Such laws are now in force in more than 20 states and 100 local jurisdictions. Prior research has focused on their impact on recipients of Housing Choice Vouchers. This paper provides the first examination of their effects on recipients of non-voucher categories of protected income, including Supplemental Security Income and welfare payments. Using American Community Survey microdata from 2006 to 2021, aggregated to the Consistent Public Use Microdata Area-by-year level, and a robust event-study estimator, the analysis estimates intent-to-treat effects on residential mobility, gross rent, household size, and crowding for likely-affected renters. Estimated effects are uniformly close to zero across all four outcomes. The mobility estimates are precise enough to rule out increases above 2 to 3 percentage points, equivalent to relative increases above 10% to 13% given a baseline mobility rate of 22%. The estimates indicate that, in nationally representative survey data, source of income laws do not generate large detectable aggregate changes for non-voucher protected-income recipients on the housing margins observable in the American Community Survey.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46061,"journal":{"name":"ATLANTIC ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"54 2-3","pages":"143 - 159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149027693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A dynamic stochastic general equilibrium framework is developed that integrates a sharing sector with traditional market and home production. In this model, the sharing economy bridges market and home activities by using household capital to produce tradable services. The analysis shows that a positive neutral technological shock to market production expands business investment but crowds out durable asset accumulation, causing both home and sharing output to decline. Conversely, a positive productivity shock within the sharing economy stimulates investment in durables but reduces business capital investment, market output, and market hours. Furthermore, investment-specific technological shocks to durables expand household capital at the expense of business capital. However, they do not reduce effective consumption because household capital simultaneously feeds into home production and sharing activities, sustaining the consumption aggregate. Overall, the results indicate that the sharing economy is countercyclical: households mitigate market downturns by monetizing durable assets, smoothing the business cycle. These findings emphasize the need to account for the sharing economy when designing macroeconomic business cycle stabilization policies, given its role in amplifying and transmitting shocks through household capital.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46061,"journal":{"name":"ATLANTIC ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"54 2-3","pages":"161 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149027696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wealth and income inequality are more readily accepted in a mobile society than a stratified, class-based social system. The intergenerational correlation of occupation and wealth between parents and students who attended the Cambridge Washington Academy in New York in 1846 is estimated. The school was a private secondary boarding school, and the 177 students are primarily from well-off farm families. Using census records from 1850 to 1875, the occupational and wealth elasticity of male students is 0.34 and 0.28, respectively. After three generations, the correlation is 0.04, implying a high degree of social mobility. For married female students, the occupational and wealth elasticities of their husbands are 0.20 and 0.58, respectively. The high wealth elasticity suggests assortative mating and dowries since the wealth comes from the female student’s father. The fact that well-positioned children enjoy only modest inter-generational gains in status and wealth is consistent with the idea of America in the 19th Century as a land of opportunity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46061,"journal":{"name":"ATLANTIC ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"54 2-3","pages":"187 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149027638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that income is the principal dimension where Maine lags behind national averages. Accordingly, four macroeconomic variables were examined over 1997–2024 to better assess Maine’s economic performance: per capita state domestic product, per capita personal income, the consumer price index, and unemployment. These metrics were used for more focused quantitative and qualitative index number analysis. The state’s progress toward United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8 relating to employment security and sustainable economic growth is evaluated and discussed to formulate suggestions for effective policy. To address the economic dimension, the state should reform its property and corporate income tax structures to encourage investment and seek to scale its educational resources through cooperative agreements with institutions in neighboring states and provinces.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46061,"journal":{"name":"ATLANTIC ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"54 2-3","pages":"121 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11293-026-09855-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149027695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a difference-in-differences approach with hospital fixed effects, this study examines how the program affected New Jersey hospitals’ discharge practices and inpatient lengths of stay using data from the New Jersey State Inpatient Databases of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality for 2005, 2010, and 2015. The study analyzes 55,653 heart failure admissions, 23,960 acute myocardial infarction admissions, 34,973 pneumonia admissions, and 81,402 gastrointestinal disorder cases, with gastrointestinal disorders serving as a control group to account for underlying trends. The findings indicate that the program’s implementation was associated with a decline in discharges to home health services among heart failure patients, a decrease in discharges to skilled nursing facilities among both acute myocardial infarction and heart failure patients, and a reduction in inpatient length of stay among acute myocardial infarction and pneumonia cases. However, due to limited time variation and contemporaneous Medicare reforms, these results should be interpreted as associations rather than definitive causal effects. These findings suggest that value-based payment policies may shift hospital discharge behavior and care coordination strategies, potentially improving efficiency while also raising concerns about unintended effects on access and equity. Policymakers should account for concurrent reforms and underlying trends while ensuring that cost reductions are balanced with safeguards for care quality and patient outcomes, particularly among vulnerable populations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46061,"journal":{"name":"ATLANTIC ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"54 2-3","pages":"101 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149027637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total spillovers surged during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and rose again around the Russia–Ukraine war. Determinant regressions show that total spillovers increased under a tighter United States monetary policy stance, higher United States policy uncertainty, and during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
