We leverage data from two waves of the FINRA Investor Education Foundation’s National Financial Capability Study (NFCS) to examine how veterans are faring over time, relative to comparable civilians. Overall, veterans in 2018 fared better than non-veterans in several areas. They reported higher financial satisfaction, less difficulty covering expenses, and a higher likelihood of having an emergency fund and non-retirement investment account. However, veterans were more likely to report having experienced a large drop in income, problematic credit card behaviors and late mortgage payments. Notably, though several indicators of overall financial well-being and saving behaviors improved from 2015 to 2018 and spending and credit outcomes worsened, these relative changes did not differ between veterans and non-veterans.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47522,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 106155"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0148619523000486/pdfft?md5=d371b77c7dfc9517f3be18ce37473d14&pid=1-s2.0-S0148619523000486-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139373393","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}

To protect the most disadvantaged, states implemented emergency measures such as utility shutoff moratoria, which prevented utility companies from disconnecting families’ energy and water services due to non-payment. Using credit bureau data on five million consumers, we investigate how a utility shutoff moratorium impacted consumers’ credit delinquencies. We find that adults living in states that implemented such protections were less likely to be late in the payment of their credit cards and auto &amp; retail loan bills during the pandemic. We also find that a state utility shutoff moratorium reduced the likelihood of consumers’ unpaid debt being sent to collections during the pandemic. Residents of majority-Black communities benefited the most from a utility shutoff moratorium. These results suggest that families in states with a utility shutoff moratorium used this economic relief to pay their financial obligations in time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47522,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 106170"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140150446","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}

Using a difference-in-difference approach, we found mixed policy impacts on the debt people carried. Although the expansion of Universal Credit was intended to help financially vulnerable families, consumers who were more likely to benefit from the Universal Credit expansion took on 1% more total nonmortgage debt after the policy expansion.

Yet, we also find that the monopoly rights attached to granted patents do not result in higher sales than simply filing for a patent.
