  • Prevalence of post Covid-19 condition and associations with risk factors among U.S. adults

    Open AccessG W Heath, David I Levine et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction During the COVID-19 pandemic, between 12 and 20% of US adults were identified as having post-COVID-19 condition, commonly referred to as ‘Long COVID’. These individuals maintained symptoms of COVID-19 for 3 months or longer following their illness but lacked an active infection. Using the Center for Disease Control’s 2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, our hypotheses were that adults who did not meet the 2018 Physical Ac…

  • The cost-effectiveness of community health workers delivering free diarrhoea treatment

    Open AccessZachary Wagner, Rushil Zutshi et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2022

    Community health workers (CHWs) are a vital part of the health infrastructure in Uganda and in many other low- and middle-income countries. While the need for CHWs is clear, it is less clear how they should dispense health products to maximize the health benefits to their community. In this study, we assess the cost-effectiveness of several competing CHW distribution strategies in the context of treatment for child diarrhoea. We used data from a …

  • The refill gap

    Open AccessBodie Cabiyo, Indrajit Ray et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    From 2016 to 2019, the Indian Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) distributed over 80 million liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stoves, making it the largest clean cooking program ever. Yet, evidence shows widespread continued use of the traditional chulha , negating the potential health benefits of LPG. Here we use semi-structured interviews with female and male adults to understand the drivers of LPG usage in Mulbagal, Karnataka, the site of a pro…

  • Cross-subsidies for improved sanitation in low income settlements

    Open AccessCharisma Acey, Joyce Kisiangani et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 6

    Most residents of the developing world do not have access to safely managed sanitation services, and large financial investments are required to address this need. Here we evaluate surcharges on water/sewerage tariffs as an option for supporting these investments in low-income neighborhoods. We investigated willingness-to-pay (WTP) for a pro-poor sanitation surcharge among customers of two urban water utilities in Kenya. Applying qualitative and …

  • Spirit of Capitalism

    Open AccessDavid I Levine, David LevineCHAPTERPathology of the Capitalist Spirit2013

    For the early capitalist, the pleasure sought in acquisition was not in consuming wealth, but in owning it. Tis meant that the acquisitive spirit combined an intense desire to enjoy the pleasures of life with an equally intense urge to exert control over desire by negating it. For the modern-day capitalist, the acquisitive drive has been corrupted by a growing preoccupation with those ephemeral worldly enjoyments the early capitalist viewed with …

  • Customer Discrimination

    Jonathan S Leonard, David I Levine et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2010

    We test for customer discrimination with data from more than 800 retail stores employing over 70,000 individuals matched to census data on the demographics of each store's community. While our tests detect some increase in sales when the workforce more closely resembles potential customers, the effects we find are modest in magnitude. Customer discrimination is neither strong nor pervasive. We find little payoff to matching employee demographics …

  • How Well Do Social Ratings Actually Measure Corporate Social Responsibility?

    Open AccessAaron K Chatterji, Aaron Chatterji et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economics & Management…2009

    Ratings of corporations' environmental activities and capabilities influence billions of dollars of “socially responsible” investments as well as some consumers, activists, and potential employees. In one of the first studies to assess these ratings, we examine how well the most widely used ratings—those of Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini Research & Analytics (KLD)—provide transparency about past and likely future environmental performance. We find KLD…

  • Intention and Stochastic Outcomes

    Open AccessGary Charne, Gary Charness et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2007Citada por: 5Referencias: 34

    Do people care about intentions – even when good intentions do not produce good results? In our experiments we find that rates of punishment and reward react strongly to intentions (the wage a firm decides to pay) and more modestly to distributional outcomes (the higher or lower wage actually received including the stochastic component). For example, workers who end up receiving medium wages respond much more positively when this resulted from th…

  • Does Industrialization Build or Destroy Social Networks

    Edward Miguel, Paul Gertler et al.ARTICLEEconomic Development and Cultural…2006Citada por: 6Referencias: 21

    This article estimates the relationship between changes in industrialization and changes in social networks measures in Indonesia during 1985–97 using repeated cross sections of nationally representative surveys. We analyze a rich set of social interaction measures, including various measures of voluntary associational activity, levels of trust, and informal cooperation. Districts that experienced rapid industrialization showed significant increa…

  • The Effect of Diversity on Turnover

    Open AccessJonathan S Leonard, David I LevineARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2006Citada por: 7Referencias: 30

    Using longitudinal data collected in 1996-98 from over 800 similar workplaces owned and operated by one corporation, the authors examine how workplace diversity and employee isolation along the dimensions of gender, race, and age affected employee turnover. This design controls for much of the variation in job characteristics and labor markets that have confounded other studies of diversity. The authors use the non-linearity of diversity to disti…

  • Does Social Capital Promote Industrialization? Evidence from a Rapid Industrializer

    Edward Miguel, Paul Gertler et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2005

    A new stylized fact in development economics is the importance of social capital in promoting economic growth. This paper examines the effect of social capital on industrialization in Indonesia. We analyze a rich set of social capital and social interaction measures, including voluntary associational activity and levels of trust and informal cooperation. The main finding is that initial social capital does not predict subsequent industrial develo…

  • Schooling and Parental Death

    Paul Gertler, David I Levine et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2004

    Loss of a parent is one of the most traumatic events a child can face. If loss of a parent reduces investments in children, it can also have long-lasting implications. This study uses parametric and seminonpara-metric matching techniques to estimate how one human capital investment, school enrollment, is affected by a parent's recent death. We analyze data from 600,000 households from Indonesia's National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) during 199…

  • Do birds of a feather shop together? The effects on performance of employees' similarity with one another and with customers

    Open AccessJonathan S Leonard, David I Levine et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2004Citada por: 12Referencias: 9

    Theories have suggested that employee diversity can affect business performance both as a result of customer preferences and through changes of relations within the workplace. We examine these theories with data from more than 700 retail stores employing over 70 000 individuals, matched to census data on the demographics of the community. While past theories predict that increasing the similarity between employees and customers will increase sale…

  • Daddies, Devotion, and Dollars

    Open AccessGary Painter, David I LevineARTICLEAmerican Journal of Economics and…2004Citada por: 3Referencias: 27

    Growing up in a family that lacks a biological father is correlated with a number of poor outcomes for youths. This study uses the National Educational Longitudinal Survey of 1988 to examine the extent to which differences in income or parental involvement can explain the effects of family structure on youth outcomes. We find that measurement error in income from single-parent homes has a large effect on the results because of the variability in …

  • The Schooling Costs of Teenage Out-of-Wedlock Childbearing

    David I Levine, Gary PainterARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2003

    Teen out-of-wedlock mothers have lower education and earnings than do peers who have children later. This study uses the National Educational Longitudinal Survey of 1988 to examine the extent to which the apparent effects of out-of-wedlock teen childbearing are due to preexisting disadvantages of the young women and their families. We use a novel method that matches teen mothers to similar young women in their junior high school (that is, prior t…

  • Carve‐outs” from the workers' compensation system

    Open AccessDavid I Levine, Frank Neuhauser et al.ARTICLEJournal of Policy Analysis and…2002Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    Decentralized regulation has become increasingly important in many areas; examples range from school vouchers to workplace safety committees to alternative dispute resolution procedures replacing courts. Consistent with this trend, in 1993 California permitted construction unions and employers to “carve out” their own workers' compensation system. This study examines California's early experience with carve‐outs by analyzing two case studies, a s…
