“…We used a differences-in-differences strategy 20 to estimate the impact of the Part D drug benefit for subjects aged 67-79. This approach compares the pre-post difference in generic drug use of a control population with the pre-post difference in generic drug use of the subjects of interest, those enrolled in Part D plans.…”

The Impact of the Medicare Part D Prescription Benefit on Generic Drug Use

et al. 2008

RESULTS:Generic drugs accounted for 58% of total prescriptions. Among the entire group of beneficiaries, there was a trend of increased generic drug use in 13 out of 15 drug classes examined. However, after adjusting for potential confounders, the growth rate of generic drug use was lower among Part D enrollees than among non-enrollees; enrollees were slightly less likely to fill prescriptions for generic drugs vs. brand-name drugs in 2006 compared to 2005 (odds ratio 0.95, 95% confidence interval 0.94-0.95).CONCLUSIONS: Despite secular trends of increased utilization of generic drugs among both Part D enrollees and non-enrollees, the net impact of Part D among these beneficiaries was a modest decrease in the use of generic drugs. This finding, which is consistent with economic theory but contrary to several recent reports, highlights the complexity of assessing the impact of Part D on overall consumer welfare.

“…In 2000, 68 percent of all foreign-born persons (as opposed to 36 percent of the native population) lived in only six states: California, New York, Florida, Texas, New Jersey or Illinois. 2 Major American metropolitan areas, such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco, have seen levels of new legal immigration equal to more than 13%…”

Immigration and housing rents in American cities

Is there a local economic impact of immigration? Immigration pushes up rents and housing values in US destination cities. The positive association of rent growth and immigrant inflows is pervasive in time series for all metropolitan areas. I use instrumental variables based on a "shift-share" of national levels of immigration into metropolitan areas. An immigration inflow equal to 1% of a city's population is associated with increases in average rents and housing values of about 1%. The results suggest an economic impact that is an order of magnitude bigger than that found in labor markets.

“…The coefficient of interest, τ, is the DID treatment effect. As noted by Angrist and Krueger (1999) , controlling for IHE characteristics changes our estimate of τ only if S it and X it are correlated, conditional on IHE and year fixed effects. Identification of a causal effect in [1] requires that signatories and non-signatories would have experienced the same trends in the outcome variables had the signing of the ACUPCC not occurred.…”

“…We utilize the regression-adjusted version of the difference-in-difference (hereafter DID) estimator for multiple time-periods (Angrist & Krueger, 1999;Imbens & Wooldridge, 2009 ). IHE i belongs to a group, G i ∈ {0, 1} (where group 1 is the treatment group of signatories), and is observed in time period t ∈ {2002, 2003, … , 2013}.…”

Does Eco-labeling of Services Matter? Evidence from Higher Education

Abstract:Eco-labeling of services has become increasingly common, yet little empirical evidence exists concerning its effectiveness. We address this gap in the literature by analyzing a highly visible eco-label, the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), in the sector of higher education. We match information about the ACUPCC to the US Department of Education IPEDS database to examine the impact of signing on student applications, admissions, and enrollment. We mainly utilize a difference-in-difference approach to identify the effects of interest but confirm results with an interrupted time series model. We find that signing the ACUPCC increases applications and admitted students by 2.5-3.5%. However, the evidence regarding enrollment is weaker with only some specifications finding increases of around 1-2%. Overall, there is considerable heterogeneity across sectors and selectivity of the institutions. These results show that, at the minimum, voluntary and information-based approaches (VIBAs) for services can be effective in generating visibility and influencing less-costly consumer behavior.
