Do maltreated children think of suicide more? Evidence from South Korea
Despite extensive research on adolescent mental health, the effects of maltreatment by parents on suicidal thoughts in children remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap using data from the Korean Youth Panel Survey and a quasi-experimental difference-in-differences methodology with a staggered treatment design and individual fixed effects. Our results indicate that self-reported child maltreatment is associated with an average incre…
Housing insecurity, financial hardship and mental health
We examine the impact of housing insecurity on mental health. We use missed rental payments due to a shortage of money as a direct measure of housing insecurity and a difference-in-differences framework that allows us to differentiate the effect of housing insecurity from the effect of experiencing financial hardship more generally. We find that housing insecurity causes a decline in mental health. Further analysis reveals two important dimension…

Remaking China’s Global Image with the Belt and Road Initiative: Is the Jury Out
In this article, the authors investigate how the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) may affect China’s global image. They find evidence that international opinions on China are diverse but not polarized. They also find that the BRI has curried favor for China in the related countries. On average, the BRI increases the net public approval rating of the Chinese leadership in these countries by 15 percentage points. Interestingly, the BRI arouses approv…

Retirement saving and mental health in China
The Chinese population is aging rapidly while both the pension system is underdeveloped and the traditional family care arrangement is in retreat. This article's objective is to assess the relationship between concerns over retirement saving sufficiency and the mental health status of middle-aged and older Chinese adults, and identify the socioeconomic and demographic profile of those with insufficient retirement savings. A survey from about 2000…
The effect of economic insecurity on mental health: Recent evidence from Australian panel data
Will China's Cooperative Medical System fail again? Insight from farmer satisfaction survey
This paper studied the sustainability of China's New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NCMS) by evaluating the satisfaction rate of its participants-the farmers. The study related the overall satisfaction of the farmers to their satisfaction with the four different aspects of the program. It also identified which personal and program attributes affect the farmers' satisfaction rate. Survey data of 1278 households from 66 counties in Shandong Prov…
A New Multidimensional Measure of Development: The Role of Technology and Institutions
Impacts of academic R&D on high-tech manufacturing products: Tentative Evidence From Supercomputer Data
This paper empirically examines the impact of academic research on high-tech manufacturing growth of 28 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and emerging countries over the 1991–2005 period. A standard research and development (R&D) expenditure based measure is found to be too general to capture the input in high-tech research. To overcome this problem, a novel proxy for high-tech research investment – the supercomputer c…

Has HIV/Aids displaced other health funding priorities? Evidence from a new dataset of development aid for health
Why does the USA dominate university league tables
According to the Academic Ranking of World Universities, the world’s top 500 universities are located in only 38 countries, with the USA alone having 157 of them. This article investigates the socioeconomic determinants of the wide performance gap between countries, and whether the USA’s dominance is largely due to its economic power. A large amount of cross-country variation in university performance can be explained by just four socioeconomic f…
Rethinking the measurement of capital flight: An application to Asian economies
This paper improves on the widely used residual method in order to estimate the magnitude of capital flight in eight Asian economies over the period of 1980–2004. The paper argues that as capital flight is a drain on financial resources for development, it is more appropriate to measure it against the size of the financial market, which can be proxied by money aggregate, in contrast to the common practice of measuring it as a percentage of gross …
