This paper explores the role of migration in creating geographical inequalities in mortality at the district level in Britain for the British Household Panel Study sample--a representative sample of 10264 British residents born after 1890 and enumerated in 1991. Analysis of the mortality rates of migrants showed that male migration accounts for nearly all the differences in mortality rates betw...
This paper studies the effect of school finance reforms on the distribution of school spending across richer and poorer districts, and the consequences of spending equalization for the relative test performance of students from different family backgrounds. We find that states where the school finance system was declared unconstitutional in the 1980s increased the relative funding of low-income...
This paper examines how education policy generates residential sorting and changes residential land price inequality within a city. In 1974, Seoul shifted away from an exam based high school admission system, created high school districts and randomly allocated students to schools within each district. I examine how residential land prices change across school districts using a first difference...
PURPOSE Following surveys in 2004-2006 in 50 high-risk districts of mainland Tanzania, trachoma was still suspected to be widespread elsewhere. We report on baseline surveys undertaken from 2012 to 2014. METHODS A total of 31 districts were surveyed. In 2012 and 2013, 12 at-risk districts were selected based on proximity to known trachoma endemic districts, while in 2014, trachoma rapid asses...
OBJECTIVE The goal was to determine whether the increasing prevalence of autism, on the basis of educational data, in Wisconsin between 2002 and 2008 was uniform in all school districts or was greatest in districts with lower baseline (2002) prevalence. METHODS Special education counts were obtained for all Wisconsin elementary school districts from 2002 through 2008. The annual prevalence of...
The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Districts) operate 11 wastewater treatment facilities. Ten of these facilities are classified as water reclamation plants (WRPs) producing approximately 200 million gallons per day (MGD) of reclaimed water suitable for reuse. The Districts' Palmdale WRP treats approximately 10 MGD using primary treatment followed by stabilization ponds. This facil...
§ Introduction and Overview The Tiebout (1956) model assumes that households choose their community of residence in part by the quality of its public schools. For the model to operate efficiently, school districts should be numerous. In 1916, there were over 200,000 public school districts in the United States. By 2005, there were fewer than 15,000. Most observers regard this decline as evidenc...
BACKGROUND Recognizing the growing childhood overweight problem, a number of school-based strategies, including policy approaches, have been proposed and are being implemented to address the problem considering the amount of time children spend in schools. This paper describes the results of a pilot study that tested approaches to collecting U.S. school district policy information regarding phy...
BACKGROUND 1974-2005 studies across Sierra Leone showed onchocerciasis endemicity in 12 of 14 health districts (HDs) and baseline studies 2005-2008 showed lymphatic filariasis (LF) endemicity in all 14 HDs. Three integrated annual mass drug administration (MDA) were conducted in the 12 co-endemic districts 2008-2010 with good geographic, programme and drug coverage. Midterm assessment was condu...
BACKGROUND Hookworm infections are significant public health issues in South-East Asia. In women of reproductive age, chronic hookworm infections cause iron deficiency anaemia, which, upon pregnancy, can lead to intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight. Low birth weight is an important risk factor for neonatal and infant mortality and morbidity. METHODOLOGY We investigated the ass...
