Socioeconomic advantage as protection from genetic mental health risks
The burden of mental illness is unequally distributed, with higher prevalence among socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals and those with a genetic predisposition to mental illness. Using data from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we examine whether childhood socioeconomic status (SES) moderates the association between genetic predisposition - measured using polygenic indices (PGIs) - and adult mental health. We document a childho…
Survey Response Behavior as a Proxy for Unobserved Ability
An emerging literature is experimenting with using survey response behavior as a proxy for hard-to-measure abilities. We contribute to this literature by formalizing this idea and evaluating its benefits and risks. Using a standard and nationally representative survey from Australia, we demonstrate that the survey item-response rate (SIRR), a straightforward summary measure of response behavior, varies more with cognitive than with noncognitive a…
Effect of In utero Exposure to Air Pollution on Adulthood Hospitalizations
Empirical analyses have demonstrated that individuals exposed to severe air pollution in utero have worse health outcomes during childhood. However, there is little evidence on the long-term health impacts of air pollution exposure. The objective of this paper is to estimate the effect of in utero exposure to the Great London Smog of 1952 (GLS) on five health outcomes identified through a scoping review to be those most likely affected: respirato…
Beyond dispensing
A well-integrated primary health care system helps address the health needs of an ageing population with complex multiple health conditions. In Australia pharmacists provide services to maximise health gains from medication use, although they are not well integrated into primary care. Using the case of Australia, this study investigates why integrating pharmacists in primary care has not been addressed at the national level and also identifies st…
Implications of Covid-19 labour market shocks for inequality in financial wellbeing
Short, Heavy and Underrated? Teacher Assessment Biases by Children's Body Size
We compare non‐blind teacher assessments with blind national test scores in maths to examine teacher‐test score disparities by children's height and weight. Relative to test scores, shorter and heavier children are rated less favourably by teachers. This teacher‐test score discrepancy cannot be explained by the child's behaviours, motivation to learn or cognitive ability. Unobserved student fixed effects across subjects explain the teacher‐test s…

Distributional Changes in the Gender Wage Gap
Using Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data, the authors analyze changes in wage differentials between white men and women over time and across the entire wage distribution. The authors decompose distributional changes in the gender wage gap to assess the contribution of observed characteristics measuring individual productivity. They find that the gender wage gap narrowed by 16% at the lowest decile and by less than 5% at the highest decile…
You’re Fired! the Causal Negative Effect of Entry Unemployment on Life Satisfaction
This article examines the impact of unemployment for men and women on life satisfaction for Germany 1991-2006 using the German Socio-Economic Panel. We find that for women in east and west Germany, company closures in the year of entry into unemployment produce strongly negative effects on life satisfaction over and above an overall effect of unemployment, providing "prima facie" evidence of reduced outside work options, large investments in firm…
