New Medical Schools, Access to Physicians, and Health Outcomes: Evidence From Japan

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyse the impact of the construction of medical schools and associated university hospitals in Japan during the 1970s, which was primarily driven by ‘One Prefecture, One Medical School Policy’ (OPOMS). We find that the number of physicians increased significantly in prefectures where a medical school was built, and this effect persisted ...

Asymmetric Long‐Run Effects of Monetary Policy on Generational Inequality

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the asymmetric long‐run effects of reversing contractionary monetary policy to expansionary policy on generational inequality in the UK using non‐linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL). The results show that there exists a long‐term relationship between monetary policy and income, consumption, and wealth ...

Conditional Randomization Tests for the Specification of Interference Structure

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes specification tests for interference structure in causal inference with spillovers. We focus on experimental settings in which the treatment assignment mechanism is known. To test whether a given exposure mapping adequately summarizes the true interference structure, we develop conditional randomization tests by utilizing ...

Small Area Consumption Estimates Combining Survey and Financial Footprints Data

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate average equivalised consumption measures across 370 local authority districts in Great Britain, using small‐area estimation methods that combine information from a household budget survey, a much larger survey of local demographics and employment, and area‐level information on bank account outflows and energy consumption.

Weighted Inequalities for Quasi-Monotone Functions

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 1998
The purpose of this paper is to give characterizations of weights for which reverse inequalities of the Hölder type for quasi-monotone functions are satisfied. Our inequalities with general weights and with sharp constants complement the results of Bergh-Burenov-Persson (1994), Heinig-Maligranda (1995), Heinig-Stepanov (1993) and Stepanov (1993, 1994 ...
