Health infrastructure, stringent preventive measures by the government and public participation through adhering to social distancing have influence to check on fatalities' burden. The level of Social capital as well as voters' participation in a particular country can have influence on containment of COVID cas…

Why Children Work, Attend School, or Stay Idle: The Roles of Ability and Household Wealth
This paper offers a theoretical and empirical analysis of child labor, schooling, and idleness (neither work nor school), with particular emphasis on the roles of child ability and household wealth in determining these decisions. We show theoretically that “idleness” may be chosen optimally by low‐income households whose child is of low ability. Using a rich data set from the Philippines, we find that while other factors—including mother’s labor …
Temporary shocks and offshoring: The role of external economies and firm heterogeneity
Globalisation vs Skill‐Biased Technological Change: Implications for Unemployment and Wage Inequality
Globalisation and skill-biased technological change have emerged as alternative explanations for the increase in US wage inequality since 1980. We investigate the static and dynamic effects of these shocks on unemployment across skill classes using a model of search unemployment. Although we confirm that globalisation and skill-biased technological change both lead to increases in wage inequality, we show that these shocks may have different effe…
