摘要：We examine the effect of government subsidies for long-term care (LTC) on healthcare utilization and health outcomes in Korea, which exhibits one of the fastest rates of population aging. Using a regression discontinuity design, our intent-to-treat estimates indicate that eligibility for subsidized LTC services reduces out-of-pocket medical and prescription drug spending by about 20% and 16% of the baseline mean, respectively, and lowers the likelihood of inpatient hospital admission by about ...

摘要：We evaluate two randomized controlled trials in Bhutan testing whether near-peer mentoring can shift students' educational preferences toward STEM and TVET pathways. Mentors provided personalized guidance, shared their own experiences, and offered information on admissions and labor market outcomes. The interventions significantly increased students' interest and perceived knowledge, but had limited effects on actual applications or enrollment. In the STEM stream, limited follow-through appear...

摘要：The adoption of advanced technologies has transformed regulatory enforcement by enhancing data collection and accuracy across industries. However, these technological advancements have introduced new challenges in data reliability, as regulated firms possess superior technical control to generate favorable but inaccurate readings. This paper examines the effects of third-party auditing in addressing these challenges by analyzing China's deployment of the data quality control system (DQCS) with...

摘要：Since 2012, DACA has provided deportation relief and work authorization to immigrants brought to the United States as children. This study examines how legal and political uncertainty-triggered by the Trump administration's 2017 rescission announcement-reshaped recipients' economic and social outcomes. Using difference-in-differences and event-study methods, we show that early gains in employment and earnings eroded sharply under heightened uncertainty. In contrast, responses along other margi...

摘要：This paper examines the effect of granting undocumented immigrants driver's licenses on fatal crashes. Using county-level crash data from the Fatality and Injury Reporting System Tool, I leverage the quasi-randomness of the timing of the driver's license reforms adoption across states to identify the causal effect of driver's license reforms. My findings show that granting undocumented immigrants driver's licenses increases overall fatal crashes by nearly 5%, equivalent to 0.46 more fatal cras...

摘要：We examine the causal effect of improvements in access to mental care providers on suicide rates in the United States. We track the universe of practice locations of psychiatric and psychological health care providers from 2016 to 2019. We construct a county-level index to measure proximity to these facilities, accounting for local variations in demand for and supply of mental health care services. To address the endogeneity between the location of these medical facilities in a given county, w...

摘要：Technology-facilitated courses, completed online for the purpose of credit recovery (OCR), are the most common means through which US high school students retake courses required for high school graduation. Yet a growing body of research has raised concerns regarding student learning in these courses, with low-quality assessments posited as a limiting factor. As course assessments are fundamental to evaluating student mastery and supporting student learning, we investigate this concern by syst...
