The effect of smoking bans on alcohol consumption is unclear, and this is especially true of the differing effect on smokers and non-smokers. This paper uses spending survey data to examine the effect of the United Kingdom smoking bans on alcohol spending. It finds the introduction of a smoking ban decreased alcohol expenditure, specifically in the on-trade (pubs and restaurants) and amongst smoking households. Smoking households are estimated to have reduced their weekly onpremise alcohol expenditure by £1.70 (approximately 15-20%), whilst non-smoking households do not significantly change their expenditure. The smoking ban may therefore have affected on-premise outlets through a reduction in revenue. This study provides further evidence that tobacco policies affect drinking behaviour. Dependent variable £, deflated to 2001 prices. Robust standard errors in parentheses. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001

“…Awalime et al (2017) reveal the increasing household costs due to cholera mitigation policy. Meanwhile, Pieroni and Salmasi (2017) reveal that government policy on smoke-free restaurants does not affect the restaurant's performance. Nevertheless, the empirical findings of the COVID-19 mitigation policy's effect on firm performance, especially under the exogenous growth and institutional theory frameworks, receive less attention.…”

PurposeThis paper examines the effect of lockdown on a firm's financial performance. The authors aim to fill in the debate over the corporate world's repercussions from governments' COVID-19 response. Therefore, it is imperative to understand what effect the lockdown policy has on firm financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study data are cross-sectional, covering a sample of 246 listed firms in Indonesia. The lockdown policy and period data were retrieved from the Indonesian Ministry of Health COVID-19 special task force website. The authors’ empirical model for performance specification is based on annual data, following a common performance function in economics and finance literature. In addition to controlling for the standard error and province effect, the authors also controlled the COVID-19 cases and the province effect.FindingsThe lockdown deteriorates the firm's profitability, but it is not up to making the firms at financial distress level. Simply put, lockdown erodes the profitability significantly, leading to declining performance; however, it does not mean the firms generate default.Research limitations/implicationsSeveral shortcomings in the authors’ empirical setup need to be tackled for future research. For example, the study findings may limit the short-run effect but not the long-run effect (5–10 years after the pandemic). The findings also do not give room to justify that lockdown should not be imposed due to its deteriorating effect on the corporate world. Therefore, the authors leave this as a scope for future research.Originality/valueThis research is among the pioneer papers evaluating the effect of the government policy for mitigating the repercussions of COVID-19, and it reveals how this policy affects corporations.

“…As this study employed a rich data set of information on inpatients across several years, we attempted to borrow the frame of quasi-experimental designs, such as difference-in-differences (DD). The model used was similar to the difference-in-difference-indifferences (DDD) approach used by Falck, Heblich, and Kipar [36] and Pieroni and Salmasi [37]. However, as the SPARCS database does not contain panel data, it is di cult to distinguish macroeconomic trends from the policy impact.…”

Do health vouchers broaden the choices of citizens with low socioeconomic status? An analysis of Medicaid in Brooklyn

Background: Many governments worldwide have committed to extending choices in public service delivery. However, the extent to which policies ensure equity is unclear. We investigated whether Medicaid programs in the United States improve hospital accessibility among patients with low socioeconomic status, compared to those with non-low socioeconomic status who are non-Medicaid recipients or uninsured.Methods: We employed a difference-in-difference-in-differences approach using a rich dataset of information on inpatients and their choice of hospitals from Statewide Planning Research and Cooperative System and information on hospitals from the American Hospital Association in Brooklyn, New York, from 2003 to 2009 Results: The ndings indicated that Medicaid has failed to broaden the range of the hospital choices for patients with low socioeconomic status, assessed in terms of bypassing behaviors.Conclusions: Medicaid is a public program that offers choices driven by purchasing power. The ndings of this study imply that this program has some limitations in alleviating existing socioeconomic inequities in available hospital choices. BackgroundIn public service delivery, expanding upon existing consumer choices is central to the wider principles of recent service reforms in the Swedish elderly care sector [1], British health care sector [2], American education and health sectors [3,4], and Korean social service sector [5, 6]. Such reforms aim to improve not only providers' e ciency but also their responsiveness to public service users, which can be modi ed to better satisfy the requirements of consumer sovereignty [3,7]. However, conceptualizing and measuring the value of consumer choices is problematic in both theory and practice because the criteria to determine whether a choice is welfare-enhancing are rarely suggested [8].The Medicaid system in the United States is a consumer-driven purchasing policy that provides a mechanism for state and local governments to provide services in a manner that enhances consumer choices and improves the purchasing relationship between the government, providers, and consumers. Accordingly, patients are given a Medicaid entitlement that they can present at a hospital of their choosing to receive government-provided health insurance funds that align with their choice [2, 3]. This study explored whether Medicaid can broaden patients' choice of hospitals because Medicaid patients can use their purchasing power to pit hospitals against each other, and thus receive higher quality services [3,7]. However, while the natural motivation for such programs is to improve the health of lowerincome persons [9], little research has been conducted to determine whether offering greater purchasing power for choices through existing health markets contributes to equity in accessing services; moreover, the existing programs are poorly documented in the public administration eld.
