Three Essays On Entry Barriers And Incentives In Labor Markets, Samuel Ingram
Three Essays On Entry Barriers And Incentives In Labor Markets, Samuel Ingram
Theses and Dissertations--Economics
Occupational choice at the margin depends on both the incentives for entry and barriers to entry. The primary entry barrier determined by regulation is an occupational license.

Essays On Institutions And Development, Andrew Jonelis
Theses and Dissertations--Economics
The essays in this dissertation examine how political institutions affect economic development.

This experiment seeks …

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), with the goal of reforming the United States health care system and providing insurance for millions of uninsured citizens and residents. One component of the legislation was the expansion of Medicaid eligibility, which would extend to include all individuals “under age 65 whose family income is at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty guidelines ($14,484 for an individual and $29,726 for a family of four in 2011)” (NCSL, 2015).
