This study sets out to verify the key predictors of the dynamics of the arable production per capita index, the arable production and permanent crop land and forest area at a national scale in Cameroon. To achieve this objective, data for twelve time series data variables spanning the period 1961-2000 were collected from Oxford University, the United Nations Development program, the World Bank,...

We used panel data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey to investigate the impact of health insurance programs on reducing out-of-pocket expenditures. We employed three linear panel data models, two of which accounted for endogeneity: pooled ordinary least squares (OLS), pooled two-stage least squares (2SLS) for instrumental variable (IV), and fixed effects (FE). The study revealed that two h...

We show how to nonparametrically identify the distribution that characterizes heterogeneity among agents in a general class of structural choice models. We introduce an axiom that we term separability and prove that separability of a structural model ensures identification. The main strength of separability is that it makes verifying the identification of nonadditive models a tractable task bec...

Objectives Previous research has neglected to consider whether trends in immigration are related to changes in the nature of homicide. This is important because there is considerable variability in the temporal trends of homicide subtypes disaggregated by circumstance. In the current study, we address this issue by investigating whether withincity changes in immigration are related to temporal ...

The sustainable social enterprises (SEs) literature shows that SEs have to simultaneously pursue economic, social, and environmental aims. However, tensions between these objectives can make this a challenging task lead towards mission drift. This work investigates if the cultural dimension forecast We empirically analyze relationship in three stages. In first stage, we identify homogeneous dat...

This study examines the link between a firm’s energy efficiency and their participation in global value chains (GVCs). Both countries’ GVCs positioning indices are designed to define features of chains. We begin with theoretical approach how GVC influences efficiency. The sample size 54 nations from 2000 2019 is then investigated for empirical analysis using FE 2SLS methods. results show that i...

This paper examines the relationship between immigration and host countries' institutional quality, using international migration data for a sample of 130 countries over 1990–2015 period. We employ two composite metrics political institutions, encompassing multiple dimensions governance. To reduce endogeneity concerns, related to immigrant settlement patterns, we pseudo-gravity-based instrument...

This paper develops a simple theoretical model and offers empirical evidence of urban segregation on consumption inequality between rural-to-urban migrants residents. Our analyses are based the 2007 China Household Income Project (CHIP) 2017 Migrants Dynamics Survey (CMDS) data. Results obtained from propensity score matching 2SLS methods show that caused by hukou system leads to significant Hu...

This study attempts to investigate the factors determining COVID-19 deaths during pandemic across countries by employing a rich dataset sourced from 94 updated till 6 February, 2022. For empirical analysis, makes use of cross-sectional linear regression technique in first part and after required diagnostic tests 2SLS for correcting possible endogeneity bias second part. Findings indicate that l...

In this paper, we study whether Swiss employers substitute between training apprentices and hiring cross-border workers. Because both skilled workers are costly for firms, hypothesize that (easier) access to will lead some away from their own We account potential endogeneity issues by instrumenting a firm’s share of using distance the national border therefore its possibility fall back on satis...
