Extreme Weather and Mortality of Vulnerable Urban Populations
Highlights This is the first study to examine the link between extreme temperatures and unclaimed deaths in New York City. Daily air and wet-bulb temperatures were paired with public burial records. A 1°F hotter 7-day summer period predicts 1.2% more unclaimed deaths. Decedents on extreme heat days in NYC were up to three times as likely to go unclaimed

The Role of Place of Birth and Residence in Puerto Rican Health Disparities
Objectives: This paper provides new estimates of disability prevalence for the archipelago and mainland-residing Puerto Rican populations ages 40 and above and compares disability by place of birth and place of residence to investigate drivers of middle and older age health. Methods: Large nationally representative samples from 2013 to 2017 American Community Survey and Puerto Rico Community Survey data are used to estimate age-specific disabilit…
School Disengagement, School‐Age Births and High School Graduation
BACKGROUND: Failure to complete secondary education often results from a process of educational disengagement. Studies of teen childbearing and high school completion have not adequately accounted for the role of school disengagement prior to conception and may overestimate causal impacts of teen childbearing. METHODS: We link New York City birth and school records to study a cohort of 22,484 Black and Latina public school students. We measure di…
Built environment as a risk factor for adult overweight and obesity
Indonesia has nearly doubled its urban population in the past three decades. In this period, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Indonesia has also nearly doubled. We examined 1993–2014 panel data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) to determine the extent to which the increase in one’s built environment contributed to a corresponding increase in adult overweight and obesity during this period. We estimated longitudinal regressi…
Do Disability Policies Shape How People Perceive Work Limitation? An International Perspective
This study explored the role that cross-country disability policy differences play in shaping individuals’ work limitation reporting styles. We used anchoring vignettes available in comparable U.S. and European survey data to test and adjust for reporting differences in self-reported work limitation measures. We found that disability policy generosity scores showed statistically significant predictive power for respondents’ work limitation classi…
Estimating the educational consequences of teenage childbearing
Disability policies and public views on work disability
Using data on disability vignettes from representative surveys in the U.S. and seven European countries, we conduct a comparative analysis of disability policies and public views on work limitations. We hypothesize that program characteristics are related to individuals’ perceptions about work limitations. Looking at how respondents across countries characterize identical disability vignettes, we find evidence that disability policy dimensions su…
Disability crossover
Hispanic immigrants have been found to be more likely to have a disability than US-born populations. Studies have primarily focused on populations aged 60 and older; little is known about immigrant disability at younger ages
Racial differences in the influence of female adolescents’ body size on dating and sex
Are Individuals’ Desired Family Sizes Stable? Evidence from West German Panel Data
The social security earnings test and work incentives
The labor supply and benefit claiming incentives provided by the early retirement rules of the Social Security Old Age benefits program are of growing importance as the Normal Retirement Age (NRA) increases to 67, the labor force participation of Older Americans rises, and a variety of reforms to the Social Security system are considered. Any reform needs to take into account the effects and rationale of the Social Security Earnings Test and the …
Family structure and wellbeing of out-of-wedlock children
This study examines the role of the relationship between the biological parents in determining child wellbeing using longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS). We extend prior research by considering children born to
