The impact of National Health Insurance on birth outcomes
We estimate the impacts of the introduction of National Health Insurance in Taiwan in March 1995 on infant survival. Prior to NHI, government workers (the control group) possessed health insurance policies with comprehensive coverage for births and infant medical care services. Private sector industrial workers and farmers (the treatment groups) lacked this coverage. All households received coverage in 1995. Since stringent requirements for repor…

The Market for Illegal Goods
This paper considers the costs of reducing consumption of a good by making its production illegal and punishing apprehended illegal producers. We use illegal drugs as a prominent example. We show that the more inelastic either demand for or supply of a good is, the greater the increase in social cost from further reducing its production by greater enforcement efforts. So optimal public expenditures on apprehension and conviction of illegal suppli…
Substance Use
The economics of substance use and abuse deals with the consumption of goods that share two properties. First, they are addictive in the sense that an increase in past consumption of the good leads to an increase in current consumption. Second, their consumption harms the consumer and others. This second property makes them of interest from policy, legal, and public health perspectives. The tremendous expansion in research in the economics of sub…

Jesus, Mama, and the constraints on salvific love in contemporary country music
The discourse of contemporary country music creates a world permeated with religion and centered on the notion of salvific love. This form of salvation arises in the connection between people (or between people and God) and includes elements of sacrifice and transformation. Although highly conventional, country music must meet standards of 'authenticity' and 'relevance', which require the incorporation of contemporary American religious values (i…

Aging and Sense of Control
Three groups representing different phases of the developmental lifecycle--12 senior citizens, 67 young adults, and 14 healthy middle-aged normal adults--were assessed using a multidimensional control inventory. Senior citizens had a healthy over-all sense of control comparable to those of the other two groups and a significantly lower (healthier) negative sense of control. They also were significantly more likely to endorse acceptance as a way o…
Effects of Alcohol Price Policy on Youth
In this article, we summarize research by economists that deals with the effects of alcoholic beverage prices and excise taxes on a variety of outcomes for youth. These include alcohol consumption (both moderate and excessive), motor vehicle accident mortality, and college completion rates. The research employs six nationally representative data sets on individuals that span the period from 1974 through 1989 and two state-level data sets for the …
Policy Watch
Increased excise taxes on cigarettes and alcohol have been suggested as a means to finance (at least partially) the Clinton administration's proposed program of health care reform. We consider the revenue potential of cigarette and alcohol tax hikes and explore the effects on consumption and related outcomes. We present estimates of the social costs and implied optimal tax rates on cigarettes and alcohol. The bulk of the evidence presented here d…
Effectiveness of Health Care Services for Pregnant Women and Infants
Andrew D. Racine, Theodore J. Joyce, Michael Grossman, Effectiveness of Health Care Services for Pregnant Women and Infants, The Future of Children, Vol. 2, No. 2, U.S. Health Care for Children (Winter, 1992), pp. 40-57
Pregnancy wantedness and the early initiation of prenatal care
The study examines the impact of the wantedness of a pregnancy on the demand for early prenatal care. Using a cohort of pregnant women in New YorkCity, we estimate a prenatal care demand function in which we control for the probability of giving birth, given a woman is pregnant. We interpret this control as a measure of wantedness, The results indicate that if the black and Hispanic women who aborted had instead given birth, they would have delay…
Unobservables, Pregnancy Resolutions, and Birth Weight Production Functions in New York City
This paper makes contributions to the estimation of health production functions and the economics of fertility control. The authors present the first infant health production functions that simultaneously control for self-selection in the resolution of pregnancies as live births or induced abortions and in the use of prenatal medical care services. The authors also incorporate the decision of a pregnant woman to give birth or to obtain an abortio…

A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Strategies to Reduce Infant Mortality
This study compares the cost effectiveness of various health inputs and government programs in reducing race-specific neonatal mortality or death in the first 27 days of life. Approximately two thirds of all infant deaths occur within this period. The programs and inputs at issue are teenage family planning use; the supplemental food program for women, infants, and children (WIC); use of community health centers and maternal and infant care proje…

Income and Race Differences in Children??s Health in the Mid-1960s
This article explores income and race differences in eight measures of the health of children ages 6 through 11 as assessed in the early 1960s. It is shown that both income and race differences in health are much less pronounced than they are in infant mortality and birth weight data. Significant differences are found in the health status of black and white children and of children from high- and low-income families, but these are primarily diffe…
Milton's army
White House reporters follow a path constructed by presidential advisers that they hope will lead them to fulfill goals set by their news organizations. White House officials ration them facilities for work, access to newsworthy people, and reportable information in amounts that depend on the importance to the President of the type of media they work in, the status of their particular news organization, and the staff's respect for the influence a…
Variations in Infant Mortality Rates Among Counties of the United States
The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the causes of the rapid decline in the infant mortality rate in the United States in the period after 1963. The roles of four public policies are considered: Medicaid, subsidized family planning services for low-income women, maternal and infant care projects, and the legalization of abortion. The most striking finding is that the increase in the legal abortion rate is the single most important factor…
Portraying the President
The media have become principal actors on the American political scene. Politicians and their press secretaries release news items with one eye on the event and the other on the millions of voters who depend on the White House press corps to keep them informed about the workings of their government. Portraying the President explores the inner workings of the relationship between the White House and the press. Rather than emphasize the well-public…

The Media and the Presidency
The concept that journalists often use to explain their interaction with government officials is that of an adversary relationship. In their view officials try to convey an image of what is happening in government that is favorable to themselves or their program, while reporters seek instead to present the public with a plain picture of the truth-warts and all.' Out of these divergent roles and interests conflict inevitably emerges, and journalis…
The Demand for Pediatric Care
When the quality of a good varies, quantity in physical units may be a very misleading measure of total consumption. In this paper it is argued that differences in quality are a distinguishing feature of the market for physicians' services. We develop a model to analyze properties of demand functions for the quantity and quality of physicians' services and apply the model to study the demand for pediatric care--physicians' services rendered to ch…
