Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has placed the United States of America (U.S.) under enormous strain, leaving it with higher deaths during the first wave of the outbreak (per 100,000 of population) compared to all other advanced economies. In addition to the elderly, Minorities across all age groups in the U.S. are amongst those hardest hit by the virus. The disparate impact has been attributed to various enduring problems related to the social determinants of health adversely affecting Minorities. The present study explores the relationship between the pandemic, public policy, and race/ethnicity-based vulnerability, as the three have fused to disproportionately impact Minorities. We ask, does greater stringency of state measures aimed at controlling the spread of the virus lead to improved mortality rates for Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites equally? And, if not, to what extent does the role of pre-existing and COVID-specific vulnerability play in determining outcomes observed between groups? To answer these questions, we rely on a mix of correlational and regression analyses. Our findings point to the highly divergent impact of public policy and vulnerability on COVID-19 mortality. This suggests that state-led policy to address both the short-term and long-term consequences of the pandemic needs to account for the particular nature of vulnerability affecting Minorities in the U.S.
摘要新冠肺炎大流行使美利坚合众国(美国)面临巨大压力,使其在第一波疫情期间的死亡人数(每10万人口)高于所有其他发达经济体。除了老年人,美国所有年龄段的少数民族都是受病毒影响最严重的人群之一。不同的影响被归因于与健康的社会决定因素有关的各种持久问题,这些问题对少数群体产生了不利影响。本研究探讨了疫情、公共政策和基于种族/族裔的脆弱性之间的关系,因为这三者融合在一起,对少数群体产生了不成比例的影响。我们要问,旨在控制病毒传播的州措施更加严格,是否会同样提高黑人、西班牙裔和白人的死亡率?如果没有,预先存在的和新冠肺炎特定的脆弱性在多大程度上决定了组间观察到的结果?为了回答这些问题,我们采用了相关分析和回归分析相结合的方法。我们的研究结果指出,公共政策和脆弱性对新冠肺炎死亡率的影响存在很大差异。这表明,国家领导的应对疫情短期和长期后果的政策需要考虑到影响美国少数民族的脆弱性的特殊性质。

Over-Mobilization, Poor Integration of Care Groups: The French Hospital System in the Face of the Pandemic 过度动员,护理团体整合不良:面对大流行的法国医院系统

Abstract In France, the health system is characterized by both a centralizing State and strong market pressures (liberal medicine, pharmaceutical industries, etc.). Within the framework of budget reduction policies, this confrontation has led to savings on the productive wage bill within the public hospital rather than on medical fees or industrial profits, resulting in the elimination of beds and a reduction in the number of permanent staff, while administrative employment has increased for management staff. In the face of the pandemic, the mobilization of health care workers was able to demonstrate its effectiveness, compensating for the deficits in equipment and organization from above. Mutual aid is highly contextualized, based on local logics and interaction configurations. If mutual aid prevailed overall, exhaustion was spreading among the troops before the second wave and then the third wave. At the same time, the management did not involve the healthcare teams more in the decisions, contrary to certain participative attempts in the past. The management team, which was not involved in the crisis, tended to reassert its presence as if nothing had happened, even though a distinction had to be made between a type of management that was close to the patients and a type of management that was in control and enforced the hierarchy.
在法国,卫生系统的特点是中央集权的国家和强大的市场压力(自由医学,制药工业等)。在削减预算政策的框架内,这种对抗导致节省了公立医院的生产性工资账单,而不是医疗费用或工业利润,从而减少了床位,减少了长期工作人员的人数,同时增加了管理人员的行政就业。面对大流行病,动员保健工作者能够证明其有效性,弥补了设备和组织方面的不足。互助是高度情境化的,基于本地逻辑和交互配置。如果说互助在总体上占了上风,那么在第二波和第三波之前,部队的疲惫感正在蔓延。与此同时,管理层并没有让医疗团队更多地参与决策,这与过去某些参与性的尝试相反。没有卷入危机的管理团队倾向于重申自己的存在,就好像什么都没发生过一样,尽管必须区分一种管理方式是接近病人的,另一种管理方式是控制并执行等级制度的。

Abstract This review highlights the strengths and weaknesses of three recently published useful resources for teaching economics from a pluralist and/or heterodox perspective. The introduction provides an overview of other helpful (text-)books for this purpose. Based on a historical approach, Geoffrey Schneider’s book describes and differentiates the characteristics of a broad range of economic ideas and systems. The core chapters on Smith, Marx, Veblen, and Keynes (+ Hayek) provide a brilliant concise, very well written and easily accessible overview of the plurality of major economic ideas in their historical evolution. Moreover, this explanation is shown as intricately entwined with the epochal eventful history of economic systems.
摘要这篇综述从多元和/或异端的角度强调了最近出版的三本有用的经济学教学资源的优势和劣势。引言概述了其他有用的(文本)书籍。杰弗里·施奈德的书以历史方法为基础,描述并区分了广泛的经济思想和制度的特征。关于史密斯、马克思、维布伦和凯恩斯(+哈耶克)的核心章节对其历史演变中的多种主要经济思想进行了精辟、简洁、易于理解的概述。此外,这种解释被显示为与经济系统划时代的多事之秋交织在一起。

Abstract This essay is a review essay which discusses four books on the topic on income inequality and whether it constitutes a crisis. Although all four come to the topic from different perspectives, the one point of agreement is that it is capitalism which is in crisis. Consequently, we are forced to rethink the relationship between society and the state.

Abstract

This paper offers an overview of defining traits of national health care systems, and remarks on how to evaluate their performance in the current COVID-19 crisis. Beyond a description of the different health care provision schemes, we offer a critical review of some of the key considerations to account for in evaluating the performance of national health care systems during the pandemic. The text is organized in three parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the classification of international health care systems, and the role of the public sector in health care provision. These features condition the varying approaches taken to the pandemic and their relative effectiveness. Exploration of the particularities of the decentralized Spanish system concludes the part. Part 2 presents a snapshot of the financial situation of the systems before the impact of the pandemic. Part 3 reviews a set of factors that ought to be considered in performance evaluations of the COVID-19 response, with emphasis on the Spanish case as an illustrative example. These factors include caution in evaluating outcomes (cases, deaths), and the importance of accounting for the political and baseline demographic and socioeconomic factors that have shaped the severity of the pandemic in each country, among others.

摘要本文概述了国家卫生保健系统特征的定义,并对如何评估其在当前COVID-19危机中的表现进行了评论。除了描述不同的卫生保健提供方案之外,我们还对大流行期间评估国家卫生保健系统绩效时需要考虑的一些关键因素进行了批判性审查。全文由三部分组成。第1部分概述了国际卫生保健系统的分类,以及公共部门在卫生保健提供中的作用。这些特点决定了对这一流行病采取的不同方法及其相对有效性。对西班牙分权制度特殊性的探讨是本部分的结束语。第2部分简要介绍了大流行影响之前各系统的财务状况。第3部分审查了在COVID-19应对工作绩效评估中应考虑的一组因素,重点以西班牙为例进行说明。这些因素包括评估结果(病例、死亡)时的谨慎态度,以及考虑政治和基线人口和社会经济因素的重要性,这些因素决定了每个国家大流行的严重程度。

Does Financial Development Really Matter for Poverty Reduction in Africa? 金融发展对非洲的减贫真的重要吗?

Abstract This paper revisits the financial development–poverty nexus. The study builds a robust measure of financial development that captures the state of financial development in Africa. We adopt the measure for examining the relationship between 1996 and 2015. Our results agree with a priori expectation. Overall, we find a reducing effect of financial development on absolute poverty but this does not affect relative poverty. Private credit has a poverty-reducing effect; however, total financial development and financial inclusion do not affect poverty in African countries. Also, stability and efficiency increase poverty levels. Considering the low level of financial inclusion in the continent, it is likely that financial development will reduce poverty in the continent if the poor can access credits. Our results should be interpreted with caution, the commercial banking model may not adequately address poverty in Africa. Hence, much should not be expected in policy circles from financial development for poverty reduction in the present state of financial development in Africa.
摘要本文重新审视了金融发展与贫困之间的关系。这项研究建立了一个强有力的金融发展指标,反映了非洲的金融发展状况。我们采取这项措施来审查1996年至2015年之间的关系。我们的结果与先验预期一致。总体而言,我们发现金融发展对绝对贫困有减少作用,但这并不影响相对贫困。私人信贷具有减贫作用;然而,全面的金融发展和金融包容性不会影响非洲国家的贫困。此外,稳定和效率会增加贫困水平。考虑到非洲大陆的金融包容性水平较低,如果穷人能够获得信贷,金融发展很可能会减少非洲大陆的贫困。我们的结果应该谨慎解读,商业银行模式可能无法充分解决非洲的贫困问题。因此,在非洲目前的金融发展状况下,政策界对金融发展减贫不应抱有太大期望。

Abstract People’s perceptions about the gender gap might influence their attitudes about the need for policy interventions to reduce it. How accurate are these perceptions? Which gender has a better understanding about the actual gender gap? Using a survey-based experiment with a representative sample of 538 Israelis, we found a significant gap between perceptions and reality with regard to wages, attributes of employment, seniority within the company and education. The misperceptions were significantly higher among males. We also found that in general, both men and women underestimated the contribution of the latter to the workforce and their level of education. Similarly, they both overestimated the percentage of women in positions such as CEOs and company chairs. The results suggest the need to increase the awareness of the gender gap, particularly among men. Such awareness is the first step in narrowing the gender gap.
摘要人们对性别差距的看法可能会影响他们对减少性别差距的政策干预必要性的态度。这些看法的准确性如何?哪个性别更了解实际的性别差距?通过对538名以色列人的代表性样本进行调查实验,我们发现在工资、就业属性、公司资历和教育方面,人们的看法与现实之间存在显著差距。男性的误解明显更高。我们还发现,总体而言,男性和女性都低估了后者对劳动力的贡献及其教育水平。同样,他们都高估了担任首席执行官和公司董事长等职位的女性比例。研究结果表明,有必要提高对性别差距的认识,特别是在男性中。这种认识是缩小性别差距的第一步。

Household Stockpiling in Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: Empirical Evidence from Vietnam 应对Covid-19大流行的家庭储备:来自越南的经验证据
IF 1 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-03-26 DOI: 10.1080/07360932.2021.1904431

Abstract The current Covid-19 pandemic has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths globally. As a consequence, a myriad of concomitant economic and social activities has been frozen. Many countries have had to enforce border blockages, travel restrictions and quarantine. The pandemic has changed consumers’ attitudes significantly and driven individuals and households to the state of panic buying. This paper examines the household stockpiling in Vietnam in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the data across the country. The empirical results show that householders’ education and household sizes are positively associated with the propensity that a household stocks up. However, the likelihood of a family stockpiling is lowered when members receive information about the pandemic from formal sources. There are also notable differences among the essential items being stockpiled by different households. Specifically, households living in urban areas or near (super)markets are more inclined to stock up food than other goods. By contrast, households with members working as doctors tend to spend a large portion of their stockpiling budget on medication.
当前新冠肺炎大流行已在全球造成数十万人死亡。结果,伴随而来的无数经济和社会活动被冻结。许多国家不得不实施边境封锁、旅行限制和隔离。大流行极大地改变了消费者的态度,使个人和家庭陷入恐慌性购买的状态。本文考察了越南为应对Covid-19大流行而进行的家庭储备。在全国范围内使用自我管理的问卷来收集数据。实证结果表明,户主的受教育程度和家庭规模与家庭存量倾向呈正相关。然而,当成员从正式来源获得有关大流行的信息时,家庭储备的可能性就会降低。不同家庭的必需品储备也存在显著差异。具体来说,生活在城市地区或超市附近的家庭更倾向于囤积食品,而不是其他商品。相比之下,有医生成员的家庭往往会把很大一部分储备预算花在药品上。

As a consequence, a myriad of concomitant economic and social activities has been frozen. Many countries have had to enforce border blockages, travel restrictions and quarantine. The pandemic has changed consumers’ attitudes significantly and driven individuals and households to the state of panic buying. This paper examines the household stockpiling in Vietnam in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the data across the country. The empirical results show that householders’ education and household sizes are positively associated with the propensity that a household stocks up. However, the likelihood of a family stockpiling is lowered when members receive information about the pandemic from formal sources. There are also notable differences among the essential items being stockpiled by different households. Specifically, households living in urban areas or near (super)markets are more inclined to stock up food than other goods. By contrast, households with members working as doctors tend to spend a large portion of their stockpiling budget on medication.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07360932.2021.1904431","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41626430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract This work analyses how ethnic background affects adolescents’ educational expectations in the UK in order to understand whether it shapes the behaviour of immigrant-origin girls differently from that of immigrant-origin boys as well as British girls and boys. We extend the literature by focusing on the role of religion as part of ethnic background since it may often be a traditionalist force hampering educational attainments. The empirical analysis relies on microdata drawn from the sixth wave of the Millennium Cohort Study. This is an ongoing longitudinal cohort study offering large-scale information on the lives of young people since when they were born-between 2000 and 2002-and on the families they are growing up in. Overall, the results show that most ethnic minorities have higher expectations than the British and that female adolescents have higher expectations than their male counterpart; gender differences do not depend on ethnicity and religion. Educational expectations are even higher among second generation teens and may reflect the optimism of immigrant parents.
摘要这项工作分析了种族背景如何影响英国青少年的教育期望,以了解种族背景是否与移民男孩以及英国女孩和男孩的行为不同。我们通过关注宗教作为种族背景一部分的作用来扩展文献,因为它往往是阻碍教育成就的传统力量。实证分析依赖于从第六波千年队列研究中提取的微观数据。这是一项正在进行的纵向队列研究,提供了关于年轻人自2000年至2002年出生以来的生活以及他们成长的家庭的大规模信息。总体而言,研究结果表明,大多数少数民族的期望值高于英国人,女性青少年的期望值也高于男性青少年;性别差异不取决于种族和宗教。第二代青少年对教育的期望甚至更高,这可能反映了移民父母的乐观态度。
