Deteriorating Mental Well‐Being of the Young in the UK
Using several data sets for the UK we track rising perceptions of mental well‐being among the working‐age population in the UK. The trend is apparent among all age groups and for men and women, but it is most pronounced among the young, and especially young women aged under 25. Young men's mental well‐being began to fall markedly from 2008 whereas young women's mental ill‐health began to deteriorate a few years later. The age profile of mental we…
Differential effects of the lockdown on labour market outcomes. Evidence for an emerging economy
COVID-19 created a market reconfiguration scenario: the match between supply and demand was disrupted due to social distancing measures. This investigation provides empirical evidence on the impacts of the pandemic on unemployment, wages, hours worked, and recent unemployment in an emerging economy like Colombia. The pandemic does not substantially amplify the negative / regrettable variation of the variables as it is due to a structural problem.…
The U‐shape of happiness in Scotland
We examine well‐being in Scotland using micro data from the Scottish Health Survey and the UK Annual Population Surveys. We find evidence of a midlife nadir or zenith in Scotland in well‐being at around age 50 using a variety of measures of both happiness and unhappiness. We confirm that higher consumption of fruit and vegetables is associated with higher levels of happiness in Scotland. We compare this with evidence for England from the Health S…
Underemployment in the United States and Europe
The authors produce estimates for a new and better rate of underemployment for 25 countries using the European Labor Force Survey that is based on workers’ reports of their preferred hours at the going wage. Both voluntary and involuntary part-time workers report they want more hours. Full-time workers who say they want to change their hours, mostly say they want to reduce them. When the Great Recession hit, the number of hours of those who said …
Starting from scratch? A new approach to subnational public finance
The arrangements for lower level governments to finance public goods are complex. Combinations of grant mechanisms and local taxes are often regarded as unfair, opaque or ineffective, and therefore tend to lack legitimacy. This paper explores the design of a new fiscal framework for regional public finance, building from principles rather than an ad hoc political process. It also considers the possibility that a region may choose to leave the fed…

Migration and fiscal policy as factors explaining the labour-market resilience of UK regions to the Great Recession
London has been at the vanguard of the UK’s recovery from recession, recovering its pre-recession levels of output and employment more rapidly than other regions. A large part of London’s stronger recovery can be explained by increased employment and reduced inactivity among overseas-born immigrants. Furthermore, net outmigration from London to other UK regions fell during the recession, and is only beginning to return to previous levels. Both fa…
Territorial Finance and the Future of Barnett
This article traces the changing funding relationships between Scotland and the UK government. Beginning from the Barnett Formula, it examines how the changing support within Scotland for greater political autonomy from Westminster has influenced the mechanisms that have determined Scotland's fiscal structure. Increasing support for the SNP , and then for the Yes campaign in the September 2014 independence referendum, has led to a mixture of new …

Individual and Geographic Factors in the Formation of Care Networks in the UK
This paper argues that geography plays a crucial role in the formation of care networks. The role of informal carers will become increasingly important as the population ages and a better understanding of the drivers and outcome of these locational decisions is important. We use data from the British Household Panel Survey to explore the characteristics of common forms of care network; to investigate the factors that may influence the type of car…
Long‐Term Care and the Housing Market
This study examines the combined effects of population ageing and changes in long‐term care policy on the housing market. Those needing care prefer to receive it at home rather than in institutional settings. Public authorities prefer to provide care in residential settings, which are generally lower cost than institutional care. The trend away from institutional provision towards care at home is endorsed by national governments and by the OECD .…
Young people and the Great Recession
This article reviews the effects of the Great Recession on youth labour markets. We argue that young people aged 16–24 have suffered disproportionately during the recession. Using the USA and UK as case studies, we analyse youth unemployment using micro-data. We find that there is convincing evidence that the effects of unemployment when young impose costs on individuals and society well into the future. Although the effects of current policies o…
Grey area
In this commentary, I pick up on selected themes and issues raised by Woods and Gardner’s (2011) article and also draw on my own experiences of ‘grey research’. My focus is on the messy and mundane realities of this work, and I suggest that we need something of an ‘emotional turn’ in policy research, to rethink what this work means to us and how it makes us feel. This is a different way of thinking about ‘impact’ than the usual one deployed by, a…

Deaf Children's Informal Knowledge of Multiplicative Reasoning
Multiplicative reasoning is required in different contexts in mathematics: it is necessary to understand the concept of multipart units, involved in learning place value and measurement, and also to solve multiplication and division problems. Measures of hearing children's multiplicative reasoning at school entry are reliable and specific predictors of their mathematics achievement in school. An analysis of deaf children's informal multiplicative…

The hospitable city
Recent theoretical discussions of the ‘spaces of hospitality’ have remained largely abstract, and have also ignored the commercial hospitality industry. At the same time, commercial hospitality is becoming increasingly important for the branding and promoting of cities. This paper highlights the connection between urban regeneration, commercial food and drink spaces, and the idea of the ‘hospitable city’ as it is conceived in both theoretical wri…
The Scots May Be Brave but They Are Neither Healthy Nor Happy
On almost all measures of physical health, Scots fare worse than residents of any other region of the UK and often worse than the rest of Europe. Deaths from chronic liver disease and lung cancer are particularly prevalent in Scotland. The self‐assessed well‐being of Scots is lower than that of the English or Welsh, even after taking into account any differences in characteristics. Scots also suffer from higher levels of self‐assessed depression …

Authenticating Queer Space
The focus of this paper is the impact of the 'new urban order' on sexualised spaces in cities. The paper explores how sexual 'others' are conscripted into the process of urban transformation and, by turn, how city branding has become part of the sexual citizenship agenda. The interweaving of urban governance and sexual citizenship agendas produces particular kinds of sexual spaces, at the exclusion of other kinds. The paper considers the extent t…

Wages, Hours, and Overtime Premia
Unlike the United States, Britain has no national laws regulating overtime hour assignment or compensation. Using individual-level data on male non-managerial workers from the 1998 British New Earnings Survey, the authors investigate relationships among the standard hourly wage rate, hourly earnings (including overtime), the overtime premium, and the length of overtime hours. They find that when overtime is accounted for, average hourly wage earn…

Nonparametric Regression and Causality Testing
In this paper we propose a new procedure for causality testing using nonparametric additive models. We argue that the major advantage of our proposed method is that it can be used if the underlying data generation process (DGP) is either linear or nonlinear. Our results show that the nonparametric testing procedure provides a more robust test of causality. Furthermore, we show that the loss of power associated with the nonparametric procedure is …
Unpaid Work
A substantial number of employees work additional non‐contract hours for no pay. We advance several economic explanations for this phenomenon. Empirical work is based on the UK Labour Force Survey for 1993/94. We establish the quantitative importance of unpaid work on overtime hours and hourly earnings for both males and females. We demonstrate, via Mincer wage growth equations, that accounting for unpaid work leads to significantly revised estim…
