Social engagement is proven to influence various health outcomes, yet the direction of these relationships stays controversial, with quasi-experimental designs being laid aside. It is also unexplored what happens once individuals withdraw from established social life. To address these gaps, this paper leverages the potential randomness in the timing of individual (dis)engagement behavior to examine the causal effects of social (dis)engagement on the subjective probability of unsuccessful survival (SPUS) of young-old Chinese, using a panel of 11,412 respondents from the 2011–2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A dynamic difference-in-differences approach, with various constructs of treatment and control groups, was employed to validate the estimation. Several robustness checks, including factor analysis and propensity score matching, were further conducted. The primary findings are that social engagement reduces older people's SPUS by up to 2.80 percentage points immediately and by 6.67 percentage points one period later. Conversely, social disengagement shows no immediate effects, but its post-treatment impact can reach up to 14.76 percentage points among subgroups. Interestingly, the engagement effects persist only among non-switchers, fading once switching begins, and the disengagement effects also emerge only among non-switchers. In sum, this study provides partial evidence of stronger disengagement effects, though these effects occur neither instantly nor universally.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1387-1404"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assess how these agreements affect Swiss agricultural imports at different margins of trade adjustment. We estimate reduced-form gravity models using agricultural trade data for 202 partner countries from 2004 to 2022. We find that Swiss FTAs increase agricultural import values by 8.75%, decrease import prices by 3%, increase the probability of imports by 2% and reduce market exit rates by 1%. These effects are heterogeneous across products, sectors and agreements. Regarding import values and quantities, the positive effects of FTAs are mainly observed for raw products (including vegetables, fruits and nuts, coffee, tea and spices). However, the estimated effects are negative for processed products. Regarding import prices, the effects are positive whenever they are statistically significant. We also find that the number of competing agreements to which a Swiss trade partner is exposed only marginally affects Swiss imports. We extend our analysis to agricultural exports and find that FTAs increase Swiss export values by 47%, quantities by 53% and prices by 3% but do not affect export probabilities or export market exit rates. Thus, although Swiss FTAs generally boost trade on average, policymaking should consider the heterogeneities of the estimated FTA effects regarding products, agreements and time when using FTA estimates for counterfactual analysis and negotiations.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1333-1357"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.12472","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This also applies to an index of best management practices that has been used by Bloom and Van Reenen in a series of influential publications (e.g., Bloom and Van Reenen 2007, Bloom et al. 2019). The index assigns the highest weight to individual-based performance pay, a medium weight to group-based performance pay and a low weight to profit sharing. This weighting is obviously driven by the implicit assumption that collective payment schemes suffer from a free-rider problem, so they have a less strong influence on productivity than individual-based schemes. We show that this assumption is questionable from both a theoretical and an empirical point of view. Using the German Management and Organizational Practices Survey, one of the datasets initiated by Bloom and Van Reenen, we show that individual-based performance pay does not outperform group-based performance pay or profit sharing. The finding also holds when accounting for possible interactions among the payment schemes and considering the moderating roles of firm size, employee representation, and innovativeness.

This study empirically analyzes the impact of the supportive policy on industrial transformation based on prefecture-level data in China from 2006 to 2012 using time-varying difference-in-differences. This study finds that the supportive policy increases urban per capita GDP but has a negative effect on the proportion of tertiary industry and passes a series of robustness tests. Further analysis shows that the negative effect has a dynamic effect and becomes more significant in cities with stronger local government capacity and higher marketization level. Mechanism analysis reveals that the policy influences industrial transformation by affecting innovation, capital allocation, and labor allocation. This results reveals the existence of the “resource curse amplification” effect of policies, provides empirical support for the conditional resource curse theory, and challenges the static inevitability of the “resource curse.” Additionally, it also re-examines the relationship between the government and the market, reveals the potential risks of “government-led transformation,” which echoes the paradox of state capacity, and enriches research on place-based policy.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1293-1315"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theoretically, the arguments for doing so are based on the arts and culture being public goods or providing positive externalities. The size of the externalities for a variety of cultural goods has been empirically investigated in numerous stated preference studies. However, the existence of externalities has not previously been tested as a causal relation. In this paper we are testing the existence of externalities of cultural consumption (cultural capital externalities) for Danish theatres. We are doing this based on a theoretical model, where a private consumption jointly produces private and public goods. We exploit variation generated by a national ticket purchasing scheme to estimate the causal effects of theatre consumption on public returns. We find that there are significant cultural capital externalities for users, but we find no effects for non-users, pointing towards peer-effects rather than externalities. Even though there are some limitations to our study, it shows that it is possible to test the existence of externalities of cultural consumption in an empirically convincing causal set-up.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 3","pages":"1259-1275"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.12469","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use microdata from the European Social Survey (ESS) merged with macroeconomic variables from official sources. Econometric estimations are carried out using multilevel models. Our results show a positive association between public expenditure on education and individual well-being. However, this effect is not homogeneous across educational levels, as robust evidence of a positive contribution is only found for tertiary education. Furthermore, we explore whether this relationship is contingent on individuals' ideological preferences. Our findings indicate that individuals who espouse a conservative ideology exhibit a weaker effect compared to those with a progressive mindset. Nevertheless, the positive correlation between education expenditure and well-being persists for the latter group.
