We find that the refugees with poor health significantly underperform healthy refugees in the labour market, and the impact of poor health at the time of entry lasts longer than 10 years. We also find that poor health has greater detrimental effects on refugees than on non-refugees.KEYWORDS: North Korean refugeeshealth and labor market outcomesNational Health Insurance Service of Korea datahealth screeningemployment and earningsJEL CODES: J15, I13I15 AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Chung Choe, Klaus Hornetz, Jongnam Hwang, Jeffrey Nilsen and participants at the 2021 Korea and the World Economy Conference and the 2023 Korean Association of Health Economics and Policy Conference for providing useful comments to earlier versions of this paper.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Literature suggests that other factors contributing to North Korean refugees’ difficulty in the labour market include lack of specific human capital (Jeong Citation2018), unfamiliarity with market capitalism (Kim and Kim Citation2019) and lack of fluid intelligence (Kim and Lee Citation2018).2 One disadvantage of the NHIS data is that refugees’ socio-economic circumstances prior to their entry to Korea (e.g. education, work experiences, and family wealth in North Korea) are not available.3 While these data have the advantage of containing pre-arrival socio-economic information as well as health status, they are not suitable for the study of integration since they do not contain labor market outcome in the years following refugees’ relocation.4 The programme covers employed persons of all ages, self-employed or unemployed persons of all ages who are the heads of households, and all other people over the age of 40. In 2016, more than 17 million people out of 43 million adults were eligible for the programme. See National Health Insurance Service and Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (Citation2022).5 Lee et al. (Citation2022) report detailed statistics regarding refugees’ participation in health screening.6 North Korean refugees also have low estimated glomerular filtration rates (Song and Choi Citation2018), which is known to be associated with high blood pressure, one of the four chronic diseases used to construct our health indicators.7 In Section 4, we have a larger number of observations since we fill some observations with health data from adjacent years.

{"title":"Did Republican-Led States Perform Better at Protecting Jobs Against COVID-19 in the United States?","authors":"Changkyu Choi, Hojin Jung","doi":"10.1080/1226508x.2023.2272274","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1226508x.2023.2272274","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis study investigated the short-term effects of partisan control by state governments on employment during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Specifically, we examined whether Republican control of the state government was associated with lower unemployment rates and higher employment-to-population ratios. Our results revealed that party control exerted a weak effect but that the interaction with the number of pandemic-related deaths had a strong negative (positive) impact on unemployment rates (employment-to-population ratios). The moderation effect of our state partisan control variables supports the conclusion that Republican-led states produced better employment outcomes against the pandemic.KEYWORDS: COVID-19partisanrepublican party controlunemployment rateemployment-to-population ratioJEL CLASSIFICATION: H75I10J21 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 We also explored the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic by employing the number of confirmed cases as an indicator of its severity. However, we could not derive a definitive result. It is possible that the state authorities had a more pronounced reaction to death tolls than to confirmed case numbers, perhaps because of the media's strong emphasis on fatalities. State leaders may set restrictions based on death counts. While this study primarily focuses on the empirical results related to the number of deaths, our complete empirical results using infection data are available upon request.Additional informationFundingThis work is supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF-2022S1A3A2A0208958).","PeriodicalId":45235,"journal":{"name":"Global Economic Review","volume":"48 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134901924","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}
