Challenges in Evaluating the Relationship between Trust and Misinformation Using the Canadian Internet Use and Canadian Perspectives Surveys: Implications for Canadian Policies
L’étude évalue de façon empirique la relation entre, d'une part, les mesures de la confiance des particuliers à l’égard du gouvernement et, d'autre part, la vraisemblance que soient vérifiées des informations en ligne de toute nature et que ces informations soient partagées sans en vérifier l'exactitude. Les estimations par la méthode des moindres carrés ordinaires (MCO) issues de l'Enquête canadienne sur l'utilisation de l'Internet (ECUI) de 202…
Developing an Efficient Governance Framework for Synthetic Health Data for Canada
L'accès à des données de haute qualité dans le domaine de la santé reste un défi d'importance en raison des préoccupations liées à la vie privée, de réglementations strictes et de la fragmentation des systèmes de données. Les données synthétiques constituent une technologie prometteuse pour le renforcement de la protection de la vie privée, capable de faciliter l'innovation tout en préservant les informations de santé sensibles. Les données synth…
Investigating Neighbourhood-Level Effects of Vaccines on Covid-19 Outcomes and the Role of Socio-Economic Factors
De nombreuses études ont examiné de manière empirique l'efficacité des vaccins contre la maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) au Canada à l'aide de données nationales, provinciales ou régionales. Le présent article vient s'ajouter à la littérature sur le sujet en estimant les effets des taux de vaccination sur les cas de COVID-19 et les admissions à l'hôpital en exploitant les variations hebdomadaires dans 140 quartiers de Toronto entre novembre…
“Are Ye Fantastical?”: Shakespeare’s Weird W[omen] in the 21st-Century Indian Adaptations Maqbool, Mandaar and Joji
Shakespeare’s Macbeth has traveled a long way from its original milieu. This paper takes three major 21st-century Indian adaptions of Macbeth as its primary texts. The city of Mumbai in the west in Maqbool, an imaginary coastal Bengal village in the east in Mandaar, and the suburbs of Kerala in Joji in the south of the subcontinent become sites of “creative mistranslations” of the play. In this paper, we take the ambiguity that Shakespeare’s witc…
Forecasting daily Covid-19 cases with gradient boosted regression trees and other methods: Evidence from U.S. cities
Introduction: There is a vast literature on the performance of different short-term forecasting models for country specific COVID-19 cases, but much less research with respect to city level cases. This paper employs daily case counts for 25 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the U.S. to evaluate the efficacy of a variety of statistical forecasting models with respect to 7 and 28-day ahead predictions. Methods: This study employed Gradient B…
Estimating the Effects of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions and Population Mobility on Daily Covid-19 Cases: Evidence from Ontario
This study uses coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case counts and Google mobility data for 12 of Ontario's largest Public Health Units from Spring 2020 until the end of January 2021 to evaluate the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs; policy restrictions on business operations and social gatherings) and population mobility on daily cases. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation is used to account for potential simultaneity bias, be…
Evaluating the Relationship between Pay and Research Productivity: Panel Data Evidence from Ontario Universities
Exploiting data made available by the 1996 Ontario Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, we construct a unique panel data set containing individual salaries of tenured and tenure-track economics professors from 16 universities in Ontario between 1996 and 2006 to evaluate the relationship between academic performance and salary. Our estimates suggest that universities reward research productivity, as a top journal publication is significantly assoc…
Estimating the Effects of Cigarette Taxes on Birth Outcomes
Employing provincial data from 1979 to 2004 allows us to exploit the significant (45 percent to 60 percent) reduction in excise taxes in Eastern Canada enacted in February 1994 to estimate the impacts of cigarette taxes on birth outcomes. Empirical estimates suggest that an increase in cigarette taxes is significantly associated with lower infant mortalities. However, we also find some evidence of a counter-intuitive positive correlation between …
Estimating the Impact of Seat Belt Use on Traffic Fatalities: Empirical Evidence from Canada
This study contributes to the literature by using provincial data in Canada between 1980 and 1996 to analyze the effect of seat belt use on traffic fatalities. Empirical estimates from first stage instrumental-variables regressions suggest that the enactment of mandatory seat belt laws is significantly associated with an increase in average seat belt use, while corresponding estimates from second stage regressions imply that a 1 percent increase …
Do Stricter Penalties or Media Publicity Reduce Alcohol Consumption by Drivers
A decline in drinking and driving could be due to stricter penalties as well as enhanced media publicity, which increases public knowledge of drinking and driving laws. However, most research fails to control for the effects of increased media coverage. Employing a unique dataset of the blood alcohol content (BAC) levels of fatally injured drivers in Canada from 1982 to 1992, I find that both stricter penalties and an increase in the number of ne…
