This study examines racial disparities in the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic in the United States, focusing on factors influencing infection and mortality rates at the county level. We find compelling evidence of disproportionate effects on ethnic minority groups, particularly Blacks, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. Additionally, socioeconomic variables including income inequality, residential segregation and lack of health insurance coverage are identified as significant contributors to these disparities. Notably, our analysis reveals a diminishing trend in disparities over time, suggesting possible effectiveness of policy responses and/or differential preventive behaviors across racial groups. Finally, the paper identifies several mediating channels through which socioeconomic variables contribute to overall disparities.
本研究探讨了 COVID-19 大流行对美国影响的种族差异,重点是影响县一级感染率和死亡率的因素。我们发现有令人信服的证据表明,少数族裔群体,尤其是黑人、西班牙裔美国人和美国原住民受到了不成比例的影响。此外,包括收入不平等、居住隔离和缺乏医疗保险在内的社会经济变量也是造成这些差异的重要原因。值得注意的是,我们的分析表明,随着时间的推移,差距呈缩小趋势,这表明政策应对措施和/或不同种族群体的预防行为可能是有效的。最后,本文指出了社会经济变量导致整体差异的几种中介渠道。

In many states, Certificate‐of‐Need (CON) laws prevent ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) from entering the market or expanding their services. This paper estimates the causal effects of state ASC‐CON law repeal on the accessibility of medical services statewide, as well as for rural areas. Our findings show that CON law repeals increase ASCs per capita by 44%–47% statewide and 92%–112% in rural areas. Repealing ASC‐CON laws causes a continuous increase in ASCs per capita, an effect which levels off 10 years after repeal. Contrary to the “cream‐skimming” hypothesis, we find no evidence that CON repeal is associated with hospital closures in rural areas. Rather, some regression models show that repeal is associated with fewer medical service reductions.
在许多州,需要证明(CON)法阻止非住院手术中心(ASC)进入市场或扩大服务。本文估算了各州废止非住院手术中心法对全州以及农村地区医疗服务可及性的因果效应。我们的研究结果表明,废除 ASC-CON 法可使全州人均 ASC 增加 44%-47%,农村地区人均 ASC 增加 92%-112%。废除 ASC-CON 法会导致人均 ASC 持续增长,这种效应在废除 10 年后趋于平稳。与 "榨取奶油 "的假说相反,我们没有发现任何证据表明废除《医疗服务协定》与农村地区医院的关闭有关。相反,一些回归模型显示,废除CON与减少医疗服务有关。

This paper examines the impact of Medicaid expansions to parents and childless adults on adult mortality. Specifically, we evaluate the long‐run effects of eight state Medicaid expansions from 1994 through 2005 on all‐cause, healthcare‐amenable, non‐healthcare‐amenable, and HIV‐related mortality rates using state‐level data. We utilize the synthetic control method to estimate effects for each treated state separately and the generalized synthetic control method to estimate average effects across all treated states. Using a 5% significance level, we find no evidence that Medicaid expansions affect any of the outcomes in any of the treated states or all of them combined. Moreover, there is no clear pattern in the signs of the estimated treatment effects. These findings imply that evidence that pre‐ACA Medicaid expansions to adults saved lives is not as clear as previously suggested.
本文研究了向父母和无子女成年人扩大《医疗补助计划》对成人死亡率的影响。具体而言,我们使用州级数据评估了 1994 年至 2005 年期间八个州的医疗补助扩展对全因死亡率、可接受医疗保健服务死亡率、不可接受医疗保健服务死亡率和 HIV 相关死亡率的长期影响。我们利用合成控制法分别估算了每个受惠州的影响,并利用广义合成控制法估算了所有受惠州的平均影响。在 5%的显著性水平下,我们没有发现任何证据表明医疗补助计划的扩大影响了任何一个受治疗州或所有受治疗州的任何结果。此外,估计的治疗效果的符号也没有明显的模式。这些研究结果表明,《美国医疗补助法案》实施前扩大成人医疗补助范围挽救了生命的证据并不像之前所说的那样明确。

How Adam Smith's banking views influenced Hamilton, Jefferson, and the debate over the Bank of the United States 亚当-斯密的银行观点如何影响汉密尔顿、杰斐逊以及关于美国银行的辩论

The most sophisticated monetary and banking policy advice available in the decades after 1776 was found in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. Smith recommended free competition among nationwide banks of issue with minimal legal restrictions and no legal privileges. Yet neither Alexander Hamilton nor Thomas Jefferson accepted Smith's recommendation, despite their familiarity with his arguments, and despite Scotland's positive experience while following it. We spell out Hamilton's and Jefferson's theoretical disagreements, and explain how Smith's advice did not serve either founder's political agenda. For Hamilton, competitive banking without a single privileged national bank would not do enough to strengthen the federal government. For Jefferson, any federal chartering of banks would strengthen the federal government too much at the expense of the states.
1776 年之后的几十年里,亚当-斯密的《国富论》中提出了最先进的货币和银行政策建议。斯密建议全国性发行银行之间进行自由竞争,尽量减少法律限制,不设法律特权。然而,亚历山大-汉密尔顿和托马斯-杰斐逊都没有接受斯密的建议,尽管他们熟知斯密的论点,尽管苏格兰在遵循斯密建议时获得了积极的经验。我们阐述了汉密尔顿和杰斐逊在理论上的分歧,并解释了斯密的建议如何不符合两位创始人的政治议程。对汉密尔顿来说,没有一家享有特权的国家银行的竞争性银行业不足以加强联邦政府。对杰斐逊来说,任何联邦特许银行都会以牺牲各州利益为代价,过多地加强联邦政府。

Since the 1970s, economists have regularly documented that women tend to underperform otherwise comparable men in introductory economics courses. Hypotheses as to why this finding is so persistent often target economists' pedagogical practices. In this paper, we leverage the changes forced by the COVID‐19 pandemic to explore several hypotheses. Leveraging a sample of more than 3000 students enrolled in introductory micro‐ and introductory macroeconomics across seven semesters, we examine the interaction between gender and course modality, returns to effort, and the composition of the final grade. We find the size of the gender performance gap, as measured by course grade, fluctuated significantly across pre‐, during, and post‐pandemic semesters. We conclude this variation is not explained by course modality or student effort measures; instead, we argue that assessment strategy may drive much of the gender gap. This suggests the de‐emphasis of multiple‐choice exams in grade composition may go a significant way to closing the gender gap in introductory economics performance.
自 20 世纪 70 年代以来,经济学家们经常记录到,在经济学入门课程中,女性的学习成绩往往低于在其他方面具有可比性的男性。关于这一发现为何如此顽固的假说往往针对经济学家的教学实践。在本文中,我们利用 COVID-19 大流行所带来的变化来探讨几个假设。我们利用 3000 多名学生在七个学期中学习微观经济学入门和宏观经济学入门的样本,研究了性别与课程模式、努力回报和期末成绩构成之间的相互作用。我们发现,以课程成绩衡量的性别成绩差距的大小在大流行前、大流行期间和大流行后的学期中波动很大。我们的结论是,课程模式或学生努力程度无法解释这种变化;相反,我们认为,评估策略可能是造成性别差距的主要原因。这表明,在成绩构成中不再强调选择题考试,可能会在很大程度上缩小经济学入门成绩的性别差距。

Free Markets and Health Care: Lessons from Welfare Economics 自由市场与医疗保健:福利经济学的启示

The U.S. health care system is often criticized for being the most expensive in the world while delivering mediocre health outcomes. While policymakers on both the right and left agree about the need for reform, they disagree strongly about whether that reform should involve a smaller role for government or a larger role. At the same time, the U.S.’ high costs and mediocre health outcomes likely are at least partly attributable to lifestyle choices that occur outside of the health care system, creating another possible avenue for intervention. This introduction to the symposium on “Free Markets and Health Care” discusses how welfare economics provides a useful tool in evaluating the appropriateness of government involvement in markets related to health and health care. The papers in the symposium provide important new evidence to help inform debates about, for instance, regulations on health care providers and insurers, health insurance expansions, and policies designed to influence health behaviors.
美国的医疗体系经常被批评为世界上最昂贵的医疗体系,但提供的医疗服务却很一般。虽然左右两派的政策制定者都认为有必要进行改革,但对于改革是应该减少政府的作用,还是应该扩大政府的作用,他们的意见却大相径庭。同时,美国高昂的医疗费用和平庸的医疗结果很可能至少部分归因于医疗系统之外的生活方式选择,这为干预创造了另一个可能的途径。这篇 "自由市场与医疗保健 "专题讨论会的导言探讨了福利经济学如何为评估政府介入与健康和医疗保健相关的市场是否合适提供了有用的工具。研讨会上的论文提供了重要的新证据,有助于为有关医疗服务提供商和保险公司的监管、医疗保险的扩大以及旨在影响健康行为的政策等方面的辩论提供参考。

Who is to put the bell on the cat? Democracy, dictatorship, and James M. Buchanan's early 1980s involvement with Pinochet's Chile 谁该为猫戴上铃铛?民主、独裁和詹姆斯-布坎南在 20 世纪 80 年代初与智利皮诺切特的关系

Although Milton Friedman's mid‐1970s involvement with Pinochet's Chile has generated much controversy, the claim that James M. Buchanan was similarly eager to provide Pinochet's military dictatorship with early 1980s policy advice is increasingly reported as an established fact in the vast scholarly literature on neoliberalism. This article invokes a wealth of previously ignored primary source material that sheds significant new light on Buchanan's early 1980s involvement with Chile. In particular, we evaluate whether Buchanan's May 1980 visit to Chile was an integral part of the Pinochet junta's late 1970s and early 1980s efforts to draft a new constitution. Similarly, we evaluate whether Buchanan's ideas had any significant influence on the views of Pedro Ibáñez and Carlos Cáceres (the most anti‐democratic members of Pinochet's Council of State and the primary hosts of Buchanan's May 1980 visit to Chile). Finally, we shed important new light on Buchanan's participation in the highly controversial late 1981 Mont Pèlerin Society meeting in Chile.
尽管米尔顿-弗里德曼在20世纪70年代中期与皮诺切特领导的智利的关系引发了许多争议,但在有关新自由主义的大量学术文献中,詹姆斯-布坎南同样热衷于为皮诺切特的军事独裁政权提供20世纪80年代早期的政策建议,这一说法被越来越多的报道视为既定事实。本文引用了大量以前被忽视的原始资料,对布坎南在20世纪80年代初与智利的关系进行了新的揭示。特别是,我们评估了布坎南1980年5月对智利的访问是否是皮诺切特军政府在20世纪70年代末和80年代初起草新宪法工作的一个组成部分。同样,我们还评估了布坎南的观点是否对佩德罗-伊瓦涅斯(Pedro Ibáñez)和卡洛斯-卡塞雷斯(Carlos Cáceres)(皮诺切特国务委员会中最反民主的成员,也是布坎南1980年5月访问智利的主要东道主)的观点产生了重大影响。最后,我们对布坎南参加1981年底在智利举行的极具争议性的蒙特佩勒兰协会会议进行了重要的新阐释。

A well‐established literature documents the role of outsourcing and technological change in explaining the growing skills premium in the U.S. economy from the 1970s through the late 1990s. In the 1980s labor's share of income relative to capital also began to decline. These two trends continue through the great recession. Separate literatures identify different reasons for the change in the skills premium and the decline in labor's share. This article considers the explanations for these two phenomena in a unified framework. The analysis is based on U.S. manufacturing data from 2002 through 2017, a period when there were significant shifts in the rate of growth in outsourcing and market concentration.
从 20 世纪 70 年代到 90 年代末,美国经济中的技能溢价不断增长,这其中的原因是由外包和技术变革造成的。20 世纪 80 年代,劳动力相对于资本的收入份额也开始下降。这两种趋势一直持续到大衰退时期。不同的文献指出了技能溢价变化和劳动力份额下降的不同原因。本文在一个统一的框架下对这两种现象进行了解释。分析基于 2002 年至 2017 年的美国制造业数据,在此期间,外包增长率和市场集中度发生了显著变化。

Introducing Ph.D. students to asymptotic inference for two‐stage M‐estimators: Easing analytic and coding demands via the use of numerical derivatives 向博士生介绍两阶段 M-估计器的渐近推理:通过使用数值导数降低分析和编码要求
IF 1.9 4区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2024-05-31 DOI: 10.1002/soej.12712
Joseph V. Terza
Applications of two‐stage M‐estimators (2SMEs) abound in empirical economics. Asymptotic theory for 2SMEs (correct formulation of the asymptotic standard errors [ASE]) has been available for decades. Nevertheless, due to the daunting nature of the requisite matrix formulations, when conducting statistical inference based on two‐stage estimates, applied researchers often implement bootstrapping methods or ignore the two‐stage nature of the estimator and report the uncorrected second‐stage outputs from packaged statistical software. In the present paper, we offer teachers of econometrics a pedagogical approach for introducing Ph.D. students to asymptotic inference for 2SMEs, with a view toward easier software implementation and empirical application. We seek to demonstrate to students (and their teachers) that the analytic and coding demands for calculating correct ASEs for the 2SME need not be burdensome (or prohibitive). The main instructional (and practical) innovation that we offer in this regard is our suggested use of numerical derivative (ND) software for calculating the most challenging components of the ASE formulations. An exercise demonstrates to the student that, by implementing ND software, one can overcome the analytic and coding impediments to conducting inference based on 2SMEs, without abandoning rigor.
两阶段 M-估计器(2SME)在实证经济学中的应用比比皆是。两阶段 M-估计器的渐近理论(渐近标准误差 [ASE] 的正确表述)已问世数十年。然而,由于所需的矩阵公式令人望而生畏,在进行基于两阶段估计的统计推断时,应用研究人员通常会采用自举方法,或忽略估计器的两阶段性质,并从打包的统计软件中报告未经修正的第二阶段输出结果。在本文中,我们为计量经济学教师提供了一种教学方法,向博士生介绍 2SME 的渐近推断,以便于软件实施和经验应用。我们试图向学生(及其教师)证明,计算 2SME 正确 ASE 的分析和编码要求不一定是沉重的负担(或令人望而却步的要求)。我们在这方面的主要教学(和实践)创新是建议使用数值导数(ND)软件来计算 ASE 公式中最具挑战性的部分。一个练习向学生证明,通过使用 ND 软件,可以克服基于 2SMEs 进行推理的分析和编码障碍,而不会放弃严谨性。

Asymptotic theory for 2SMEs (correct formulation of the asymptotic standard errors [ASE]) has been available for decades. Nevertheless, due to the daunting nature of the requisite matrix formulations, when conducting statistical inference based on two‐stage estimates, applied researchers often implement bootstrapping methods or ignore the two‐stage nature of the estimator and report the uncorrected second‐stage outputs from packaged statistical software. In the present paper, we offer teachers of econometrics a pedagogical approach for introducing Ph.D. students to asymptotic inference for 2SMEs, with a view toward easier software implementation and empirical application. We seek to demonstrate to students (and their teachers) that the analytic and coding demands for calculating correct ASEs for the 2SME need not be burdensome (or prohibitive).
