Abstract This study explores cooperation in the circular agency problem. In circular agency, an agent has weak power in the face of its principal. This research explores a cooperation mechanism in which three participants simultaneously have the identity of principal and agent, in order to illuminate the power struggle between the board of directors, the external shareholder, and the manager of a company. We use the equilibrium results to explain the phenomenon of cooperation between members of the enterprise in practice. Our results have implications for firm governance.
摘要本研究探讨循环代理问题中的合作问题。在循环代理中,代理人在其委托人面前具有较弱的权力。本研究探讨了三方同时具有委托和代理身份的合作机制,以阐明公司董事会、外部股东和经理之间的权力斗争。我们用均衡结果来解释实践中企业成员之间的合作现象。我们的研究结果对公司治理具有启示意义。

Abstract Data-driven health innovation may lead to develop targeted treatments using health data. We consider privacy-sensitive patients who may decide to share personal health data if compensated. Each patient does not internalize the impact of sharing data on drug innovation. We show that investment incentives in targeted treatments are too weak as long as such innovation has a public good nature so that patients can free ride on sharing health data. Then, privacy protection measures reducing data sharing risks can promote pharmaceutical R&D and social welfare.
数据驱动的健康创新可能导致利用健康数据开发有针对性的治疗方法。我们考虑隐私敏感的患者,如果得到补偿,他们可能决定分享个人健康数据。每位患者并没有内化共享数据对药物创新的影响。我们的研究表明,只要这种创新具有公益性质,让患者可以免费共享健康数据,那么针对针对性治疗的投资激励就太弱了。其次,降低数据共享风险的隐私保护措施可以促进制药研发和社会福利。

The Effect of Elevating the Supplemental Poverty Measure on Government Program Eligibility and Spending 提高贫困补助标准对政府项目资格和支出的影响

Abstract A recent National Academy of Sciences report recommends elevating the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) to the “nation’s headline poverty statistic.” I project how making the SPM the official poverty measure would affect eligibility for government assistance programs whose eligibility thresholds are tied to the official poverty line. Making the SPM the official poverty measure would increase the poverty line for a family of four by 20 percent in 2024. The eligibility threshold for a family of four would consequentially increase by $8320 for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), $8512 for Medicaid adults, and by larger amounts for Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidies, the National School Lunch Program, and Affordable Care Act premium subsidies (once temporarily relaxed eligibility rules are restored in 2026). Effects on eligibility thresholds would grow over time because the SPM thresholds grow faster over time than the current official thresholds. As a result of the higher eligibility thresholds, I estimate that in 2024 SNAP would cover 2.0 million additional households with spending rising by $2.6 billion, and that Medicaid would cover 1.3 million additional recipients with spending rising by $5.6 billion.
美国国家科学院(National Academy of Sciences)最近的一份报告建议将补充贫困指标(SPM)提升到“国家总体贫困统计数据”。我预测将SPM作为官方贫困衡量标准将如何影响资格门槛与官方贫困线挂钩的政府援助项目的资格。将SPM作为官方的贫困衡量标准,到2024年,一个四口之家的贫困线将提高20%。一个四口之家的资格门槛将因此增加补充营养援助计划(SNAP)的8320美元,医疗补助成人的8512美元,医疗保险D部分低收入补贴,国家学校午餐计划和平价医疗法案保费补贴(一旦暂时放宽的资格规则在2026年恢复)的数额更大。对资格门槛的影响将随着时间的推移而增加,因为SPM门槛随着时间的推移比目前的官方门槛增长得更快。由于资格门槛的提高,我估计到2024年,SNAP将额外覆盖200万户家庭,支出将增加26亿美元,医疗补助将额外覆盖130万户受助人,支出将增加56亿美元。

Estimating the Socio-Economic Status of the U.S. Capitol Insurrectionists 估计美国国会起义军的社会经济地位

Abstract The income of those who attacked the U.S. Congress on January 6, 2021 and were subsequently arrested is estimated for the first time using the annual per-capita income in the neighborhood of their residence as a proxy measure. Contrary to common wisdom, we find that two groups were conspicuously underrepresented from this subset of the insurrectionists ( N = 933): the utterly poor (whose estimated per- capita income was below $15 K), as well as those whose estimated annual per-capita income was above $50 K per annum. Fully 83.3 % of the arrestees resided in areas with a (five-year average) annual per capita income between $20 K and $50 K (in 2020 prices). This finding dovetails with the argument that the right-wing populist movement in the U.S. is driven largely by the struggling lower-middle class who have been left behind by the transition from an industrial to a knowledge economy. The public policy implications point to the amelioration of this distributional deficit.
2021年1月6日袭击美国国会并被逮捕的犯罪分子的收入首次以其居住地附近地区的年人均收入作为替代指标进行估算。与通常的看法相反,我们发现在这部分起义者(N = 933)中,有两个群体的代表性明显不足:赤贫人群(估计人均收入低于1.5万美元),以及估计年人均收入高于5万美元的人群。83.3%的被捕者居住在(五年平均)人均年收入在2万至5万美元(以2020年价格计算)之间的地区。这一发现与一种观点相吻合,即美国的右翼民粹主义运动主要是由在工业经济向知识经济转型过程中被抛在后面的挣扎中的中下层阶级推动的。公共政策的影响指向这种分配赤字的改善。

Abstract This paper uses administrative data and a soft skill index integrating seven personality traits to examine the relationship between soft skills and academic outcomes. I exploit the timing of soft skill assessment and study the interaction between soft and cognitive skills in education production. The results show that soft skills are positively associated with academic outcomes. Soft and cognitive skills are both substitutes and complements in education production. The complementarity between both skills is asymmetric. Soft skills and returns to cognitive skills exhibit a U-shaped relationship, while returns to soft skills fail to show such a relationship with cognitive skills. Time-use data suggest that soft skills may have a causal effect on academic achievements, and increased study time is a mechanism through which soft skills affect these outcomes. Soft skills can reduce inequality in academic outcomes due to differences in cognitive ability. Investment in non-cognitive skills can be quite rewarding.
摘要本文利用行政数据和综合7个人格特征的软技能指标,考察了软技能与学业成绩的关系。利用软技能评价的时机,研究软技能与认知技能在教育生产中的相互作用。结果表明,软技能与学业成绩呈正相关。软技能和认知技能在教育生产中既是相互替代的,又是相辅相成的。两种技能之间的互补性是不对称的。软技能与认知技能回报呈u型关系,而软技能回报与认知技能没有这种关系。时间使用数据表明,软技能可能对学业成绩有因果关系,而学习时间的增加是软技能影响这些结果的一种机制。软技能可以减少由于认知能力差异而导致的学业成绩不平等。在非认知技能上的投资是非常有益的。

Abstract Despite a growing literature investigating the effect of gender diversity of CEOs and firm performance, the answer is still unclear. This study estimates the effect of gender differences in ownership and Leadership (CEOs) on firm performance simultaneously. The paper exploits a unique data from more than 9000 Indian firms by using fixed effects and propensity score matching techniques. Findings reveal a positive significant effect of female CEOs on firm performance but no definite effect of female owners on firm performance. The effect is more prominent in progressive and high-sex ratio states in India. Third, the evidence suggests potential payoffs to firms that adopt gender-inclusive policies intended to increase the share of female CEOs in India. Results confirm no bias from unobservable covariates.
尽管越来越多的文献研究ceo性别多样性对公司绩效的影响,但答案仍然不清楚。本研究同时估计了所有权和领导层(ceo)的性别差异对公司绩效的影响。本文利用固定效应和倾向得分匹配技术,从9000多家印度公司中获得了独特的数据。研究发现,女性ceo对企业绩效有显著的正向影响,而女性所有者对企业绩效没有明确的影响。这种影响在印度进步和性别比例较高的邦更为突出。第三,有证据表明,采取旨在增加印度女性首席执行官比例的性别包容性政策的公司可能会获得回报。结果证实不可观测协变量没有偏倚。

Search and Matching in Political Corruption 政治腐败中的搜索与匹配

Abstract We develop a search and matching model to analyze the dynamics of the political corruption market. This model serves as a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of a set of anti-corruption policies. Contrary to expectations, conventional policies such as enhancing penalties or allocating greater resources to criminal investigations do not universally emerge as the most effective tools. For mitigating small-scale political corruption, the optimal strategy is to curtail corruption signaling, achieved, for instance, through enhancing transparency and competitiveness in the exchanges between entrepreneurs and politicians. For large-scale corruption, raising the costs of corruption signaling proves less effective as a deterrent compared to ex-post policy measures, such as improved detection effectiveness and harsher sanctions.
摘要本文建立了一个搜索匹配模型来分析政治腐败市场的动态。该模型可作为评估一系列反腐败政策有效性的框架。与预期相反,加强惩罚或为刑事调查分配更多资源等传统政策并非普遍成为最有效的工具。为了减轻小规模的政治腐败,最佳战略是减少腐败信号,例如,通过提高企业家和政治家之间交流的透明度和竞争力来实现。对于大规模腐败,与事后政策措施(如提高侦查效率和更严厉的制裁)相比,提高腐败信号的成本被证明是一种威慑效果较差的措施。

Early Childhood Education Attendance and Students’ Later Outcomes in Europe 欧洲儿童早期教育出勤率与学生的后期成就

Abstract The importance of investments in early childhood education (ECE) has been widely documented in the literature. Among the benefits, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, is its potential to mitigate educational inequality. However, some evidence also suggests that the positive effects of ECE on later outcomes tend to dissipate over time, leaving children who attended such programmes no better off academically than those who did not. This paper studies the relationship between students’ years spent in ECE, from 0 to before starting primary school, and the results of their educational assessment outcomes at age 15. Using PISA survey data for 14 European countries from 2015 to 2018, we conduct a cross-country comparison of student performance in reading, mathematics, and science, correlating the results to the duration of ECE attendance. Our findings show that duration in ECE is associated with better assessments at age 15, but that the benefit is nonlinear and peaks at 3–4 years of attendance. Gender and migration background are associated with student performance on the assessments; but we don’t find evidence of heterogeneity in the relationship between ECE duration and test outcomes based on gender and migration background. Instead, we document differential effects of ECE duration according to age of entry to ECE, mother’s education, and the type of educational system attended.
在早期儿童教育(ECE)投资的重要性已在文献中广泛记录。它的好处之一,特别是对来自弱势背景的儿童来说,是它有可能减轻教育不平等。然而,一些证据也表明,欧洲经委会对后来的结果的积极影响往往会随着时间的推移而消散,使参加这些课程的儿童在学业上并不比没有参加这些课程的儿童更好。本文研究了学生从0岁到上小学前在ECE学习的年数与他们15岁时的教育评估结果之间的关系。利用2015年至2018年14个欧洲国家的PISA调查数据,我们对学生在阅读、数学和科学方面的表现进行了跨国比较,并将结果与参加欧洲经委会的时间联系起来。我们的研究结果表明,ECE的持续时间与15岁时更好的评估有关,但这种好处是非线性的,并在参加的3-4年达到顶峰。性别和移民背景与学生在评估中的表现有关;但我们没有发现基于性别和移民背景的ECE持续时间和测试结果之间存在异质性的证据。相反,我们根据进入ECE的年龄、母亲的教育程度和所参加的教育系统类型,记录了ECE持续时间的差异影响。

Relational Voluntary Environmental Agreements with Unverifiable Emissions 不可核查排放的相关自愿环境协定

Abstract Environmental regulation and pollution control may clash against the presence of unverifiable tasks, like source-specific emissions. To tackle this issue, we reshape a voluntary agreement instrument, already available in the existing literature, from a dynamic perspective by means of a relational contracting approach. We define a Relational Voluntary Environmental Agreement (RVEA) in an N firms symmetric context, and show that even if emissions are not contractible across firms, and therefore enforcement cannot be delegated to a third party, if firms are sufficiently patient, a self-enforcing RVEA induces the achievement of the environmental objective. Finally, our welfare analysis reveals a notable result: our RVEA can imply less free riding and be welfare-improving with respect to a Voluntary Environmental Agreement enforced by a third party (along the lines of McEvoy, D. M., and J. K. Stranlund. 2010. “Costly Enforcement of Voluntary Environmental Agreements.” Environmental and Resource Economics 47: 45–63).
环境监管和污染控制可能会与无法验证的任务(如特定源排放)发生冲突。为了解决这一问题,我们通过关系契约方法从动态角度重塑了现有文献中已有的自愿协议工具。我们在N家企业对称的背景下定义了关系自愿环境协议(RVEA),并表明即使企业之间的排放不具有可收缩性,因此执行不能委托给第三方,如果企业足够耐心,自我执行的RVEA也会促使环境目标的实现。最后,我们的福利分析揭示了一个显著的结果:我们的RVEA可以意味着更少的搭便车,并在第三方强制执行的自愿环境协议方面提高福利(沿着McEvoy, D. M.和J. K. Stranlund. 2010的路线)。“自愿环境协议的昂贵执行。”环境与资源经济[j];

We define a Relational Voluntary Environmental Agreement (RVEA) in an N firms symmetric context, and show that even if emissions are not contractible across firms, and therefore enforcement cannot be delegated to a third party, if firms are sufficiently patient, a self-enforcing RVEA induces the achievement of the environmental objective. Finally, our welfare analysis reveals a notable result: our RVEA can imply less free riding and be welfare-improving with respect to a Voluntary Environmental Agreement enforced by a third party (along the lines of McEvoy, D. M., and J. K. Stranlund. 2010. “Costly Enforcement of Voluntary Environmental Agreements.” Environmental and Resource Economics 47: 45–63).","PeriodicalId":47400,"journal":{"name":"B E Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135243668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
