Carbon Tax at the Pump in British Columbia and Quebec
British Columbia and Quebec introduced a carbon tax on the sale of retail gasoline in July 2008 and October 2007, respectively.

This amplified response might have been the consequence of a constant carbon tax after July 2012. In comparison, we find weak evidence that the …
Who Has the Motherlode of Health? A Comparative Study of Socio-economic Inequalities in Health among Mothers of Young Children
This study examines cross-national differences in socio-economic inequalities in mothers’ health.

Hypotheses are tested using Latent Growth Curve Models for the effects of education on mothers’ self-rated health trajectories; estimates are then comp…
Income inequality and self-rated health status: Evidence from the european community household panel
We examine the effect of income inequality on individualś self-rated health status in a pooled sample of 11 countries, using longitudinal data from the European Community Household Panel survey. Taking advantage of the longitudinal and cross-national nature of our data, and carefully modeling the self-reported health information, we avoid several of the pitfalls suffered by earlier studies on this topic. We calculate income inequality indices mea…
