SUMMARY:"Migration and the Labor Market Impact of COVID-19\," Mushfiq Mobarak\, Yale University
DESCRIPTION:“Migration and the Labor Market Impact of COVID-19” \nMushfiq Mobarak\, Yale University \nIn this talk\, Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak will present the findings from a series of recent studies related to the consequences of COVID-19. The studies analyze the impact of the pandemic on outcomes such as employment\, income\, food security\, including on vulnerable groups such as refugees and migration-dependent households. They also assess attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination and interventions to promote mask use. The findings have important policy implications on providing emergency support while reforming social protection programs and creating income-generating opportunities to build the resilience of poor households. They will also inform the global effort to promote preventive health behavior and vaccine uptake. \nPaper 1: “Falling living standards during the COVID-19 crisis: Quantitative evidence from nine developing countries” \nAbstract \nDespite numerous journalistic accounts\, systematic quantitative evidence on economic conditions during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains scarce for most low- and middle-income countries\, partly due to limitations of official economic statistics in environments with large informal sectors and subsistence agriculture. We assemble evidence from over 30\,000 respondents in 16 original household surveys from nine countries in Africa (Burkina Faso\, Ghana\, Kenya\, Rwanda\, Sierra Leone)\, Asia (Bangladesh\, Nepal\, Philippines)\, and Latin America (Colombia). We document declines in employment and income in all settings beginning March 2020. The share of households experiencing an income drop ranges from 8 to 87% (median\, 68%). Household coping strategies and government assistance were insufficient to sustain precrisis living standards\, resulting in widespread food insecurity and dire economic conditions even 3 months into the crisis. We discuss promising policy responses and speculate about the risk of persistent adverse effects\, especially among children and other vulnerable groups. This paper may be accessed here. \nPaper 2: “Migration and the Labor Market Impacts of COVID-19”  \nAbstract \nWe report the excess economic vulnerabilities of migration-dependent households during the COVID-19 pandemic using detailed microdata from Bangladesh and Nepal. Leveraging experimental and observa tional variation in prior migration status\, we observe 25% greater declines in earnings and fourfold greater prevalence of food insecurity among migrant households since April 2020. Causes evident in the data include lower mobility\, less remittance income\, and greater health risk and stigma regarding migrants car rying COVID. We document the global scope of this problem by compiling a large set of secondary data to show that labor migration is extremely prevalent in less developed countries\, and that the causal economic return to such migration is large. We conclude with suggestions for policy to alleviate the challenges faced by migrants during the pandemic. New mobility restrictions imposed to limit contagion may lead the vulnerabilities to persist for a prolonged period\, and this population requires special policy attention.  \nPaper 3: “Community-Wide Mask Promotion: A Cluster-Randomized Trial in Rural Bangladesh” \nAbstract \nBackground: A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that face masks can slow the\nspread of COVID-19 and save lives. \nMethods: We conducted a cluster-randomized trial of community-level mask promotion in\nrural Bangladesh involving 341\,830 adults in 600 villages. Villages were paired and one in\neach pair was randomly assigned to intervention or control. In intervention villages\, with the\nactive support of local leaders\, we distributed masks (surgical or cloth) to every household and\nemployed various interventions to promote mask use at mosques\, markets\, and other public\nplaces multiple times per week. There were no intervention activities in the control villages.\nThe objective was to assess the degree to which the intervention and cross-randomizations\ncould increase proper (covering nose and mouth) wearing of face masks. This analysis is part\nof larger study evaluating the effect of mask-wearing on transmission of SARS-CoV-2. In this\npaper the primary outcome was the prevalence of proper mask-wearing. It was not possible to\nblind participants or surveillance staff to the intervention. \nResults: There were 64\,937 households in the intervention group and 64\,183 households in\nthe control group; study recruitment has ended. In the control group\, proper mask-wearing\nis practiced by 13% of those observed. Our intervention increased proper mask-wearing by\n28.6 percentage points (95% CI: 26.1%-31.1%) over the 2-10 week length of the intervention.\nPhysical distancing\, measured as the fraction of individuals at least one arm’s length apart\,\nalso increased by 6 percentage points (95% CI: 4.9%-7.6%). Mask type (surgical or cloth)\,\ntext reminders\, public signage commitments\, monetary or non-monetary incentives\, altruistic\nmessaging or verbal commitments had no additional effect on people’s propensity to wear\nmasks. Blue surgical masks were more likely to be worn than green\, and purple cloth masks\nwere more likely to be worn than red. We observe larger increases in mask-wearing among\nmen and in villages where mask-wearing was initially low. No adverse events were reported\nduring the study period. \nConclusions: Our intervention demonstrates a scalable and cost-effective method to promote\nmask adoption and save lives. Our cross-randomizations suggest this increase can be achieved\nwithout incentives that require costly monitoring\, that aesthetic design choices and colors can\ninfluence mask-wearing\, and that surgical masks with greater filtration efficiency can be a\ncost-effective alternative to cloth masks (1/3 the cost) and equally likely to be worn. Implementing\nthese interventions – including distribution of free masks\, information campaign\, reminders\,\nencouragement – costs $2.30-$3.75 per villager\, or between $8 and $13 per person adopting\na mask. Combined with existing estimates of the efficacy of masks in preventing COVID-19\ndeaths\, this implies that the intervention cost $28\,000-$66\,000 per life saved. Beyond reducing\nthe transmission of COVID-19\, mask distribution is likely to be a cost-effective strategy to\nprevent future respiratory disease outbreaks. \nBiography: Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak is a Professor of Economics at Yale University with concurrent appointments in the School of Management and in the Department of Economics. Mobarak is the founder and faculty director of the Yale Research Initiative on Innovation and Scale (Y-RISE).

SUMMARY:"Stress\, happiness\, and maternity leave at childbirth\," Mauricio Avendano Pabon\, King's College London
DESCRIPTION:“Stress\, happiness\, and maternity leave at childbirth” \nMauricio Avendano Pabon\, King’s College London \nAbstract: This study examines the impact of childbirth on both stress and happiness. We use unique data from the Survey of Health\, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE)\, which collects full retrospective life histories for women aged 50 years and older in 12 European countries. Using an instrumental variable fixed effect approach\, we show that the first two years after childbirth lead to a significant increase in the risk of severe stress\, while simultaneously increasing the probability of reporting a distinct period of happiness. We show that longer maternity leave entitlements leading to longer job interruptions significantly decrease the risk of stress: A period of eight weeks of maternity leave is sufficient to counterbalance the effect of childbirth on stress. Our results highlight the critical impact of maternity leave policies on the experience of childbirth and the wellbeing of working mothers. \nBiography: Mauricio Avendano Pabon is a Professor of Public Policy and Global Health and Director of the Institute of Gerontology at the Department of Global Health & Social Medicine. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor at Harvard University. Before joining King’s\, Mauricio was Associate Professorial Research Fellow and Deputy Director of LSE Health at the London School of Economics and Political Science (2011-2015). He has been David Bell Fellow at Harvard University (2008-2010)\, and Assistant Professor at the Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands (2006-2010). He is also a network associate of the McArthur Foundation Research Network on an Ageing Society. \nFor more information about Dr. Avendano Pabon click here.  \nThe seminar recording may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:"Randomized Regulation: The Impact of Minimum Quality Standards on Health Markets\," Jishnu Das\, Georgetown University
DESCRIPTION:“Randomized Regulation: The Impact of Minimum Quality Standards on Health Markets” \nJishnu Das\, Georgetown University \nAbstract: Working with the Kenyan Cabinet and Ministry of Health\, we experimentally evaluated the market-level impacts of healthcare regulation in settings with public and private providers. We randomly allocated 273 markets with 1258 facilities to treatment and control arms and in treatment arms\, facilities were inspected to assess compliance with minimum patient safety standards with the potential for closure. To accurately capture how regulation functions in low-capacity environments\, inspections and facility closures were carried out by the government using their own staff. \nThe intervention (a) increased compliance with the patient safety checklist in both public and private clinics (more so in the latter); (b) increased closures of clinics without licenses and (c) reallocated patients from private to public clinics\, primarily in markets with a facility closure. A decomposition approach shows that 93% of the increase in compliance with patient safety measures was due to improvements within facilities\, rather than exits or changes in market shares. The intervention had no impact on patients’ out-of-pocket payments\, and we find no evidence of declines in facility use\, either in the aggregate or for poorer patients. \nWe then examine three classes of mechanisms: An information channel\, a compliance channel and a vertical differentiation channel due to Ronen (1991). We do not find evidence for the information channel and weak evidence for the compliance channel. Quantile treatment effects suggest that\, consistent with Ronen (1991)\, there were quality improvements across the quality spectrum. \nOur study thus brings the regulatory function of the state under the ambit of experimental methods and shows that even in low-capacity settings\, regulations and inspections can improve the quality of care\, as measured by compliance with patient safety measures. \nBiography: Jishnu Das is a professor at the McCourt School of Public Policy and the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Jishnu’s work focuses on health and education in low and middle-income countries\, with an emphasis on social markets\, or common\, but complex\, conflagrations of public and private education and health providers operating in a small geographical space. \nA recording of the seminar can be accessed here.  \nMore on Prof. Das

SUMMARY:"Banks\, alternative institutions\, and the spatial-temporal ecology of racial inequality\," Mario Luis Small\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Mario Luis Small\, Harvard University\nResearch has made clear that racial inequality is affected by neighborhood conditions.  One important condition is the accessibility of financial establishments. We examine how living in minority neighborhoods affects ease of access to conventional banks vs. to alternative financial institutions (AFIs) such as check cashers and payday lenders\, which are often more expensive and have at times been called predatory. Based on more than 6 million queries\, we compute the difference in the time required to walk\, drive\, or take public transit to the nearest bank vs. the nearest AFI from the middle of every block in each of 19 of the nation’s largest cities.  Results suggest that race is strikingly more important than class: even after numerous economic\, demographic\, and structural conditions are accounted for\, the AFI is more often closer than the bank in well-off minority neighborhoods than in poo rwhite ones.  Results are driven by not the absence of banks but the prevalence of AFIs in minority areas.  Documented differences are so large that accounting for them on the basis of preferences—of differences in demand for AFIs by race—would be inconsistent with available evidence and highly unlikely.  Additional survey data on preferences is consistent with these findings. \nBiography: Pro. Small is the author of award-winning books and articles on networks\, poverty\, organizations\, culture\, methods\, neighborhoods\, institutions\, and other topics. He is currently using large-scale administrative data to understand isolation in cities\, studying how people use their networks to meet their needs\, and exploring the epistemological foundations of qualitative research. His latest book is Someone To Talk To (Oxford). A study of how people decide whom to approach when seeking support\, the book is an inquiry into human nature\, a critique of network analysis\, and a discourse on the role of qualitative research in the big-data era. \nMore on Prof. Small  \n  \nThe seminar recording may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:"Models of Social Change: Principles and Methods of Age-Period-Cohort Analysis\," Ethan Fosse\, University of Toronto and Christopher Winship\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Fosse\, University of Toronto and Christopher Winship\, Harvard University \n“Models of Social Change: Principles and Methods of Age-Period-Cohort Analysis” \nAge-period-cohort (APC) analysis has a long\, controversial history in sociology and demography. Despite nearly a century of research\, there is little agreement on how to adequately analyze APC data. In this talk we discuss techniques for improving APC analysis. We begin with a brief overview of APC models\, showing how one can interpret APC effects in a causal way. We then outline techniques that entail point identification using measured causes\, such as mechanism-based models. Next\, we discuss a general framework for APC analysis grounded in partial identification using bounds and sensitivity analyses of mechanism-based models. We conclude with future directions for research. \nBiography: Ethan Fosse is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto where he currently teaches courses on quantitative methods\, social change\, and computational social science. He received his Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University. He worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University in the Department of Sociology and Department of Politics\, where he designed and implemented a series of open-source statistical programming workshops. \nMore on Professor Fosse \nBiography: Christopher Winship is the Diker-Tishman Professor of Sociology\, Harvard University and a member of the senior faculty at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He is a faculty associate of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science\, the Program in Criminal Justice\, the Ph.D. Program in Organizational Behavior\, the Center for Public Leadership\, the Safra Center for Ethics\, and the Program in Social Inequality. He is past chair of both the Departments of Sociology at Harvard and Northwestern University. Prior to coming to Harvard in 1992\, he was a Professor of Sociology\, Statistics\, and Economics at Northwestern. He has also been the Director of the Program in Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences at Northwestern and interim Director of the Economic Research Center at the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:"Interviewing Immigrants in Different Contexts\," Cecilia Menjívar\, UC Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:“Interviewing Immigrants in Different Contexts”\n\nCecilia Menjívar\, UCLA \nIn-depth\, qualitative interviews often generate understandings of study participants’ lives that permit building explanations and expanding theorizing. Though the number of study participants included in studies that use this approach tend to be small and usually are selected non-randomly\, the depth and richness of the data are believed to compensate for the small number of participants and their non-representative nature. This workshop will discuss the use of in-depth interviews in the study of immigration and immigrant communities\, focusing on the variation of this method as it is used in different geographic and spatial settings and across broader political and structural contexts. It will rely on examples of studies in Central American immigrant communities in the United States. \nBio: Prof. Menjívar is a Professor and Dorothy L. Meier Social Equities Chair\, her research focuses on the structural roots of inequalities and on how individuals’ social locations shape their responses to such conditions. \nMore on Prof. Menjívar  \nA recording of the presentation can be found here.

SUMMARY:"Voting after Shelby: Did pre-clearance matter?" Ariel White\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:“Voting after Shelby: Did pre-clearance matter?”\nAriel White\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology \n(co-authored with Mayya Komisarchik) \nAbstract: Nearly five decades after the passage of the Voting Rights Act\, the law was dramatically changed by the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County v. Holder. The court effectively removed the “preclearance” process that had required places with a history of racial discrimination to get Justice Department approval before changing their voting procedures. Dissenting justices and voting-rights advocates feared that this decision could lead to massive changes to election administration and ultimately to lower rates of voter participation in minority communities. In this paper\, we evaluate the impact of this decision on election practices and on Black and Hispanic voter registration and turnout. We use a combination of administrative data on registration and voting\, survey data on mobilization and local election administration\, and state legislative records to examine different facets of the voting rights landscape after the Court’s decision. \nBio: Prof. White research focuses on voting and voting rights\, race\, the criminal justice system\, and bureaucratic behavior. Prof. White’s work uses large datasets to measure individual-level experiences\, and to shed light on people’s everyday interactions with government. \nMore on Prof. White

SUMMARY:"Integrating Refugees: The Role of Language Training and Work Incentives\," Giovanni Peri\, UC Davis
DESCRIPTION:“Integrating Refugees: The Role of Language Training and Work Incentives”\nGiovanni Peri\, UC Davis\nAbstract: Social and economic integration of refugees are key to their personal success and to producing positive effects in the host country. We evaluate the effects of a reform that substantially expanded language training for immigrants who obtained refugee status in Denmark on or after January 1\, 1999. The same reform also temporarily decreased welfare benefits for a subgroup of them. Using a regression discontinuity design around the cutoff date we find positive and significant employment and earnings effects on the treated group\, relative to the untreated group. Employment increased by 23 percent (4 percentage points) and yearly earnings increased by 34 percent (USD 2\,500) when measured eighteen years after the start of the language program. We do not find any labor market effect of the reduction of welfare benefits. We find\, however\, evidence of temporarily higher property crimes for the group subject to lower benefits. The labor market effects are much stronger for individuals with Arabic/Dari mother language\, consistently with a more crucial role of language training for speakers of languages that are very different from Danish. Finally\, male children of treated refugees were more likely to complete lower secondary school and less likely to commit crime. \nBio: Giovanni Peri has expertise in labor economics\, urban economics and the economics of international migrations.

SUMMARY:Census Research Data Center
DESCRIPTION:The RDC allows researchers to access confidential data from a growing number of federal statistical agencies\, including the Census Bureau\, the National Center for Health Statistics\, the Bureau of Labor Statistics\, the Bureau of Economic Analysis\, and the Internal Revenue Service. This includes more fine-grained regional information and variables with respect to public data and administrative sources only available at the RDC. The presentation will give an overview of available data on health\, social\, economic outcomes of individuals\, the economic behavior of firms\, workplace safety\, and trade statistics\, among others (see below for a high-level preview). We will also discuss the process of applying for data from different agencies. A Question and Answer session will take place at the end.In part due to the Commission on Evidence-Based Policy and in part due to increasing efforts to merge new data sources\, the available information at the RDC is growing. It will likely grow further\, among others because of potential new privacy restrictions on future Census data.Take this opportunity to learn about data available and the process to accessing it. If you cannot make it at the date and time\, a video of the presentations and the slides will be posted on the RDC’s website.

SUMMARY:CCPR Census Workshop Series Part 1: How the US 2020 Decennial Census Affects You and Your Research
DESCRIPTION:The two-word goal of “count everyone” is simply stated\, but difficult. In this workshop we will give a broad overview of the many moving parts connected to the US decennial operation. Although fair apportionment is the primary motivator for a complete enumeration\, we highlight how the 2020 decennial also serves as an important backbone for future products such as sample surveys used in demographic research. Along the discussion\, we will point out difficulties along with the demographic and statistical methods used to address them. Participants are encouraged to discuss their experiences\, questions and concerns. \n  \nSlides can be viewed at the link below \nhttps://ucla.app.box.com/v/slides-census-pt1

SUMMARY:"How Deep is the COVID-19 Recession? Evidence from Kenya and Beyond" Edward Miguel\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“How Deep is the COVID-19 Recession? Evidence from Kenya and Beyond”\nEdward Miguel\, UC Berkeley\nAbstract: Despite numerous journalistic accounts\, systematic quantitative evidence on the evolution of economic conditions during the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic remains scarce for most low and middle income countries\, in part due to the limitations of official economic statistics in environments with large informal sectors and subsistence agriculture. I will focus on novel evidence from a detailed and large-scale panel data collection effort in rural Kenya\, documenting the evolution of living standards over time as well as the effects of an earlier cash transfer program. I also discuss results from over 30\,000 respondents in an ensemble of 16 original household survey samples collected in nine countries in Africa\, Asia\, and Latin America. The data documents declines in employment and income across socioeconomic strata beginning in March 2020\, resulting in widespread food insecurity and the risk of persistent adverse effects\, especially among children and other vulnerable groups. \nBio: Prof. Miguel’s research focus is African economic development\, including work on the economic causes and consequences of violence; the impact of ethnic divisions on local collective action; interactions between health\, education\, environment\, and productivity for the poor; and methods for transparent social science research. \nMore on Prof. Miguel

SUMMARY:"The political context and infant health in the United States" Florencia Torche\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:“The political context and infant health in the United States”\nFlorencia Torche\, Stanford University \nAbstract: Political factors could have substantial consequences for the health and wellbeing of populations. In the United States\, an important political factor is the party of the president. The two main parties differ in their ideologies and policy agendas\, and these differences have sharpened since the 1960s. We examine the effect of prenatal exposure to the political party in office at the national level (president’s party) and the state level (governor’s party) on infant health between 1971 and 2018\, considering the heterogeneity and timing of these effects. Fixed effects models show a beneficial effect of a Democratic president but no effect of a Democratic governor on birth outcomes. The benefit of in-utero exposure to a Democratic president is much stronger for Black infants than White infants. The effect of the president’s party does not materialize immediately after the inauguration. Rather\, it takes approximately two years to fully emerge\, and it remains elevated until the end of the party’s tenure in office. The effect is robust across specifications and only partially mediated by a battery of measurable social policies. Our findings suggest that the party in power is an important determinant of infant health\, particularly among vulnerable populations. \nBio: Florencia Torche is a social scientist with substantive interests in social demography\, stratification\, and education. Professor Torche’s scholarship encompasses two related areas. A longer-term area of research studies inequality dynamics — the dynamics that result in persistence of inequality across generations — with a particular focus on educational attainment\, assortative mating (who marries who)\, and the intergenerational transmission of wealth. \nMore on Prof. Torche

SUMMARY:Book Talk: The Voucher Promise\, Eva Rosen
DESCRIPTION:The Voucher Promise examines the Housing Choice Voucher Program\, colloquially known as “Section 8\,” and how it shapes the lives of families living in a Baltimore neighborhood called Park Heights. Eva Rosen tells stories about the daily lives of homeowners\, voucher holders\, renters who receive no housing assistance\, and the landlords who provide housing. While vouchers are a powerful tool with great promise\, she demonstrates how the housing policy can replicate the very inequalities it has the power to solve. \nIn Los Angeles\, approximately 57\,000 households have Housing Choice Vouchers at a cost of $660 million in 2019. The last time the voucher waitlist was opened\, for a 10-day period in 2017\, the city received 188\,000 applications for only 20\,000 spots\, highlighting the great demand for housing assistance in LA. Vouchers are awarded by lottery to households on the waitlist. \nJoin the Lewis Center on Sept. 9 for a conversation with Rosen about her new book\, the successes and failures of the housing voucher program\, and the role vouchers and other forms of housing assistance are playing during the COVID-19 pandemic and looming eviction crisis. \nModerator: Michael Lens\nAssociate Faculty Director\, Lewis Center\nAssociate Professor\, Urban Planning and Public Policy \nEvent Info\nWednesday\, Sept. 9\nNoon – 1 p.m. PDT \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Silvia Helena Barcellos\, University of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Is Education the Great Equalizer? \nAbstract: We investigate the role of education in equalizing differences in socio-economic status (SES) across groups determined by two at-birth “lotteries:” birthplace and genetics. Birthplace and genetics are strongly related to long-term SES and education is believed to be a way to overcome disadvantages on such initial endowments. We ask how the effects of a compulsory schooling law-induced increase in secondary education vary with the quality of an individual’s birth neighborhood and their polygenic score for educational attainment. We use a regression discontinuity framework and a large sample that allows for well-powered estimates of such interactions. While the law change reduced differences in educational attainment across birthplace and genetic groups\, it increased existing differences in middle age SES. In particular\, the extra education benefited those with high genetic scores the most\, doubling the gradient between the polygenic score and SES. Our findings suggest that compulsory schooling policies\, while equalizing educational attainment\, might have limited ability in reducing lifecycle SES inequalities by genetics and birthplace. \nFind out more about Prof. Barcellos \nZoom Recording Available Here \nLocation: Presented remotely via Zoom
