Why does comfort food comfort? A qualitative inquiry
The term “comfort food” refers to a phenomenon in which certain foods – especially during times of loneliness or stress, and particularly favorite dishes from childhood – may provide palliative emotional benefits distinct from their nutritional sustenance. Although the concept is widely observed and acknowledged, its mechanisms are not well understood. If comfort food does indeed provide comfort, then why and how? This project employs interviews …
Loss of Life and Labor Productivity: The Canadian Opioid Crisis
Opioids were declared a public health emergency in British Columbia, Canada, in 2016, and from that year through 2021, 29,894 Canadians lost their lives to opioid overdoses. More than two-thirds of those victims were employed in the five years prior to their deaths, and this study aims to quantify their lost productivity to the Canadian economy. We apply two human capital model variants in our analysis, projecting forward the future economic outp…
How Local Economic Conditions Affect School Finances, Teacher Quality, and Student Achievement: Evidence from the Texas Shale Boom
Whether improved local economic conditions lead to better student outcomes is theoretically ambiguous and will depend on how schools use additional revenues and how students and teachers respond to rising private sector wages. The Texas boom in shale oil and gas drilling, with its large and localized effects on wages and the tax base, provides a unique opportunity to address this question that spans the areas of education, labor markets, and publ…
Does the retirement consumption puzzle differ across the distribution
Local labor market impacts of energy boom-bust-boom in Western Canada
Identifying the Poorest Older Americans
The poorest among the older population are those who are income and consumption poor. Understanding the nature of this double poverty population is important in measuring the success of future public policies to reduce poverty among this group
No Place Like Home: Older Adults and Their Housing
The results suggest that the consumption of cohorts of older Americans does not decrease dramatically over a 20-year period and that they are also not converting their housing assets into other types of income or consumption, at least up to age 80. A number of reasons, including the bequest motive and the life cycle hypothesis, might explain this behavior
Ranking inequality: Applications of multivariate subset selection
