Gender Differences In Labor Market Outcomes During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Cassidy Bowes
Gender Differences In Labor Market Outcomes During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Cassidy Bowes
Economics
In the events of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Homeland security released guidelines on who would be an essential worker and required to keep going to work for the benefit of society. Two of the industries deemed essential were healthcare and education, both of which are heavily concentrated by female workers. In this study, I use Current Population Survey data spanning November 2019 to December 2021 to test for gender differences in earnings among those working in the healthcare and education occupations during the pandemic. I estimate a regression model which includes controls for time trends and other factors, …

The Effects Of The Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansion On Breast And Cervical Cancer Screening Rates On Low-Income Childless Women, Michelle Raissa Kobou Wafo

In 2010, the Obama administration passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) commonly known as Obamacare. However, it is in 2014 that several key parts of the ACA went into effect. Among those key parts is the Medicaid expansion program. States that chose to adopt the policy, expanded Medicaid access to everyone under 138 percent of the federal poverty line. This extension had the largest impact on childless adults who previously were not covered by the program. Moreover, ACA made it mandatory for all health plans (private and public) to include the ten essential health benefits in their …
Systematic Risk-Factors Among U.S. Stock Market Sectors, Maksim V. Papenkov
Systematic Risk-Factors Among U.S. Stock Market Sectors, Maksim V. Papenkov
Economics
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and its extensions are a family of empirical asset pricing models which partition risk as either "systematic" (market-wide) or "idiosyncratic" (stock-specific). Examples of systematic risk-factors include the market return, company size, and company value. Within the framework of the CAPM-family of models, it is assumed that the effects of these systematic risk-factors are homogenous among sectors. This paper develops an extension to the CAPM relaxing this assumption, by directly comparing these systematic risk-factors at the sector-level. Utilizing CRSP and Compustat data, systematic risk-factor premiums are estimated for each sector, which demonstrates heterogeneity, with respect …

Effects The 2014 Medicaid Expansion On Seat Belt Use: An Investigation Into Moral Hazard, Paul Pangburn
Economics
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law by President Obama in 2010, health insurance coverage was expanded to 20 million previously uninsured people. Of these, 14.5 million were Medicaid eligible. Moral Hazard, a common research topic in insurance, is defined as when the private actions of an individual in a risk-sharing situation influence the probability of the outcome. There are two types of moral hazard, called ex-post moral hazard and ex-ante moral hazard. In the case of health insurance, ex-post moral hazard is when a health behavior changes after an individual becomes insured. Ex-ante moral hazard, …
Effectiveness Of Beer Keg Registration Law On Decreasing Underage Binge Drinking, Zana Beck
Effectiveness Of Beer Keg Registration Law On Decreasing Underage Binge Drinking, Zana Beck
Economics
Since the prohibition act of 1919, alcohol has always had high economic costs and benefits. While it increases revenues for the Federal Government through taxation and company profits, there are, unfortunately, several costs that impact society. These costs, also known as negative externalities, include a variety of actions like alcohol related traffic accidents, increased crime, and excessive binge drinking. A negative externality is described as “a cost that is suffered by a third party as a result of an economic transaction,” in which the third party is indirectly affected (MaClean, 2013). In the case of alcohol, society is the third …
