On The Causal Dynamics Between Economic Growth, Renewable Energy Consumption, Co2 Emissions And Trade Openness: Fresh Evidence From Brics Countries, Maamar Sebri

Maamar Sebri

The current study investigates the causal relationship between economic growth and renewable energy consumption in the BRICS countries over the period 1971–2010 within a multivariate framework. The ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM) are used to examine the long-run and causal relationships between economic growth, renewable energy consumption, trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions. Empirical evidence shows that, based on the ARDL estimates, there exist long-run equilibrium relationships among the competing variables. Regarding the VECM results, bi-directional Granger causality exists between economic growth and renewable energy consumption, suggesting the feedback hypothesis, which can explain …

Can Higher-Achieving Peers Explain The Benefits To Attending Selective Schools?: Evidence From Trinidad And Tobago, Clement (Kirabo) Jackson

C. Kirabo Jackson

Using exogenous secondary school assignments to remove self-selection bias to schools and peers, I obtain credible estimates of (1) the effect of attending schools with higher-achieving peers, and (2) the direct effect of peer quality improvements within schools, on the same population. While students at schools with higher-achieving peers have better academic achievement, within-school increases in peer achievement improve outcomes only at high-achievement schools. Estimates suggest that peer quality can account for over half of school value-added among the top quartile of schools, but little value-added for other schools. The results reveal some large and important differences by gender.

A Smooth Transition Sem Approach To Measure Contagion In International Markets\, Anjeza Kadilli, Jaya Krishnakumar

Anjeza Kadilli

There is extensive empirical evidence that market linkages strengthen during crises. Understanding market contagion can be of great importance for policy and portfolio diversification decisions, especially during the recent turmoil periods. The aim of this paper is to investigate in an asset-pricing perspective the cross-asset and the cross-country contagion in the sovereign Credit Default Swap market and in the banking sector for the euro area, U.S., U.K. and Switzerland. Based on the nonlinear Simultaneous Equation Model of Pesaran and Pick (2007) we formulate a more flexible setting in which the contagion effect is transmitted in a smooth manner. Our model …

Match Quality, Worker Productivity, And Worker Mobility: Direct Evidence From Teachers, C. Kirabo Jackson

C. Kirabo Jackson

I investigate the importance of the match between teachers and schools for student achievement. I show that teacher effectiveness increases after a move to a different school, and I estimate teacher-school match effects using a mixed-effects estimator. Match quality "explains away" a quarter of, and has two-thirds the explanatory power of teacher quality. Match quality is negatively correlated with turnover, unrelated with exit, and increases with experience. This paper provides the first estimates of worker-firm match quality using output data as opposed to inferring productivity from wages or employment durations. Because teacher wages are essentially unrelated to productivity, this is …

A Note On Dummies For Policies In Gravity Models: A Montecarlo Experiment, Claudio Vicarelli, Maria Pina Cipollina, Luca Salvatici, Luca De Benedictis

Claudio Vicarelli

The use of the gravity model to evaluate the effect of policies in a cross-country framework is largely predominant in the international economics empirical literature. This literature usually implements importer and exporter fixed effects to account for the theoretical Multilateral Trade Resistances, while preferential trade policies are approximated through the use of dummy variables. Results from a Monte Carlo experiment confirms that the identification of trade policy impact using a gravity equation including fixed effects is severely limited. Moreover, the consequences of the error in measurement of the policy variable are magnified by the fixed effects control for unobserved heterogeneity.

Exito Económico Y Volatilidad ¿Existen Los Almuerzos Gratis?, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

El crecimiento sostenido es factible, pero debe sustentarse en el sacrificio social (ahorro para promover la acumulación de capital físico, humano e innovaciones). No existen los milagros, ni los almuerzos gratis. Para crecer sostenidamente se debe transpirar. Paraguay viene experimentando algunos años en que el PIB crece a tasas elevadas. Esto es porque el país ha comenzado a producir, a escala intensiva, bienes con fuerte demanda mundial y precios elevados. Estos productos son de origen agropecuarios y la venta al extranjero se da en estado natural o con escaso valor agregado. Este hecho transformó la dinámica productiva del país dado …

This brief provides an inventory of guidance documents and tools for use in developing, implementing, and evaluating practice-based research networks (PBRNs) in public health settings.

The Value Of Public Health Financial Data, Glen P. Mays

Glen Mays

Effective policy and administrative decision-making in public health requires reliable information on the amount of resources invested in governmental public health programs and how these resouces are allocated and used across the U.S. public health system. This session examines current and potential uses of public health financial data in the U.S., and considers expanded roles for research in informing policy and administrative decisions.

Glen Mays

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Public Health PBRN Program has continued to expand during the 2013 program year with new networks, new research projects, and expanded translation and dissemination initiatives. The program plays an increasingly powerful role in helping to transform the U.S. public health enterprise into a rapid-learning system for health improvement.

Testing Integrated Primary Care And Public Health Models For Prevention Delivery, Glen Mays

Glen Mays

Improving the delivery of evidence-tested prevention interventions to populations at greatest risk requires strong coordination between primary care providers and public health organizations. This presentation reviews current research on models for integrated delivery of primary care and public health services, and identifies emerging research needs and opportunities. Of particular interest are the roles that practice-based research networks (PBRNs) can play in building this evidence.

Public Health Roi: Evidence, Experience, And Remaining Questions, Glen Mays

Glen Mays

Expanding the delivery of efficacious public health and prevention strategies holds considerable potential for improving health outcomes and constraining costs across the U.S. health system. Unfortunately, lingering certainties about the costs required to expand public health delivery systems and about the health and economic effects of such expansions has muted private and public support for increased public health expenditures. This lecture examines recent evidence from public health services and systems research studies that examine the health and economic value of public health delivery, and identifies remaining research needs for the field.

Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health: What We Know And Need To Learn, Glen P. Mays

Glen Mays

Efforts to improve population health hinge on the performance of the complex and heterogeneous delivery systems that are charged with implementing public health programs and policies across the U.S. Rigorous research on public health delivery systems historically has been much more limited than research on the specific programs and policies they deliver. Correcting these gaps in knowledge and evidence will allow for accelerated progress in improving health and containing costs through prevention.

Estimating The Health And Economic Effects Of Public Health Spending, Glen P. Mays

Glen Mays

Preventable health conditions account for more than 75% of the $2.7 trillion spent annually on health care in the U.S., yet less than 5% of these expenditures are devoted to public health programs and services that are designed to prevent and control disease and injury rather than to treat the downstream consequences of these conditions. Such limited expenditures in public health may contribute to the higher rates of preventable morbidity, mortality and excess medical costs experienced in the U.S. compared to other high-income countries. In this presentation, I update previous estimates of the health effects and medical cost offsets associated …

Public Health Expenditures, Public Health Delivery Systems, And Population Health, Glen Mays
