Religion And Subjective Well-Being Among China’S Elderly Population, Philip H. Brown, Brian Tierney
Religion And Subjective Well-Being Among China’S Elderly Population, Philip H. Brown, Brian Tierney
Working Papers in Economics
Evidence from developed and developing countries alike demonstrates a strongly positive relationship between religiosity and happiness, particularly for women and particularly among the elderly. Using survey data from the oldest old in China, we find a strong negative relationship between religious participation and subjective well-being in a rich multivariate logistic framework that controls for demographics, health and disabilities, living arrangements and marital status, wealth and income, lifestyle and social networks, and location. In contrast to other studies, we also find that religion has a larger effect on subjective well-being on men than women.

Candidate Quality And Voter Response In U.S. House Elections, Walter J. Stone, Nathan J. Hadley, Rolfe D. Peterson, Cherie D. Maestas, L. Sandy Maisel
Candidate Quality And Voter Response In U.S. House Elections, Walter J. Stone, Nathan J. Hadley, Rolfe D. Peterson, Cherie D. Maestas, L. Sandy Maisel
Working Papers in Economics
We propose and test the implications of a two-dimensional concept of candidate quality in U.S. House elections. Strategic quality is composed of the skills and resources necessary to wage an effective campaign; personal quality is composed of the characteristics most ordinary citizens value in their leaders and representatives, such as personal integrity and dedication to public service. We employ district informants in studies of the 1998 and 2002 congressional elections to measure these qualities in candidates, and we merge mass survey data with the district informant indicators to assess constituents’ awareness and evaluation of House candidates, and voting choice. We …
Media Coverage And Charitable Giving After The 2004 Tsunami, Philip H. Brown, Jessica H. Minty
Media Coverage And Charitable Giving After The 2004 Tsunami, Philip H. Brown, Jessica H. Minty
Working Papers in Economics
Media coverage of humanitarian crises is widely believed to influence charitable giving, yet this assertion has received little empirical scrutiny. Using Internet donations after the 2004 tsunami as a case study in a tobit framework, we show that media coverage of disasters increases charitable donations, with an additional minute of nightly news coverage increasing donations by 0.036 standard deviations from the mean. We repeat the analysis using instrumental variables in a tobit model to account for endogeneity, and the estimates are unchanged. We also show that the magnitude and sign of media impact vary by news source and relief agency.
Experimental Economics Methodologies And Applications: Price Competition Among Gasoline Stations, Albert Goodman
Experimental Economics Methodologies And Applications: Price Competition Among Gasoline Stations, Albert Goodman
Senior Scholar Papers
Experimental economics is the newest tool available to improve the research of economists. The first chapter reviews the methods that experimentation employs. The review is important for understanding the construction and running of experiments as well as the criticisms. The second chapter illustrates the methods through an example experiment of the Allais Paradox. The third chapter develops an original experiment involving the pricing decisions of gasoline by owners of adjacent gasoline stations. Anecdotal evidence shows that gas stations located in close proximity to one another often have different prices. This result contradicts existing oligopoly and duopoly theory. An experiment is …

Be The Change You Wish To See: National Attiudes And Climate Change Policy, Emilia Tjernstrom
Be The Change You Wish To See: National Attiudes And Climate Change Policy, Emilia Tjernstrom
Senior Scholar Papers
A multitude of views characterize what should or should not be done about climate change, and in the past decades, nations have acted very differently in the face of climate change. This study explores factors that affect individuals' attitudes and concerns towards the environment and how those attitudes ultimately affect climate change policy. One model investigates the link between individual attitudes and countries' actions on climate change, and the results show that attitudes indeed matter in the implementation of policy. Different measures of democracy such as freedom of the press also prove to be important as channels for these attitudes. …
