Our objective is to assess the extent to which government mandates and private actions influenced time allocated to specific activities and the social interactions of individuals. Information on how individuals spent their time before and during the early stages of the pandemic come from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which identifies time use for a 24-hour period and includes each individual's activities, locations and companions. We combine the time diary data with data on state-level restrictions from the Kaiser Family Foundation and state-level COVID-19 infection and death rates from Johns Hopkins University. Our findings suggest that private actions in response to reported death rates are comparable to the effects of state-level public mandates on the outcome variables of time alone and time at home. In evaluating effects based on sex and age, we find that young males experienced the largest disruption in time use, significantly changing both their location and their companions. We also find important age profile differences between males and females.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"78 2","pages":"Article 100952"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090944324000164/pdfft?md5=6645e6f0c40e077fd90a892b31a7fb4a&pid=1-s2.0-S1090944324000164-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140400666","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}

We conducted empirical analysis, Bootstrap & Sobel Test (BST) for mediating effect and used fixed and mediated effects models on panel data of 31 Chinese provinces to achieve specific employment promotion and pension replacement rates. The late employment rate is positively significant and correlated with the social security contribution rate (SSCR), which shows the late retirement age can significantly reduce SSCR. The optimal combination identified in the late retirement age that decreasing SSCR. The above results indicate that the intermediary effect is significant. Simultaneously, SSCR does play an intermediary role in the relationship between the late retirement age and the employment rate. The late retirement age affects the employment rate through the social security contribution rate; thus, the late retirement age reduces a corporate social security contribution rate and labor cost and then prompts the enterprise to increase employment demand. Furthermore, BST mediating effects show that the SSCR significantly affects the late retirement age and employment rate. We conclude effective policy reforms can alleviate the late retirement age dilemma because a decline in the social security contribution rate causes a 1 % reduction in the social security contribution rate causing the 0.41055 percent late retirement age yearly.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"78 2","pages":"Article 100954"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140134718","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}

This makes climate change vulnerability a great challenge to sustainable economic development efforts across the globe, particularly in developing regions. Hence, panel data of 35 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries between 2006 and 2020 were employed to examine the effect of climate change vulnerability and preparedness on FDI, as well as the exploration of the interaction effect of both climate change indicators on the latter. With the use of Fixed Effects (FE) and Dynamic Two– Step System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation, findings indicate that FDI inflows could be adversely impacted by climate vulnerability. This strengthens the understanding that as SSA countries become more vulnerable to climate change, inward FDI in the region may be lowered. However, climate preparedness found not to have a negative impact on FDI. Results are consistent with the view that when countries embrace strong innovation support and improved regulatory standards, responsible international investments could be promoted. In addition, the empirical evidence obtained from the interaction of climate vulnerability and readiness reveals that climate preparedness matters in climate vulnerability-FDI nexus, suggesting the increasing relevance of effective climate governance and innovative characteristics of economies in stimulating FDI attraction. It is, therefore, suggested that to mitigate the adverse effect of climate vulnerability on FDI inflows, SSA should actively take measures that would strengthen its economic, governance and social environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"78 1","pages":"Pages 52-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139654060","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}

It is shown that the two phenomena can be explained in a framework with a utility-maximizing household that enjoys an income-independent endowment of energy services. Energy service endowment is a barrier against the adoption of the most energy-efficient appliances and leads to the so-called energy efficiency gap. Low-income households only use endowments and do not use energy-consuming appliances (cars, wall insulation, etc.). Higr-income households buy an appliance whose energy efficiency depends on the household’s income. Only households with income above a threshold buy the most efficient appliance. For households that replace their appliance with a more efficient one, there will be a rebound effect (the realized energy saving is less than the presumed one). It is shown that the rebound effect is higher at lower income levels because income and substitution effects from a decline in energy service prices are stronger. These stronger effects come from the endowment of energy services. The numerical example shows that the model can reproduce the patterns for the rebound effects of household income groups and their expenditure shares. It is also shown that other causes of the energy efficiency gap, such as credit constraints, do not lead to higher rebound effects at lower income levels.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"78 1","pages":"Pages 37-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139509731","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}
