This paper examines the impact of World War II (WWII) service on the labour force participation (LFP) of older Australian men in the second half of the twentieth century. Leveraging substantial variation in service rates across birth cohorts, we estimate the causal effect of military service on retirement behaviour. We find that WWII service led to a pronounced decline in LFP—by more than 20 percentage points—for men aged 60–64. This decline is primarily driven by veterans' earlier eligibility for public retirement benefits, particularly the Service Pension, which was accessible from age 60. Supporting this interpretation, survey data from the 1970s indicate that veterans expected to retire earlier than non-veterans. Furthermore, differences in education, employment history and income do not fully explain the observed gap in retirement expectations, underscoring the role of veteran-specific retirement provisions in shaping labour supply at older ages.

Using data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey for a sample of employees aged 28–38, this paper examines changes in returns to education between 2001–2011 and 2012–2023. The study controls for seven education categories (PhD, Master's, Graduate Diploma, Graduate Certificate, Honours, Bachelor's and Diploma/Certificate III/IV) using individuals with no post-school qualifications as the reference group. Over the study period, there is a significant decline in the wage premia (returns) within all education groups, except PhD and Graduate Certificates. The extent of the decline varies by education category, gender, sector and across the wage distribution.

This study investigates the differential effect of the announcement of new public housing locations on property prices in relatively more expensive and less expensive neighbourhoods, taking advantage of a single unanticipated government announcement of new builds in multiple locations in the Australian Capital Territory. We apply three different approaches to control for the quality differences of properties, to be used alongside the difference-in-differences method. We find the announcement dampens property prices in more expensive host neighbourhoods but not in less expensive ones, and when the host neighbourhoods are treated as one, we find that there is no impact, hence masking this heterogeneous impact. Our findings will help policy-makers make important decisions around equity and efficiency in the provision of public housing across regions.
