Spousal Labor Market Effects From Government Health Insurance: Evidence From A Veterans Affairs Expansion, Melissa A. Boyle, Joanna N. Lahey Aug 2011

Spousal Labor Market Effects From Government Health Insurance: Evidence From A Veterans Affairs Expansion, Melissa A. Boyle, Joanna N. Lahey

Economics Department Working Papers

Although government expansion of health insurance to older workers leads to labor supply reductions for recipients, there may be spillover effects on the labor supply of affected spouses who are not covered by the programs. In the simplest model, health insurance on the job is paid for in terms of lower compensation on the job. Receiving health insurance exogenous to employment is akin to a positive income shock for the household, causing total household labor supply to drop. However, it is not clear within the household whether this decrease in labor supply will be borne by both spouses or by …

The Economics Of Lotteries: A Survey Of The Literature, Kent Grote, Victor Matheson Aug 2011

The Economics Of Lotteries: A Survey Of The Literature, Kent Grote, Victor Matheson

Economics Department Working Papers

Lotteries represent an important source of government revenues in many states and countries, so they are of interest to public finance economists. In addition, lotteries provide researchers interested in microeconomic theory and consumer behavior with a type of experimental lab that allows economists to explore these topics. This paper surveys the existing literature on lotteries organized around these two central themes. The first section examines the microeconomic aspects of lotteries including consumer decision-making under uncertainty, price and income elasticities of demand for lottery tickets, cross-price elasticities of lottery ticket to each other and to other gambling products, consumer rationality and …


International Women's Soccer And Gender Inequality: Revisited, Joshua Congdon-Hohman, Victor Matheson Aug 2011

International Women's Soccer And Gender Inequality: Revisited, Joshua Congdon-Hohman, Victor Matheson

Economics Department Working Papers

A number of authors have identified the determinants of success in international sporting competitions such as the Olympics and soccer’s World Cup. This paper serves to update past work on international women’s soccer performance given the rapid development of the game over the past decade. We compare the determinants of men’s international soccer team performance with that of their female counterparts and find that a different set of variables are important in explaining success for the two genders. While economic and demographic influences hold for both, the impacts of specific political and cultural factors diverge. In particular, Latin heritage predicts …


Gender Differences In Competitive Balance In Intercollegiate Basketball, Jaret Treber, Rachel Levy, Victor Matheson Aug 2011

Gender Differences In Competitive Balance In Intercollegiate Basketball, Jaret Treber, Rachel Levy, Victor Matheson

Economics Department Working Papers

This paper adds to the literature on competitive balance in college sports by comparing men's and women's NCAA basketball. Using data from the Division I National Championships, we find evidence consistent with the idea that women’s college basketball is less competitively balanced than men’s college basketball. We argue that this difference may be explained by a theory of player ability borrowed from evolutionary biology first promulgated by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and subsequently utilized in Berri (2004). An implication of this idea is that competitive balance in women’s NCCA basketball will naturally improve over time. This is good news for …


An Evaluation Of The Economic Impact Of National Football League Mega-Events, Robert Baade, Victor Matheson Aug 2011

An Evaluation Of The Economic Impact Of National Football League Mega-Events, Robert Baade, Victor Matheson

Economics Department Working Papers

This paper evaluates the magnitude and the economic impact of NFL mega-events including the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl. The paper also reviews the theory behind the usual findings that the observed economic benefits of mega-events are almost always a fraction of the benefits claimed a priori.


Optimal Capital Taxation And Consumer Uncertainty, Justin Svec Aug 2011

Optimal Capital Taxation And Consumer Uncertainty, Justin Svec

Economics Department Working Papers

This paper analyzes the impact of consumer uncertainty on optimal fiscal policy in a model with capital. The consumers lack confidence about the probability model that characterizes the stochastic environment and so apply a max-min operator to their optimization problem. An altruistic fiscal authority does not face this Knightian uncertainty. It is shown analytically that the government, in responding to consumer uncertainty, no longer sets the expected capital tax rate exactly equal to zero, as is the case in the full-confidence benchmark model. However, our numerical results indicate that the government does not diverge far from this value. Even though …
