We studied the impact of distributing nutritional information in the conditional cash transfer program on intrahousehold food expenditure allocation in the Philippines. Using the original randomized controlled trials dataset, which was collected 2 months after a social experiment to teach nutrition information, we found that providing nutrition information improved mothers’ nutrition knowledge, but no significant positive effects were found on the Engel coefficient. However, the provision of information to mothers with greater intrahousehold decision-making power tends to increase the consumption ratio of food. These results imply that not only raising awareness through information provision, but also female leadership and strong decision-making power within the household play an essential role in changing household budget allocations and improving child welfare.
我们研究了在有条件现金转移计划中分发营养信息对菲律宾家庭内部食品支出分配的影响。使用最初的随机对照试验数据集,该数据集是在一项教授营养信息的社会实验后2个月收集的,我们发现提供营养信息可以提高母亲的营养知识,但对恩格尔系数没有发现显著的积极影响。然而,向家庭内部决策权较大的母亲提供信息往往会提高食品的消费比例。这些结果表明,不仅通过提供信息来提高人们的认识,而且女性的领导能力和强大的家庭决策权在改变家庭预算分配和改善儿童福利方面也发挥着重要作用。

Remittance inflows are now the largest source of external financing to developing countries, but little research has yet firmly established the effect of remittances on household welfare. We investigate the case of Tajikistan, one of the most heavily remittance-dependent countries in the world. We use a panel dataset collected nationwide and employ an instrumental variable estimation to confirm a positive relationship between receiving remittances and household welfare after correcting for endogeneity. Moreover, we find that the effect of remittances on household spending is more pronounced in households whose head is male, older, and/or less educated. Then, we combine our estimated coefficients with the projected decline of remittance inflows as a result of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and show the pandemic’s adverse effect on household spending per capita.
汇款流入现在是发展中国家最大的外部资金来源,但很少有研究能确定汇款对家庭福利的影响。我们调查塔吉克斯坦的情况,塔吉克斯坦是世界上最严重依赖汇款的国家之一。我们使用全国范围内收集的面板数据集,并采用工具变量估计,在校正内生性后,确认汇款接收与家庭福利之间的正关系。此外,我们发现汇款对家庭支出的影响在户主为男性、年龄较大和/或受教育程度较低的家庭中更为明显。然后,我们将我们的估计系数与冠状病毒疾病(新冠肺炎)爆发导致的汇款流入的预计下降相结合,显示了疫情对人均家庭支出的不利影响。

Trends in Employment and Wages of Female and Male Workers in India: A Task-Content-of-Occupations Approach 印度男女工人的就业和工资趋势:一种任务-职业内容方法

This paper uses the task-content-of-occupations framework to analyze trends in employment and wages of female and male workers in the Indian labor market from 1994 to 2017. Workers are classified into four main occupational categories: nonroutine cognitive, routine cognitive, nonroutine manual, and routine manual. Decomposing the changes in employment shares into between-industry changes and within-industry changes across occupational categories reveals that within-industry employment changes have increasingly played an important role, suggesting the growing importance of using the task-content framework to analyze labor market trends. The biggest increase in employment shares is for nonroutine cognitive occupations for both female and male workers. The wage analysis reveals that, on average, the gender wage gap has been lowest in routine cognitive occupations for most of the period of analysis. However, the analysis finds no consistent, significant changes in wages based on occupational specialization during the period of analysis.
本文使用职业任务内容框架分析了1994年至2017年印度劳动力市场中女性和男性工人的就业和工资趋势。工人分为四大职业类别:非常规认知、常规认知、非常规手册和常规手册。将就业份额的变化分解为行业间变化和跨职业类别的行业内变化表明,行业内就业变化越来越发挥着重要作用,这表明使用任务内容框架分析劳动力市场趋势的重要性越来越大。就业份额增长最大的是女性和男性的非常规认知职业。工资分析显示,平均而言,在分析的大部分时间里,常规认知职业的性别工资差距最低。然而,分析发现,在分析期间,基于职业专业化的工资没有发生一致的重大变化。

The Social Costs of Success: The Impact of World Trade Organization Rules on Insulin Prices in Bangladesh upon Graduation from Least Developed Country Status 成功的社会成本:世界贸易组织规则对孟加拉国脱离最不发达国家地位后胰岛素价格的影响

In 2021, the United Nations Committee on Development Policy adopted a resolution that Bangladesh would graduate from least developed country (LDC) status after a period of 5 years. This means that in 2026 Bangladesh would have to forego its exemption to intellectual property (IP) provisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Bangladesh has taken advantage of the policy space it was granted under the LDC exemption to build a generic medicines industry that not only serves Bangladesh but also other LDCs. We examine how IP provisions in the WTO will impact the price of insulin in Bangladesh and the subsequent impacts on welfare and poverty. We find that LDC graduation will trigger a significant jump in insulin prices that could cause about a 15% decline in the welfare of households in Bangladesh with one or more members living with diabetes, increasing the poverty rate of such households unless policy adjustments are carried out.
2021年,联合国发展政策委员会通过了一项决议,孟加拉国将在5年后脱离最不发达国家地位。这意味着,到2026年,孟加拉国将不得不放弃对世界贸易组织(WTO)知识产权条款的豁免。孟加拉国利用其在最不发达国家豁免下获得的政策空间,建立了一个不仅为孟加拉国服务,也为其他最不发达发展中国家服务的仿制药行业。我们研究了世贸组织的知识产权条款将如何影响孟加拉国的胰岛素价格,以及随后对福利和贫困的影响。我们发现,最不发达国家的毕业将引发胰岛素价格的大幅上涨,这可能导致孟加拉国有一名或多名糖尿病患者的家庭福利下降约15%,增加这些家庭的贫困率,除非进行政策调整。

Cognitive Functioning among Older Adults in Japan and Other Selected Asian Countries: In Search of a Better Way to Remeasure Population Aging 日本和其他选定的亚洲国家老年人的认知功能:寻找一种更好的方法来重新衡量人口老龄化

Japan is the oldest society in the world. It has the highest proportion of the population aged 65 and over, a demographic indicator that has been used by demographers for more than a century. One of the main objectives of this study is to apply a new indicator—the cognition-adjusted dependency ratio (CADR)—to remeasure the level of population aging from an innovative point of view. To compute this new index, we apply the mean age-group-specific immediate recall scores for Japan and four other Asian countries, and we compare the results with those derived from the United States and various developed nations in Europe. Our analysis shows that Japan’s pattern and level of age-related decline in cognitive functioning are highly comparable to those of many other developed nations, particularly in Continental Europe. Among the other Asian countries, Malaysia shows a pattern of change similar to countries in Southern Europe, although Malaysia has slightly lower scores than Southern Europe in all age groups. More importantly, these comparative results based on CADR are astonishingly different from the corresponding results obtained from conventional old-age dependency ratios. The Japanese case is the most salient example.
日本是世界上最古老的社会。它65岁及以上的人口比例最高,这是一个多世纪以来人口统计学家使用的人口指标。本研究的主要目的之一是运用认知调整抚养比(CADR)这一新的指标,从创新的角度重新衡量人口老龄化水平。为了计算这个新指数,我们应用了日本和其他四个亚洲国家特定年龄组的平均即时回忆分数,并将结果与美国和欧洲各个发达国家的结果进行了比较。我们的分析表明,日本与年龄相关的认知功能衰退的模式和水平与许多其他发达国家,特别是欧洲大陆的发达国家非常相似。在其他亚洲国家中,马来西亚表现出与南欧国家类似的变化模式,尽管马来西亚在所有年龄组的得分都略低于南欧。更重要的是,这些基于CADR的比较结果与传统的老年抚养比得出的相应结果有着惊人的不同。日本的情况就是最突出的例子。

Disability and Intrahousehold Investment Decisions in Education: Empirical Evidence from Bangladesh 残疾与家庭教育投资决策:来自孟加拉国的经验证据

Investment disparity in the education of persons with disabilities may be larger on the part of parents, in part resulting from predicted lower returns to the investment due to mistaken beliefs about their capabilities, or actual lower returns due to barriers in the labor market. Using a nationally representative dataset from Bangladesh and utilizing the framework of the Engel curve, we investigate intrahousehold investment decisions in education between children with and without disabilities. The results of the hurdle model show the existence of disability bias in enrollment decisions, whereas individual-level analysis suggests that bias exists on educational expenditure after children with disabilities enroll in school. Additionally, though we observe a lower level of bargaining power among household heads on educational investments for their children with disabilities, interaction effects suggest the importance of greater income stability and maternal education status being instrumental to improving the education of persons with disabilities.
父母在残疾人教育方面的投资差距可能更大,部分原因是对他们能力的错误信念导致投资回报率下降,或者劳动力市场障碍导致实际回报率下降。利用孟加拉国具有全国代表性的数据集,并利用恩格尔曲线的框架,我们调查了残疾儿童和非残疾儿童在教育方面的家庭内部投资决策。障碍模型的结果表明,在入学决策中存在残疾偏见,而个人层面的分析表明,残疾儿童入学后的教育支出存在偏见。此外,尽管我们观察到户主在残疾儿童教育投资方面的议价能力较低,但互动效应表明,提高收入稳定性和母亲教育地位对改善残疾人教育至关重要。

A Cross-Country Comparison of Old-Age Financial Readiness in Asian Countries versus the United States: The Case of Japan and the Republic of Korea 亚洲国家与美国老年金融准备的跨国比较:以日本和韩国为例

We pursue a cross-country comparison of relative financial readiness of older households in Japan and the Republic of Korea relative to the United States. Our comparative analysis, using macro-level and harmonized longitudinal household financial data, covers the principal financial channels of old-age support: public and private pension plans, family support, and self-management of private financial portfolios. We find that while all three countries have similar public pension systems, older Americans benefit from more developed and better-funded public and private pension systems, as well as individual management of risky financial portfolios. We find that educational and health attainments of household heads and household wealth lead to a greater tendency to hold and manage risky assets. Our decomposition analysis also shows that the gap in stock ownership in Asian countries relative to the United States can be attributed to lower levels of development in financial and pension markets. However, these gaps have been shrinking more recently.
我们对日本和韩国老年家庭相对于美国的财务准备情况进行了跨国比较。我们使用宏观层面和统一的纵向家庭财务数据进行比较分析,涵盖了养老支持的主要财务渠道:公共和私人养老金计划、家庭支持和私人金融投资组合的自我管理。我们发现,虽然这三个国家都有类似的公共养老金体系,但美国老年人受益于更发达、资金更充足的公共和私人养老金体系,以及风险金融投资组合的个人管理。我们发现,户主的教育和健康成就以及家庭财富导致持有和管理风险资产的更大倾向。我们的分解分析还表明,亚洲国家相对于美国的股票所有权差距可以归因于金融和养老金市场的较低发展水平。然而,这些差距最近一直在缩小。

Asia is home to the most rapidly aging populations in the world. This study focuses on two countries in Asia that are advanced in terms of their demographic transition: the Republic of Korea and Singapore. We developed a demographic and economic state-transition microsimulation model based on the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging and the Singapore Chinese Health Study. The model was employed to compare projections of functional status and disability among future cohorts of older adults, including disparities in disability prevalence by educational attainment. The model also projects increasing disparities in the prevalence of activities-of-daily-living disability and other chronic diseases between those with low and high educational attainment. Despite overall increases in educational attainment, all elderly, including those with a college degree, experience an increased burden of functional disability and chronic diseases because of survival to older ages. These increases have significant economic and social implications, including increased medical and long-term care expenditures, and an increased caregiver burden.
亚洲是世界上人口老龄化最快的地区。这项研究的重点是在人口结构转型方面处于领先地位的两个亚洲国家:大韩民国和新加坡。我们在韩国老龄化纵向研究和新加坡华人健康研究的基础上开发了一个人口和经济状态转变微观模拟模型。该模型用于比较未来老年人群体的功能状态和残疾预测,包括受教育程度的残疾患病率差异。该模型还预测,受教育程度低和受教育程度高的人在日常生活残疾和其他慢性病活动的流行率方面的差距越来越大。尽管受教育程度总体上有所提高,但所有老年人,包括拥有大学学位的老年人,由于能活到老年,功能残疾和慢性病的负担都有所增加。这些增长具有重大的经济和社会影响,包括医疗和长期护理支出的增加,以及护理人员负担的增加。

relative to Singapore ’ s, the differences in the trends of disability levels and disparities disappear. These results indicate that aging has a distinct and independent positive in fl uence on future disability. The results imply that continuous aging will necessitate greater medical and caregiving expenditure on older-age groups in the population.
与新加坡相比,残疾水平和差异趋势的差异消失了。这些结果表明,衰老对未来的残疾有着明显而独立的积极影响。研究结果表明,持续的老龄化将需要增加人口中老年群体的医疗和护理支出。

Large allocations for fuel subsidies have long put the Government of Malaysia’s budget under great strain. Using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, this paper evaluates the impact of fuel subsidy rationalization on sectoral output and employment. Employment is classified into occupational categories and skill levels. Fuel subsidies were measured using the disaggregation of prices for petrol, diesel, and other fuel products. Findings show that removing fuel subsidies would hit economic performance through high input costs, specifically for industries closely attached to the petroleum refinery sector. The manufacturing sector has the largest reduction in output and employment. Nevertheless, high- and medium-skilled labor forces experience increased demand. To increase economic efficiency, the savings from the removal of fuel subsidies should be put toward policies such as sales tax reduction. This study provides useful information for policy makers in evaluating or updating current subsidy policies to reduce economic losses.
长期以来,大量的燃料补贴拨款使马来西亚政府的预算面临巨大压力。本文使用可计算一般均衡(CGE)模型,评估了燃料补贴合理化对部门产出和就业的影响。就业分为职业类别和技能水平。燃料补贴是通过对汽油、柴油和其他燃料产品的价格进行分解来衡量的。调查结果显示,取消燃料补贴将通过高投入成本影响经济表现,特别是对与炼油行业密切相关的行业。制造业的产出和就业减少幅度最大。然而,高技能和中等技能劳动力的需求增加了。为了提高经济效率,取消燃料补贴所节省的资金应该用于销售税减免等政策。这项研究为政策制定者评估或更新现行补贴政策以减少经济损失提供了有用的信息。
