It remains unclear, however, whether the spatial externalities of local decline — including homelessness and crime — boost support for populist parties, even among those not directly affected by such decline. In this paper, we contribute to filling this gap in two ways. First, we gather novel data on a particularly visible form of local decline, high-street vacancies, that comprise 83,000 premises in England and Wales. Second, we investigate the influence of local decline on support for the right-wing populist UK Independence Party (UKIP) between 2009 and 2019. We find a significant positive association between high-street vacancy rates and UKIP support. These results enhance our understanding of how changes in the lived environment shape political preferences and behaviour, particularly in relation to right-wing populism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11468,"journal":{"name":"Economics Letters","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 112360"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143908051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we demonstrate that the factor estimation error will not only influence the factor selection, but also the covariate selection in FAR. As a result, the penalty used to ensure consistent model selection should depend on both the cross-sectional dimension and the time length, to account for the effect of factor estimation error. Selection consistency is then proved under standard regularity conditions.

Following Alpert et al. (2022), we utilize variation in opioid exposure due to state policies that affected OxyContin’s marketing and market entry. Our results suggest that higher availability of opioids led to a substantial (21%) increase in the number of elective surgical discharges, such as knee replacements, hip replacements, and back surgeries. We also consider effects for non-elective surgical discharges — procedures where we expect a much smaller response to the availability of opioids — and find a statistically insignificant increase of 1%. Finally, we investigate medical discharges — procedures where no response is expected — and find no detectable effect. This increase in elective procedures is consistent with a model of physician behavior that incorporates patient pain and post-surgical well-being into surgical decisions and where decreases in the “hassle” of prescribing pain-reducing medication pushes marginal patients to undergo surgeries that they might not otherwise elect. Our results highlight an important tradeoff: while liberal opioid prescribing has led to widespread misuse and abuse, the availability of opioids may allow some patients to undergo quality-of-life improving surgeries that would otherwise be too painful.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11468,"journal":{"name":"Economics Letters","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 112358"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143913250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
