The Minimum Wage and Corporate Tax Planning 最低工资和企业税收筹划
Pub Date : 2019-08-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3447024
Xiaoxi Li, C. Lim, Yanping Xu
This paper investigates the impact of the minimum wage (MW) on corporate tax planning. By exploiting heterogeneity in the MW level across cities and over time in China, we find that increases in the MW are associated with greater tax planning by firms. Our results are robust to the consideration of a sample of contiguous firms in two adjacent cities subject to different MWs, a change specification and a difference-in-differences research design that exploits the enactment of the Labor Contract Law in 2008 as an exogenous shock to the MW. In cross-sectional analyses, we find that the positive impact of MWs on tax planning is more pronounced for firms with higher labor intensity, greater financial constraints, less product market power, and in regions with laxer enforcement. Our paper suggests that public policy decisions such as MWs impose significant, albeit likely unintended, externalities on corporate decisions.
本文研究了最低工资对企业税收筹划的影响。通过利用中国不同城市和不同时期的税收筹划水平的异质性,我们发现税收筹划的增加与企业税收筹划的增加有关。我们的研究结果对两个相邻城市的相邻企业样本具有稳健性,这些企业受到不同的劳动生产率、变化规范和差异中的差异研究设计(利用2008年《劳动合同法》的颁布作为对劳动生产率的外生冲击)的影响。在横断面分析中,我们发现,在劳动强度较高、财务约束较大、产品市场支配力较小以及执法力度较弱的地区,最低工资对税收筹划的积极影响更为明显。我们的论文表明,公共政策决策(如MWs)对企业决策施加了显著的(尽管可能是无意的)外部性。

The Entertaining Way to Behavioral Change: Fighting HIV with MTV 以娱乐的方式改变行为:用MTV对抗HIV
Pub Date : 2019-07-01 DOI: 10.1596/1813-9450-8998

This paper tests the effectiveness of an entertainment education television series, MTV Shuga, aimed at providing information and changing attitudes and behaviors related to HIV/AIDS. Using a simple model, the paper shows that “edutainment” can work through an individual or a social channel. This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted in urban Nigeria, where young viewers were exposed to MTV Shuga or a placebo television series. Among those exposed to MTV Shuga, the trial created additional variation in the social messages they received and the people with whom they watched the show. The study finds significant improvements in knowledge and attitudes toward HIV and risky sexual behavior. Treated subjects are twice as likely to get tested for HIV eight months after the intervention. The study also finds reductions in sexually transmitted diseases among women. These effects are stronger for viewers who reported being more involved with the narrative, consistent with the psychological underpinnings of edutainment. The trial’s experimental manipulations of the social norm component did not produce significantly different results from the main treatment. The individual effect of edutainment thus seems to have prevailed in the context of this study.
本文测试了娱乐教育电视连续剧MTV Shuga的有效性,旨在提供信息和改变与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的态度和行为。通过一个简单的模型,论文表明“寓教于乐”可以通过个人或社会渠道发挥作用。这项研究是在尼日利亚城市进行的一项随机对照试验,年轻的观众被暴露在MTV Shuga或安慰剂电视连续剧中。在那些接触MTV Shuga的人中,试验在他们收到的社交信息和与他们一起观看节目的人方面产生了额外的变化。该研究发现,人们对艾滋病毒和危险性行为的认识和态度有了显著改善。干预8个月后,接受治疗的受试者接受艾滋病毒检测的可能性增加了一倍。该研究还发现,女性中性传播疾病的发病率有所下降。这些影响对于那些更投入于叙事的观众来说更强,这与寓教于乐的心理基础相一致。该试验对社会规范成分的实验操作并没有产生与主要治疗显著不同的结果。因此,在这项研究中,寓教于乐的个人效应似乎占了上风。

Weaving Together Two Parallel Worlds of Education-Private Tuitions and Schools 两个平行的教育世界交织在一起——私立学费和学校
Pub Date : 2019-06-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3401503
Sonali Singh
In recent years, private tuition has emerged as a major force as results of both demand and market mechanisms. In terms of its nature, extent, and importance, it is in fact, comparable to the formal system. It is like a shadow of the formal system (Bray, 1999). I believe private tuition, which is running parallel to the main education system undoubtedly is playing an important yet unnoticed role, thus impacting the education market immensely. The essence of private tuition(PT) lies in helping a child who is lagging behind in the class by providing support in terms of more attention and additional hours. However, teachers are using it as an additional source of income even if it violates the rule of RTE. Drawing from a nationally representative data of ASER 2007 in addition to a qualitative field-based study in Bangalore, I have attempted to document the possible effects of private tuitions in High literacy and Low literacy states. Private tuitions in Low literacy states have a greater significant positive impact on learning outcomes of a child than in High literacy states. This study aims to propose a policy framework which will enable all the students who are lagging behind irrespective of their socio- economic status to access additional quality support. The paper also suggests a way to recruit more trained teachers in the education system in order to enhance students’ learning outcomes.
近年来,由于需求和市场机制的双重作用,民办学费已成为一股重要的力量。就其性质、范围和重要性而言,它实际上可与正式制度相媲美。它就像正式制度的影子(Bray, 1999)。我认为,与主流教育体系并行的私人学费无疑发挥着重要而又被忽视的作用,从而对教育市场产生了巨大的影响。私教(PT)的本质是通过提供更多的关注和额外的时间来帮助班上落后的孩子。然而,教师们却把它当作一种额外的收入来源,即使它违反了RTE规则。根据2007年ASER的全国代表性数据以及在班加罗尔进行的定性实地研究,我试图记录私人学费在高识字率和低识字率州的可能影响。在识字率低的州,私人补习对儿童学习成果的影响比在识字率高的州更显著。本研究旨在提出一个政策框架,使所有落后的学生,无论其社会经济地位如何,都能获得额外的优质支持。本文还提出了在教育系统中招募更多训练有素的教师以提高学生学习成果的方法。

Interrogation of a Bubble in the Indian Market 对印度市场泡沫的质疑
Pub Date : 2019-05-31 DOI: 10.34218/JOM.6.3.2019.008
Ganapathy G Gangadharan, S. N.
Emerging markets such as India provide the investors with returns far greater than those in developed markets; taking the average returns from the period 1995 to 2014 the returns are 4.714% to 3.276% of the developed market (US not included). Majority of emerging markets commenced joining with the capital market of the world, thus allowing huge inflow of capital which in turn paved the path for economic growth. Even though the emerging markets provide high returns these may also be an indication of a bubble formation. Detection of a bubble is a tedious task primarily due to the fundamental value of the security being uncertain, the randomness of the fundamentals of the market make detecting bubbles an arduous task. Ratios that foretold the financial crisis of 2007- Market Capitalization to GDP (Buffet Indicator), Price to Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio), Price to Book Value (PB Ratio), Tobin’s Q. Data is collected from the 1999-2000 from various Indian indices such as NIFTY 50, NIFTY NEXT 50, NIFTY BANK, NIFTY 500 S&P BSE SENSEX, S&P BSE 100. The paper utilizes the ratios mentioned above to detect and back track various bubble episodes in the Indian market; methodology used is the Philips et al (2015) right tailed unit test. The paper is also inclined to take steps to mitigate the effects of bubble by amending the financial policies and the monetary liquidity of the financial system.
印度等新兴市场为投资者提供的回报远高于发达市场;从1995年到2014年的平均回报率来看,发达市场(不包括美国)的回报率为4.714%至3.276%。大多数新兴市场开始加入世界资本市场,从而允许大量资本流入,从而为经济增长铺平了道路。尽管新兴市场提供了高回报,但这也可能是泡沫形成的迹象。检测泡沫是一项繁琐的任务,主要是因为证券的基本价值是不确定的,市场基本面的随机性使检测泡沫成为一项艰巨的任务。预测2007年金融危机的比率-市值占GDP(巴菲特指标),市盈率(PE比率),市净率(PB比率),托宾Q.数据收集自1999-2000年的各种印度指数,如NIFTY 50, NIFTY NEXT 50, NIFTY BANK, NIFTY 500 s&p BSE SENSEX, s&p BSE 100。本文利用上述比率来检测和回溯印度市场的各种泡沫事件;使用的方法是Philips等人(2015)右尾单元测试。本文还倾向于采取措施,通过修改金融政策和金融体系的货币流动性来减轻泡沫的影响。

Do Prize-Linked Incentives Promote Positive Financial Behavior? Evidence from a Debt Reduction Intervention 与奖金挂钩的激励措施能促进积极的金融行为吗?来自债务削减干预的证据
Pub Date : 2019-04-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3376157
Jeremy Burke
Prize-linked programs are becoming increasingly popular, yet little evidence exists regarding their efficacy. I conduct the first field experiment examining whether prize-linked incentives can be effective in promoting debt reduction by randomizing access among 6,907 borrowers in a debt management plan. I find strong take-up of the program and that takers were timelier with repayment and paid off more debt. However, intent-to-treat estimates are precise zeros. These results suggest that despite strong interest and positive correlations, prize-linked incentives may not modify behavior and may simply attract individuals who are ex-ante likely to engage in the target behavior.
与奖金挂钩的项目正变得越来越受欢迎,但几乎没有证据表明它们的有效性。我进行了第一次实地试验,通过在债务管理计划中随机分配6907名借款人的机会,检验与奖金挂钩的激励措施是否能有效促进减少债务。我发现人们对这个项目的接受程度很高,而且接受这个项目的人还款更及时,偿还的债务也更多。然而,意向治疗估计值是精确的零。这些结果表明,尽管有强烈的兴趣和正相关,与奖金相关的激励可能不会改变行为,而可能只是吸引那些事先可能从事目标行为的人。

Income Changes and Intimate Partner Violence: Evidence from Unconditional Cash Transfers in Kenya 收入变化与亲密伴侣暴力:来自肯尼亚无条件现金转移的证据

J. Haushofer, Charlotte Ringdal, J. Shapiro, Xiao Yu Wang
In a previous study, we found an improvement in female empowerment after randomized unconditional cash transfers in Kenya (Haushofer and Shapiro 2016). Here we report detailed impacts of these transfers on physical and sexual intimate partner violence, and construct a theory to explain them. Transfers to women averaging USD 709 reduced physical and sexual violence (-0:26, -0:22 standard deviations). Transfers to men reduced physical violence (-0:18 SD). We find spillovers: physical violence towards non-recipient women in treatment villages decreased (-0:16 SD). We show theoretically that transfers to both men and women are needed to understand why violence occurs. Our theory suggests that husbands use physical violence to extract resources, but dislike it, while sexual violence is not used to extract resources, but is pleasurable.
在之前的一项研究中,我们发现肯尼亚随机无条件现金转移后女性赋权有所改善(Haushofer and Shapiro 2016)。在这里,我们详细报告了这些转移对身体和性亲密伴侣暴力的影响,并构建了一个理论来解释它们。对妇女的平均汇款为709美元,减少了身体和性暴力(-0:26,-0:22标准差)。转移到男性身上减少了身体暴力(-0:18 SD)。我们发现了溢出效应:治疗村对未接受治疗妇女的身体暴力减少了(-0:16标准差)。我们从理论上表明,要理解暴力发生的原因,需要对男性和女性进行转移。我们的理论表明,丈夫使用身体暴力来获取资源,但不喜欢它,而性暴力不是用来获取资源,而是令人愉快的。

Menstruation Hygiene Management and Work Attendance in a Developing Country 一个发展中国家的月经卫生管理和出勤率
Pub Date : 2018-12-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3305598
Astrid Krenz, H. Strulik
Women in developing countries face challenges in terms of managing their menstrual hygiene. Oftentimes they do not possess the right means nor materials nor have access to the right facilities. Using a newly released dataset for Burkina Faso and propensity score matching, we provide for the first time evidence of a strong causal impact of advanced menstrual hygiene management on work attendance. Access to advanced menstrual hygiene management materials (disposable sanitary pads) reduces work absenteeism of women by about 21 percentage points. When we stratify the sample by religious affiliation, we find the treatment effect to be insignificant for Christian women and strong and significant for Muslim women.
发展中国家的妇女在经期卫生管理方面面临挑战。他们往往不具备适当的手段和材料,也无法获得适当的设施。使用最新发布的布基纳法索数据集和倾向评分匹配,我们首次提供了先进的月经卫生管理对出勤率的强烈因果影响的证据。获得先进的经期卫生管理材料(一次性卫生巾)可使妇女缺勤率降低约21个百分点。当我们按宗教信仰对样本进行分层时,我们发现对基督徒妇女的治疗效果不显著,对穆斯林妇女的治疗效果显著。

What determines the adoption of electronic-payment instruments? Do these instruments impact business outcomes, in particular access to finance? To shed light on these questions, we conducted a Randomized-Controlled-Trial with Kenyan SMEs. Our experiment released barriers to adopt a novel payment instrument. We uncover that the adoption barriers were binding for a large portion of the firms and that firms' financial transparency interacted with the decision to adopt. After sixteen months, treated businesses were more likely to feel safe and had more loans. The impact on loans was especially pronounced for smaller size establishments, which also experienced a reduction in sales-volatility.
是什么决定了电子支付工具的采用?这些工具是否会影响业务成果,尤其是融资渠道?为了阐明这些问题,我们对肯尼亚中小企业进行了一项随机对照试验。我们的实验释放了采用一种新型支付工具的障碍。我们发现,采用障碍对很大一部分公司具有约束力,公司的财务透明度与采用决策相互作用。16个月后,接受治疗的企业更有可能感到安全,获得更多贷款。对小型企业的贷款影响尤其明显,这些企业的销售波动性也有所下降。
