we also document a significant decrease in re-employment wages, consistent with reduced workers' reservation wages and limited duration dependence. Heterogeneity analyses show that relatively younger workers are the ones that are brought back into re-employment in lower-quality jobs, while older workers are pushed out of the labor force. Looking at responses over the non-employment spell, we provide evidence against the standard assumption of forward-looking behavior of benefit recipients, as we do not detect any change in workers' behavior before benefit exhaustion. Overall, we estimate that the reform induced only moderate fiscal savings for the government.
我们利用2012年西班牙出人意料的劳动力市场改革的变化来因果估计顺周期失业援助(UA)减少对求职行为和再就业结果的影响。较短的福利期限有效地使个人重返工作岗位并减少失业时间。然而,它们也会导致劳动力的流离失所和对其他不那么慷慨的福利计划的强烈替代模式,突出了经济衰退期间长期福利的社会保险作用。尽管非就业持续时间急剧下降,但我们也记录了再就业工资的显著下降,这与工人保留工资的减少和有限的持续时间依赖一致。异质性分析显示,相对年轻的工人被重新带回低质量的工作岗位,而年龄较大的工人则被挤出劳动力市场。通过观察失业期间的反应,我们提供了反对福利接受者前瞻性行为的标准假设的证据,因为我们没有发现在福利耗尽之前工人的行为有任何变化。总的来说,我们估计改革只给政府带来了适度的财政储蓄。

Old Tools for the New Economy? Counterfactual Causation in Foreclosure Assessment and Choice of Remedies on Data-driven Markets 新经济的旧工具?止赎评估中的反事实因果关系及数据驱动市场的补救选择
Pub Date : 2021-05-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3861967
Nora von Ingersleben‐Seip, Z. Georgieva
Under the recently proposed EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), ‘gatekeeper’ digital platforms have to comply with a number of ex-ante obligations, including narrow ex-ante data-sharing mandates that have been proposed as a viable solution to the phenomenon of data-driven market tipping. Digital platforms will also be subject to ex-post competition interventions, some of which are already ongoing. Given that both ex-ante regulatory and ex-post competition enforcement can address the issue of data-driven market tipping, there is a significant chance that thought from one policy domain will influence the other. This can be readily seen in the DMA, which heavily borrows from competition doctrine.

Such intellectual cross-fertilization needs to be approached with care, however. For one, the objectives and reasons of existence of the two domains are different. Second, data-driven markets are dynamic and always evolving, which means that rigorous ex-post effects analysis that does not simply fall back on ideas and practices from ex-ante regulation is of pivotal importance for i) correctly assessing anti-competitive behavior and ii) devising an appropriate ex-post remedy. This latter point can be seen with regard to data-sharing mandates, which will continue being important as possible ex-post competition remedies even after the adoption of the DMA with its ex-ante solution in that regard. However, a fine-grained, effects-driven assessment of the need for data sharing obligations in an ex-post enforcement setting will be vital, given new political and business-led data-sharing initiatives, novel techniques for generating synthetic data, and companies’ increasing skill at drawing powerful conclusions from small data sets.

In sum, authorities need to proceed carefully with regard to ex-post interventions in dynamic data-driven markets already governed by ex-ante obligations, in particular in two respects: i) establishing that abuse of dominance has taken place (especially given that ex-ante obligations will soon be in place) and ii) choosing the right remedies if such abuse is found. With regard to the former, we propose a ‘multiple counterfactual causation test’ for establishing anticompetitive foreclosure. With regard to the latter, we maintain that ex-post data-sharing mandates should only be imposed after careful proportionality analysis vis-à-vis the counterfactually identified abusive behavior; otherwise, they are unlikely to be effective remedies and other remedial actions need to be considered.
根据最近提出的欧盟数字市场法案(DMA),“看门人”数字平台必须遵守一系列事前义务,包括狭隘的事前数据共享授权,这被提议为数据驱动市场倾斜现象的可行解决方案。数字平台也将受到事后干预,其中一些已经在进行中。鉴于事前监管和事后竞争执法都可以解决数据驱动的市场倾斜问题,一个政策领域的想法很有可能影响另一个政策领域。这一点在DMA中可以很容易地看到,它大量借鉴了竞争原则。然而,这种智力上的杂交需要谨慎对待。首先,这两个领域存在的目的和原因是不同的。其次,数据驱动的市场是动态的,并且总是在不断发展,这意味着严格的事后效应分析,而不是简单地依赖于事前监管的想法和实践,对于i)正确评估反竞争行为和ii)设计适当的事后补救措施至关重要。后一点可以在数据共享任务方面看到,即使在采用DMA及其在这方面的事前解决办法之后,这仍将是尽可能重要的事后竞争补救措施。然而,考虑到新的政治和商业主导的数据共享举措、生成合成数据的新技术以及企业从小数据集得出有力结论的技能日益提高,对执法后环境中数据共享义务需求进行细致、效果驱动的评估将是至关重要的。总而言之,当局需要在已经受事前义务支配的动态数据驱动市场的事后干预方面谨慎行事,特别是在两个方面:1)确定滥用支配地位的情况已经发生(特别是考虑到事前义务即将到位);2)如果发现这种滥用行为,选择正确的补救措施。关于前者,我们提出了一个“多重反事实因果关系检验”来建立反竞争止赎。关于后者,我们认为,只有在对-à-vis反事实认定的滥用行为进行仔细的比例分析后,才能实施事后数据共享授权;否则,它们不太可能是有效的补救措施,需要考虑采取其他补救行动。

One Country, Two Systems: Evidence on Retirement Patterns in China 一国两制:中国退休模式的实证研究

This paper documents the patterns and correlates of retirement in China using a nationally representative survey, the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. After documenting stark differences in retirement ages between urban and rural residents, the paper shows that China's urban residents retire earlier than workers in many Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries and that rural residents continue to work until advanced ages. Differences in access to generous pensions and economic resources explain much of the urban-rural difference in retirement rates. The paper suggests that reducing disincentives created by China's Urban Employee Pension system, improving health status, providing childcare and elder care support may all facilitate longer working lives. Given spouse preferences for joint retirement, creating incentives for women to retire later may facilitate longer working lives for both men and women.
本文通过一项具有全国代表性的调查——中国健康与退休纵向研究,记录了中国退休的模式和相关因素。在记录了城乡居民退休年龄的明显差异后,该论文显示,在许多经合组织国家,中国城市居民比工人更早退休,而农村居民继续工作到高龄。在获得丰厚养老金和经济资源方面的差异,在很大程度上解释了城乡之间退休率的差异。该论文认为,减少中国城镇职工养老金制度造成的不利因素,改善健康状况,提供儿童保育和老年人护理支持,都可能有助于延长工作寿命。考虑到配偶对共同退休的偏好,鼓励女性晚退休可能有助于延长男性和女性的工作寿命。

High Cost Lenders and the Geographic Concentration of Foreclosures 高成本贷款人和丧失抵押品赎回权的地理集中
Pub Date : 2021-05-01 DOI: 10.3386/W28781
Stephen L. Ross, Yuan-Hsin Wang
We define high cost lenders as lenders that issue a disproportionate number of high cost loans. We develop a shift-share measure to capture the market representation of these high cost lenders in housing submarkets. After conditioning on housing submarket fixed effects, origination year fixed effects and trends over origination years based on housing submarket attributes, the magnitude of the estimated relationship is very stable as detailed controls for borrower attributes, credit score and loan terms are added. The relationship between the representation of high cost lenders and foreclosure is broad based across borrowers and types of loans, but is strongest for loans originated by high cost lenders whether or not the loans themselves are high cost. We investigate three potential mechanisms: reverse causality where high cost lenders respond to an increase in demand from higher risk borrowers, the types of mortgages issued when high cost lenders increase their market presence, and the behavior of loan servicers when a cohort of loans contains a large number of loans issued by high cost lenders. While we do not have direct information on loan servicers, our evidence points towards foreclosure decisions during the crisis as the primary mechanism behind our findings.
我们将高成本贷方定义为发放不成比例的高成本贷款的贷方。我们开发了一个转移份额措施,以捕捉这些高成本贷款人在住房子市场的市场代表性。在对基于住房子市场属性的住房子市场固定效应、发起年份固定效应和发起年份趋势进行调节后,由于加入了对借款人属性、信用评分和贷款期限的详细控制,估计关系的大小非常稳定。高成本贷款机构的代表性和止赎之间的关系在借款人和贷款类型上都很广泛,但对于高成本贷款机构发起的贷款来说,无论贷款本身是否高成本,这种关系都是最强的。我们研究了三种潜在的机制:反向因果关系,即高成本贷款人对高风险借款人需求增加的反应;当高成本贷款人增加其市场存在时发放的抵押贷款类型;当一组贷款包含大量高成本贷款人发放的贷款时,贷款服务商的行为。虽然我们没有关于贷款服务商的直接信息,但我们的证据表明,危机期间的止赎决定是我们研究结果背后的主要机制。

Bauer and Beyond: The Changing Interpretation of Article 8 of Directive 2008/94/Ec (Protection of Employees’ Pension Rights on Employer Insolvency) and Its Impact on Member State Pension Protection Arrangements on Employer Insolvency’ 《2008/94/Ec指令(雇主破产时雇员养老金权利保护)第8条的不断变化的解释及其对成员国雇主破产时养老金保护安排的影响》

This Working Paper looks at the CJEU’s changing interpretation of Article 8 of Directive 2008/94/EC (protecting pension rights on employer insolvency) over the last 14 years through its decisions in Robins, Hogan, Webb-Sämann, Hampshire and Bauer. The CJEU both decided that pension protection arrangements did not satisfy the Article 8 requirements and imposed a number of underpins as to the level of protection required. In Bauer the CJEU introduced an additional underpin of a 100% minimum protection level up to the Eurostat at-risk-of-poverty threshold (€14,767 pa after income tax in the Netherlands (for 2019) and £11,142 pa after income tax in the UK (for 2018)).
本工作文件着眼于欧洲法院在过去14年中对指令2008/94/EC(保护雇主破产时的养老金权利)第8条的不断变化的解释,通过其在罗宾斯,霍根,Webb-Sämann,汉普郡和鲍尔的决定。欧洲法院裁定养恤金保护安排不符合第8条的要求,并对所需的保护水平规定了若干基础。在鲍尔案中,欧洲法院引入了100%最低保护水平的额外基础,达到欧盟统计局的贫困风险门槛(荷兰(2019年)和英国(2018年)分别为所得税后14,767英镑和11,142英镑)。

How Competitive Are Income Annuity Providers Over Time? 收入年金供应商的长期竞争力如何?
Pub Date : 2021-04-19 DOI: 10.1111/RMIR.12182
David Blanchett, Michael S. Finke, Branislav Nikolic
The 2019 SECURE Act provides safe harbor protections to employers who evaluate the costs of providing guaranteed income including gathering information on competing providers. Annuities can be more difficult to evaluate than mutual funds because annuity expenses can be opaque, financial strength matters, and insurer competitiveness can change over time. We find significant variation in the payout rates across providers over time. While the payout rankings of annuity companies (e.g., best to worst) are fairly sticky over the short-term, over the full period of the analysis the correlation declines effectively to zero (versus the initial rankings). This suggests individuals or institutions who choose a single annuity provider based on income payout should revisit the decision regularly to ensure the quotes are still competitive. Companies for which immediate annuities are a higher fraction of total sales tend to rank higher and remain so more persistently over time.
2019年的《安全法案》为评估提供保证收入成本的雇主提供安全港保护,包括收集竞争供应商的信息。年金可能比共同基金更难评估,因为年金费用可能不透明,财务实力很重要,而且保险公司的竞争力可能随着时间而变化。我们发现,随着时间的推移,不同提供商的支付率存在显著差异。虽然年金公司的支付排名(例如,从最好到最差)在短期内具有相当的粘性,但在整个分析期间,相关性实际上下降到零(与最初的排名相比)。这表明,根据收入支付选择单一年金提供商的个人或机构应定期重新考虑决定,以确保报价仍具有竞争力。即时年金在总销售额中所占比例较高的公司往往排名较高,而且随着时间的推移,这种排名会持续更长时间。

How to Improve Institutional Fund Performance 如何提高机构基金业绩
Pub Date : 2021-03-31 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3816608
Richard M. Ennis
Public employee pension funds, endowment funds and other nonprofit institutional investors in the U.S. have a serious performance problem. They have underperformed properly-constructed, passively-investable benchmarks by a wide margin since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008, some 13 years ago. Moreover, they have underperformed with remarkable consistency. The poor performance is no accident. Rather, it is structural in nature. Improving performance will require that fund managers make significant changes in their approach to asset management. Institutional investors across the board would be better off investing purely passively. Evidence for this is compelling. Institutions determined to outperform market benchmarks should (1) simplify their approach to asset allocation, (2) use far fewer managers and (3) significantly reduce cost.
美国的公共雇员养老基金、捐赠基金和其他非营利机构投资者存在严重的业绩问题。自大约13年前的2008年全球金融危机(GFC)以来,它们的表现远远落后于结构合理、可被动投资的基准。此外,他们表现不佳的情况非常稳定。表现不佳并非偶然。相反,它本质上是结构性的。提高业绩将要求基金经理在资产管理方法上做出重大改变。所有机构投资者如果单纯被动投资,收益会更好。这方面的证据令人信服。决心跑赢市场基准的机构应该:(1)简化他们的资产配置方法,(2)使用更少的经理,(3)大幅降低成本。
