  • The Intergenerational Transmission of Policy Feedback in the United States: Evidence From Racial Violence

    Open AccessDavid J Schwegman, E Brunner et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review2025References: 31

    Do government actions, or inactions, committed decades (or centuries) ago toward a specific community influence how members of that community trust and perceive government today? Past government actions that extracted resources (a negative resource effect) and communicated an individual's place within American Society (a negative interpretative effect) may diminish trust. This paper explores this question by examining the relationship between the…

  • Citizen perceptions of public school efficiency: Evidence from the U.S

    E Brunner, Eric J Brunner et al.ARTICLEPublic Management Review2024

    Improving efficiency is the basis for important public school reforms. While there has been substantial scholarship examining the relationship between actual and perceived performance, there has been very little research examining this relationship for efficiency. We use a large and representative sample of U.S. residents and data on student achievement and public school spending to examine the relationship between actual and perceived efficiency…

  • JUE insight: The impact of school spending on civic engagement: Evidence from school finance reforms

  • The impact of demographic structure on citizen perceptions of school district efficiency

    E Brunner, Mark D Robbins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs2024References: 11

    Researchers have found that elderly white voters are less supportive of school spending if they reside in a community with a high concentration of non-white school children, a finding typically attributed to growing intergenerational and ethnic conflict between older and younger generations. We test whether white voters living in high minority areas are more likely to perceive their schools as being inefficient and find evidence of such racial mi…

  • Attachment to Government and Support for Government Debt

    E Brunner, Eric J Brunner et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Public…2023

    In this paper, we seek to improve models of support for taxes, spending and borrowing beyond income, ideology and party identification. We discuss how trust in government and willingness to pay taxes have been measured in research around the globe. We present the notion of attachment as how citizens characterize the quality of their relationship to government. We test our measure of attachment, using well-understood analogies, with a sample of ad…

  • The Effects of Career and Technical Education: Evidence from the Connecticut Technical High School System

    E Brunner, Eric J Brunner et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2023

    We examine the effect of attending stand-alone technical high schools in Connecticut using regression discontinuity. Male students are 10 percentage points more likely to graduate from high school and have half a semester less time enrolled in college. Male students have 32% higher average quarterly earnings. Earnings effects may in part reflect general skills: male students have higher attendance rates and test scores, industry fixed effects exp…

  • Trends in health and health inequality during the Japanese economic stagnation: Implications for a healthy planet

    Open AccessAyako Hiyoshi, Kaori Honjo et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023

    Although this study was a case study of one country, Japan, and inference to other countries cannot be made with certainty, the findings provide evidence that low economic growth over two decades did not inevitably translate to unfavourable population health. Japanese health inequalities according to income were stable during the study period. Therefore, this study highlighted the possibility that for high-income countries, low economic growth ma…

  • Association between socioeconomic status and the development of mental and physical health conditions in adulthood: A multi-cohort study

    Open AccessMika Kivimäki, George David Batty et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Public Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic disadvantage is a risk factor for many diseases. We characterised cascades of these conditions by using a data-driven approach to examine the association between socioeconomic status and temporal sequences in the development of 56 common diseases and health conditions. METHODS: In this multi-cohort study, we used data from two Finnish prospective cohort studies: the Health and Social Support study and the Finnish Public …

  • School Finance Reforms, Teachers' Unions, and the Allocation of School Resources

    E Brunner, Joshua Hyman et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2020

    School finance reforms caused some of the most dramatic increases in intergovernmental aid from states to local governments in U.S. history. We examine whether teachers' unions affected the fraction of reform-induced state aid that passed through to local spending and the allocation of these funds. Districts with strong teachers' unions increased spending nearly dollar-for-dollar with state aid and spent the funds primarily on teacher compensatio…

  • Association between socioeconomic status and incident stroke in China

    Open AccessWeiju Zhou, Ruoling Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2020References: 38

    BACKGROUND: Little is known about the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on incidence of stroke in China. This study aimed to examine the association of SES, which was measured by different indicators, with incidence of stroke and gender differences in the association. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two prospective cohort studies were conducted including 2852 participants aged ≥60 years in Anhui province and 3016 participants in four other provinces in C…

  • Property Tax Information and Support for School Bond Referenda: Experimental Evidence

    Open AccessE Brunner, Eric J Brunner et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review2020Cited by: 9References: 6

    This article reports on an experiment testing whether additional information influences support for bond referenda. Respondents were randomly assigned to treatment conditions that varied the way the potential implications of property tax increases were presented to voters. The results show a persistent negative effect of tax information on the probability of support for school bond referenda across all treatments. Specifically, the results show t…

  • World Health Organization cardiovascular disease risk charts: Revised models to estimate risk in 21 global regions

    Open AccessStephen Kaptoge, Lisa Pennells et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2019

    BACKGROUND: To help adapt cardiovascular disease risk prediction approaches to low-income and middle-income countries, WHO has convened an effort to develop, evaluate, and illustrate revised risk models. Here, we report the derivation, validation, and illustration of the revised WHO cardiovascular disease risk prediction charts that have been adapted to the circumstances of 21 global regions. METHODS: In this model revision initiative, we derived…

  • State Collective Bargaining Laws and Public-Sector Pay

    Open AccessE Brunner, Eric J Brunner et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2019References: 28

    Using the Public Use Microdata Sample from the 2005 to 2015 American Community Survey, the authors provide new evidence on how state collective bargaining laws affect public-sector wages. To isolate the causal effect of bargaining laws on public-sector pay, they examine wage differentials between otherwise similar public- and private-sector employees located in the same local labor market. They estimate difference-in-differences (DD) models that …

  • Gentrification and Failing Schools: The Unintended Consequences of School Choice under NCLB

    Stephen B Billings, E Brunner et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2018

    We examine the housing market and residential mobility changes that occur soon after a Title 1 school fails to achieve adequate yearly progress (AYP) in Charlotte, North Carolina. Students within attendance zones of failing schools are given priority in lotteries for oversubscribed schools, potentially increasing the attractiveness of living in a failing school attendance zone. We find that housing prices, home buyer income, and the probability o…

  • The nutrition transition in Mexico 1988–2016: The role of wealth in the social patterning of obesity by education

    Open AccessCarolina Perez-Ferrer, Anne Mcmunn et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

    Objective The present study investigates whether the reversal of the social gradient in obesity, defined as a cross-over to higher obesity prevalence among groups with lower education level, has occurred among men and women in urban and rural areas of Mexico. Design Cross-sectional series of nationally representative surveys (1988, 1999, 2006, 2012 and 2016). The association between education and obesity was investigated over the period 1988–2016…

  • Gendered trajectories of support from close relationships from middle to late life

    Open AccessJing Liao, Anne Mcmunn et al.ARTICLEAgeing and Society2018Cited by: 3References: 42

    This study investigates gender differences in trajectories of support from close relationships among adults in the transition from middle to old age, taking into account stability and change in the identity of the closest persons. Multi-level modelling was used to estimate gendered age-trajectories in three dimensions of support: emotional support, practical support and negative encounters, which were repeatedly measured over ten years amongst 6,…

  • Socioeconomic inequality in recovery from poor physical and mental health in mid-life and early old age: Prospective Whitehall II cohort study

    Open AccessAkihiro Tanaka, Martin J Shipley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2018References: 27

    BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the influence of socioeconomic status on recovery from poor physical and mental health. METHODS: Prospective study with four consecutive periods of follow-up (1991-2011) of 7564 civil servants (2228 women) recruited while working in London. Health was measured by the Short-Form 36 questionnaire physical and mental component scores assessed at beginning and end of each of four rounds. Poor health was defined b…

  • Development of a novel walkability index for London, United Kingdom: Cross-sectional application to the Whitehall II Study

    Open AccessJemima Stockton, Jemima C Stockton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Walkability was associated with walking time in adults. This walkability index could help urban planners identify and design neighbourhoods in London with characteristics more supportive of walking, thereby promoting public health

  • Dynamic Longitudinal Associations Between Social Support and Cognitive Function: A Prospective Investigation of the Directionality of Associations

    Open AccessJing Liao, Graciela Muniz-Terrera et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2016Cited by: 3References: 7

    This empirical study provides some evidence for the health selection mechanism, such that cognition modified changes in social support. The hypothesized neuroprotective effect of social support was not detectable

  • Association of socioeconomic position with smoking and mortality: The contribution of early life circumstances in the 1946 birth cohort

    Open AccessIngrid Giesinger, Peter Goldblatt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2014Cited by: 4References: 36

    BACKGROUND: A large part of the socioeconomic mortality gradient can be statistically accounted for by social patterning of adult health behaviours. However, this statistical explanation does not consider the early life origins of unhealthy behaviours and increased mortality risk. METHODS: Analysis is based on 2132 members of the MRC National Survey of Health and Development with mortality follow-up and complete data. Smoking behaviour was summar…
