Using the National Compensation Survey from 2009 to 2022 and difference-in-differences methods, we find that state-level sick pay mandates are effective in broadening access to paid sick leave for U.S. workers. Increases in sick pay coverage reach 30 percentage points from a 63% baseline 5 years post-mandate. Mandates have more bite in jobs with low pre-mandate coverage. Further, mandates reduce inequality in access to paid sick leave substantially, both across and within firms. COVID-19 reinforced existing upward trends in coverage and take-up. Five years post mandate, sick leave use has linearly increased to 2.4 days per year for marginal jobs. Finally, we find crowding-in of non-mandated benefits, which we label "job upscaling" by firms to differentiate jobs and attract labor.

利用2009年至2022年的国家薪酬调查和差异中的差异方法,我们发现州一级的病假工资规定有效地扩大了美国工人获得带薪病假的机会。在授权后5年,病假工资覆盖范围从63%的基线增加30个百分点。授权对授权前覆盖率较低的工作岗位影响更大。此外,授权大大减少了公司之间和公司内部获得带薪病假的不平等。COVID-19加强了现有的覆盖率和使用率上升趋势。任务完成五年后,边缘工作的病假使用已线性增加到每年2.4天。最后,我们发现了非强制性福利的挤入,我们将其称为“工作升级”,由公司区分工作和吸引劳动力。

This paper investigates whether and why laws requiring chain restaurants to post calories on menus and menu boards work. We develop a model of calories consumed that highlights multiple potential channels through which these laws influence choice and that outlines an empirical strategy to disentangle these alternatives. We test the predictions of our model using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System on body mass index and consumer well-being, as well as our own surveys on how the law influences where people eat and how randomized exposure to calorie information affects feelings toward menu items. Viewed in its totality, our results are consistent with an economic model in which calorie labels influence consumers both by providing salient information and by imposing a welfare-reducing moral cost (or feelings of guilt) on unhealthy eating.

本文调查了要求连锁餐厅在菜单和菜单板上标注卡路里的法律是否有效,以及为什么有效。我们开发了一个卡路里消耗模型,强调了这些定律影响选择的多种潜在渠道,并概述了一个经验策略来解开这些选择。我们使用行为风险因素监测系统(Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System)关于体重指数和消费者幸福感的数据,以及我们自己关于法律如何影响人们在哪里吃饭以及随机暴露于卡路里信息如何影响对菜单项的感觉的调查,来测试我们模型的预测。从总体上看,我们的结果与一个经济模型是一致的,在这个模型中,卡路里标签通过提供显著信息和对不健康饮食施加减少福利的道德成本(或内疚感)来影响消费者。

We examine the well-being effects of a regularization program offered to half a million Venezuelan forced migrants in Colombia. We collected data on more than two thousand such migrants and compared the well-being of those who arrived in Colombia before and after the date that defined program eligibility. Since this date was announced ex-post and was unknown to the public, we could credibly evaluate the program’s impact. We find that program beneficiaries experienced large improvements in well-being, including consumption per capita (a gain of 48%), monthly labor income (an increase of 22%), and health status (an increment of 1.2 standard deviations). These positive outcomes largely stemmed from improved access to services, particularly the social protection system, subsidized healthcare system, and financial services. We also find that the fiscal costs incurred by the Colombian government for a regularized migrant household are lower than those for an irregular migrant household.
我们研究了为哥伦比亚 50 万委内瑞拉被迫移民提供的身份正常化计划对其福祉的影响。我们收集了两千多名此类移民的数据,并比较了在确定计划资格的日期之前和之后抵达哥伦比亚的移民的福利情况。由于该日期是事后公布的,公众并不知晓,因此我们可以对该计划的影响进行可信的评估。我们发现,该计划的受益者在福利方面有很大改善,包括人均消费(增加 48%)、每月劳动收入(增加 22%)和健康状况(增加 1.2 个标准差)。这些积极成果在很大程度上源于服务的改善,特别是社会保障体系、补贴医疗体系和金融服务。我们还发现,哥伦比亚政府为正常化移民家庭承担的财政成本低于非正常移民家庭。

This paper shows that social capital increases economic growth by raising government investment in human capital through better political incentives and selection. We provide empirical evidence that a greater share of output is spent on public education where social capital is higher, both across countries and across U.S. states. We develop a theoretical model of stochastic endogenous growth with imperfect political agency. Only some people correctly anticipate the future returns to current spending on public education. Greater social diffusion of information makes this knowledge more widespread among voters. As a result, social capital alleviates myopic political incentives to underinvest in human capital. It also helps voters select politicians who ensure high productivity in public education. Through this mechanism, we show that social capital raises the equilibrium growth rate of output and reduces its volatility.
本文表明,社会资本通过更好的政治激励和选择来提高政府对人力资本的投资,从而促进经济增长。我们提供的经验证据表明,在社会资本较高的国家和美国各州,公共教育投入的产出份额更大。我们建立了一个政治机构不完善的随机内生增长理论模型。只有一部分人能够正确预测当前公共教育支出的未来回报。信息的更大社会扩散使得这种知识在选民中更为普及。因此,社会资本缓解了对人力资本投资不足的近视政治动机。社会资本还有助于选民选择确保公共教育高生产率的政治家。通过这一机制,我们发现社会资本提高了产出的均衡增长率并降低了其波动性。

Testing Models of Strategic Uncertainty: Equilibrium Selection in Repeated Games 测试战略不确定性模型:重复博弈中的均衡选择

In repeated games, where both collusive and noncollusive outcomes can be supported as equilibria, it is crucial to understand the likelihood of selection for each type of equilibrium. Controlled experiments have empirically validated a selection criterion for the two-player repeated prisoner’s dilemma: the basin of attraction for always defect. This prediction device uses the game primitives to measure the set of beliefs for which an agent would prefer to unconditionally defect rather than attempt conditional cooperation. This belief measure reflects strategic uncertainty over others’ actions, where the prediction is for noncooperative outcomes when the basin measure is full, and cooperative outcomes when empty. We expand this selection notion to multi-player social dilemmas and experimentally test the predictions, manipulating both the total number of players and the payoff tensions. Our results affirm the model as a tool for predicting long-term cooperation, while also speaking to some limitations when dealing with first-time encounters.
在重复博弈中,合谋和非合谋结果都可以作为均衡点,因此了解每种均衡点的选择可能性至关重要。受控实验从经验上验证了双人重复囚徒困境的选择标准:总是缺陷的吸引力盆地。这种预测方法利用博弈基元来衡量代理人宁愿无条件叛逃而不愿尝试有条件合作的信念集合。这种信念度量反映了对他人行动的战略不确定性,当盆地度量为满时,预测结果为非合作,当盆地度量为空时,预测结果为合作。我们将这一选择概念扩展到多人社会困境中,并通过实验检验了预测结果,同时操纵了参与者总数和报酬张力。我们的结果肯定了该模型是预测长期合作的工具,同时也指出了它在处理初次相遇时的一些局限性。

Sme Failures Under Large Liquidity Shocks: an Application to the Covid-19 Crisis 大规模流动性冲击下的 Sme 故障:对 Covid-19 危机的应用

We study the effects of financial frictions on firm exit when firms face large liquidity shocks. We develop a simple model of firm cost-minimization, where firms’ borrowing capacity to smooth temporary shocks to liquidity is limited. In this framework, firm exit arises from the interaction between this financial friction and fluctuations in cash flow due to aggregate and sectoral changes in demand conditions, as well as more traditional shocks to productivity. To evaluate the implications of our model, we use firm level data on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in 11 European countries. We confirm that our framework is consistent with official failure rates in 2017-2019, a period characterized by standard business cycle fluctuations. To capture a large liquidity shock, we apply our framework to the COVID-19 crisis. We find that, absent government support, SME failure rates would have increased by 6.01 percentage points, putting 3.1% of employment at risk. Our results also show that in the presence of financial frictions and in the absence of government support, the firms failing due to COVID have similar productivity and growth to firms that survive COVID.
我们研究了当企业面临巨大流动性冲击时,金融摩擦对企业退出的影响。我们建立了一个简单的企业成本最小化模型,在这个模型中,企业平滑临时流动性冲击的借贷能力是有限的。在这一框架下,企业退出源于这种金融摩擦与需求条件的总体变化和部门变化导致的现金流波动之间的相互作用,以及更传统的对生产率的冲击。为了评估模型的影响,我们使用了 11 个欧洲国家中小企业的公司层面数据。我们证实,我们的框架与 2017-2019 年的官方倒闭率是一致的,这一时期的特点是标准的商业周期波动。为了捕捉大规模流动性冲击,我们将我们的框架应用于 COVID-19 危机。我们发现,如果没有政府支持,中小企业倒闭率会增加 6.01 个百分点,使 3.1% 的就业面临风险。我们的结果还显示,在存在金融摩擦和没有政府支持的情况下,因 COVID 而倒闭的企业与在 COVID 中存活下来的企业具有相似的生产率和增长。

The Making of Social Democracy: The Economic and Electoral Consequences of Norway’s 1936 Folk School Reform 社会民主的形成:挪威1936年民间学校改革的经济和选举后果

Upon assuming power for the first time in 1935, the Norwegian Labour Party delivered on its promise for a major schooling reform. The reform raised minimum instruction time in less developed rural areas and boosted the resources available to rural schools, reducing class size and raising teacher salaries. We show that cohorts more intensively affected by the reform increased their education and experienced higher labor income. Our main result is that the schooling reform also boosted support for the Norwegian Labour Party in subsequent elections. This additional support persisted for several decades and was pivotal in maintaining support for the social democratic coalition in Norway. These results are not driven by the direct impact of education and are not explained by higher turnout, or greater attention or resources from the Labour Party targeted towards the municipalities most affected by the reform. Rather, our evidence suggests that cohorts that benefited from the schooling reform, and their parents, rewarded the party for delivering a major reform that was beneficial to them.
1935 年,挪威工党首次执政,兑现了进行重大学校教育改革的承诺。改革提高了欠发达农村地区的最短教学时间,增加了农村学校的可用资源,缩小了班级规模,提高了教师工资。我们的研究表明,受改革影响较大的群体提高了教育水平,并获得了更高的劳动收入。我们的主要结果是,在随后的选举中,学校教育改革也提高了挪威工党的支持率。这种额外的支持持续了几十年,对维持挪威社会民主联盟的支持起到了关键作用。这些结果并不是由教育的直接影响所驱动的,也不是由投票率的提高、工党对受改革影响最大的城市的更多关注或资源所解释的。相反,我们的证据表明,从学校教育改革中受益的群体及其父母对工党进行了有益于他们的重大改革给予了回报。

Regulating Platform Fees 规范平台收费

We consider platforms that help consumers discover and transact with suppliers. Such platforms have come to dominate many sectors of the economy, raising issues about the high fees they charge suppliers, especially since they tend to commoditize the suppliers they aggregate. We show that in a baseline setting, the efficient platform fee is determined by a simple formula: it equals the platform’s marginal cost plus the difference between suppliers’ markups on the direct channel and suppliers’ markups on the platform. We explore the extent to which this simple formula provides a robust cap for regulating the platform’s fee more generally.
我们考虑的是帮助消费者发现供应商并与之交易的平台。这类平台已在许多经济领域占据主导地位,但它们向供应商收取高额费用的问题也随之而来,尤其是因为它们往往会使其聚合的供应商商品化。我们的研究表明,在基线环境下,有效的平台费用由一个简单的公式决定:它等于平台的边际成本加上供应商在直接渠道上的加价与供应商在平台上的加价之间的差额。我们探讨了这一简单公式在多大程度上为更广泛地监管平台费用提供了一个稳健的上限。

Smart Cap 智能帽

Larry Karp, Christian Traeger
Policymakers’ imperfect knowledge about firms’ abatement costs leads to inefficient regulation, reducing the welfare gains from carbon markets around the world. We introduce a “smart” cap and trade system that eliminates these costs. This cap responds endogenously to technology or macroeconomic shocks, relying on the market price of certificates to aggregate information. It allows policy makers to modify existing institutions to achieve more efficient emissions reductions. The paper also shows that the slow diffusion of technology innovations typically makes the optimal carbon price a much steeper function of emissions than suggested by the Social Cost of Carbon.
政策制定者对企业减排成本的不完全了解导致监管效率低下,降低了全球碳市场带来的福利收益。我们引入了一种 "智能 "上限和交易制度,可以消除这些成本。这种上限可以对技术或宏观经济冲击做出内生反应,依靠证书的市场价格来汇总信息。它允许政策制定者修改现有制度,以实现更有效的减排。该论文还表明,技术创新的缓慢传播通常会使最优碳价格成为比碳的社会成本更陡峭的排放函数。

The paper also shows that the slow diffusion of technology innovations typically makes the optimal carbon price a much steeper function of emissions than suggested by the Social Cost of Carbon.","PeriodicalId":48297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Economic Association","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140926629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimate the effects of health information technology designed to improve access to medication while limiting overuse through easier prescription renewal and improved information provision. We focus on benzodiazepines, a commonly prescribed class of mental health and insomnia medications, which are highly effective but potentially addictive. We study the staggered rollout of a nationwide electronic prescribing system over four years in Finland and use population-wide, individual-level administrative data sets. We find that e-prescribing increases average benzodiazepine use due to increased prescription renewals. The increase is most pronounced for younger patients. E-prescribing can improve the health of elderly patients and may help to balance the access-overuse trade-off. Without additional monitoring for addiction in place, it may, however, also have unintended health consequences for younger patients, who are more likely to develop mental and behavioral health disorders.
我们对医疗信息技术的效果进行了估算,该技术旨在通过简化处方更新和改善信息提供,在限制过度用药的同时提高药物的可及性。我们将重点放在苯二氮卓类药物上,这是一类常用的精神疾病和失眠症处方药,疗效显著,但有潜在成瘾性。我们研究了芬兰在四年内交错推广全国电子处方系统的情况,并使用了全人口、个人层面的行政数据集。我们发现,由于处方续订量增加,电子处方增加了苯二氮杂卓的平均使用量。年轻患者的使用量增加最为明显。电子处方可以改善老年患者的健康状况,并有助于平衡获取与过度使用之间的权衡。但是,如果不对药物成瘾进行额外监控,也可能会对年轻患者造成意想不到的健康后果,因为他们更容易患上精神和行为健康疾病。
