Covid-19 symptom duration
Introduction The prevalence and duration of symptoms following COVID-19 infection vary substantially across individuals. However, little is known about the relationship between workers' job characteristics and the persistence of post-COVID symptoms. This study investigated the prevalence and duration of symptoms following COVID-19 infection and examined their associations with occupational characteristics. Methods We conducted a large-scale retro…
The Unexpected Side Effects of Lockdowns on Those Barely Inside and Outside of Lockdown Areas
This study implements a geographical regression discontinuity design to estimate the impact of Japan's anti‐COVID‐19 policy, which imposed what is called “a state of emergency” (SOE). This policy can be considered a ‘mild lockdown’ without any geographical restriction. In January 2021, an SOE was declared in 11 out of Japan's 47 prefectures. We utilised the fact that the risk of infection and other factors were geographically continuous across th…
Medium-run effects of patient cost-sharing on the demand-side and supply-side of inpatient care
Public investment on health and voter responses
This study examines the effect of COVID-19 vaccination on political support by leveraging Japan’s age-based vaccination rollout, which prioritized people aged 65 and older.

These favorable opinions extended to positive perceptions of other infection control m…
