The analysis shows that balanced education of the two languages is valuable for skill development. By contrast, with respect to consumption, earnings net of educational expenditure, and their between-group inequalities, the analysis reveals that balanced bilingual education is desirable <em>only when</em> the country has favorable educational and technological conditions (i.e., when sectoral productivities and the effectiveness of education are reasonably high) and <em>only for</em> those with adequate wealth. Language education focused solely on the common language maximizes the economic outcomes of those with little wealth and under adverse conditions, the outcomes for all.

With a limited supply of physicians completing medical school at US universities, foreign-born and educated physicians provide a potential source of supply in underserved areas. Although nearly a quarter of medical residents in US hospitals received their medical degrees abroad, the terms of the commonly used J-1 visa require a return to the home country for two years, which may limit the capacity of international medical graduates (IMGs) to pursue employment in the US market. Our analysis examines the extent to which reducing visa barriers impacts the supply of physicians at state and local levels, particularly in areas designated as medically underserved. The Conrad 30 Visa Waiver program gives states the opportunity to attract foreign IMGs to practice in underserved areas by waiving the two-year home residency requirement for those with J-1 visas and providing a path to obtaining US citizenship. Changes in the federal limit on the number of waivers per state, combined with variations in the state-level restrictions on eligible specialties and geographies in which physicians can work, provide evidence of the role of visa restrictions in limiting the supply of doctors. We find that the expansion of the cap on visa waivers increased the supply of IMGs in states impacted by the cap lift. There is little evidence of reductions in US-trained doctors in states where IMGs increases were the largest, suggesting little evidence for crowding out. Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) in states with fewer restrictions on the program had relatively more IMGs but no fewer US-trained doctors. Importantly, HPSAs in states with less restriction to the program also had relatively lower early mortality rates and lower COVID-19 death rates.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167268124002786/pdfft?md5=cb3a5a33eba5ab9cc40f5a4cb0cfd8ab&pid=1-s2.0-S0167268124002786-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141933871","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}

The paper focuses on the changes in gender differences in noncognitive skills among Chinese elementary school students aged 9 to 13 during the pandemic. We use two datasets that complement each other in design, both containing detailed information regarding students and their home and school environments before and during the pandemic. Our findings indicate that compared to boys, girls experienced statistically significant declines in noncognitive skills. We explore the mechanisms from the family, school and individual perspectives. The primary influence on gender disparities appears to be driven by a more significant decrease in peer interactions within the school environment and an elevated psychological stress level experienced by girls during the pandemic. However, there is limited evidence supporting the notion that girls experienced more family financial shock or less parental support during this period. Our results suggest that overlooking noncognitive dimensions may lead to serious underestimates of the impact of the pandemic on the development of gender inequality in the long run.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141961916","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}
