In this paper, we examine this idea in an agricultural labor market setting by studying the empirical relationship between employment surplus, which is essentially the excess of a worker's value of marginal product over their wage, and wages. We use a model of search, match, and bargaining that explains how the surplus from worker's productivity is split between workers and employers. Our estimates show that workers' mean productivity is $8.67 per hour, and they receive 24.2% of employment surplus, but both exhibit substantial heterogeneity over workers. Heterogeneity in productivity and bargaining power suggests that workers who are able to generate “a bigger pie” may also earn a larger share of it. Consistent with this notion, our analysis shows a robust positive elasticity of surplus with observed wages, implying that agricultural firms gain more (surplus) by paying their workers higher wages and not necessarily through exploitation or “winner-take-all” strategy.","PeriodicalId":8004,"journal":{"name":"Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy","volume":"47 4","pages":"1507-1537"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144815216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Holly Wang, Na Hao, Xinxin Wang, Dongwhoi Moon","doi":"10.1002/aepp.13521","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/aepp.13521","url":null,"abstract":"In the context of recent deglobalization trends, heightened political conflicts between nations have become more prevalent, leading to a surge in political consumption incidents and subsequent market disruptions. This research examines consumers' willingness-to-pay (WTP) in China, South Korea, and the United States for socks made with non-Xinjiang cotton following a political dispute over Xinjiang cotton. The primary objective is to gain insights into the political consumption behaviors exhibited by consumers in these countries. A comprehensive dataset of 1770 samples (590 per country) was gathered through a hypothetical double-bounded dichotomized choice experiment designed to elicit the WTP for such socks over those made with Xinjiang cotton. The WTPs for each consumer, as a quantitative measure of their boycott or buycott, are examined. The findings reveal that Chinese consumers display the lowest WTP for non-Xinjiang cotton socks, signaling a tendency to boycotting foreign cotton products. In contrast, consumers in the United States and South Korea demonstrate a tendency to support non-Xinjiang cotton products. Notably, South Korean consumers, positioned as a third party in the conflict, exhibited buycott behavior during the dispute, underscoring the notion that political conflicts can significantly impact consumer behavior in unrelated countries. Furthermore, the study includes an in-depth analysis of factors influencing this political consumption tendency. These insights offer valuable perspectives for the industry to adapt and thrive amid the challenges posed by geopolitical dynamics and shifting consumer sentiments, as well as for governments to consider the economic impacts of political decisions.","PeriodicalId":8004,"journal":{"name":"Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy","volume":"47 4","pages":"1433-1468"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144815190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using these modified MDERs, we compute new estimates of food insecure populations using USDA-ERS International Food Security Assessment (IFSA) model for the 83 countries covered by IFSA for 2023. We compute moderate upward biases in MDERs due to sedentarism of 3.52% or 57.49 kcal a day (population-weighted) average, leading to a (pop.-weighted) average 1720 caloric MDER, which translate to large reductions in the estimate of food insecure population of 71.3 million in the IFSA model. With both BMR and PAL corrections, the MDER falls to 1638 kcal on average (pop.-weighted) and the food insecure population estimate falls by 173.6 million. Relative to ERS' 2100-calorie threshold predicting 1.056 billion food-insecure, these corrections would be inflated by 538 million people to 609.4 and 711.7 million reductions. Robustness checks using a lognormal distribution approach with FAO data confirm similar large responses of food-insecure population estimates to the MDER corrections for the same countries. Beyond the correction for systematic upward bias, estimating more precise MDERs will lead to more precise food-insecure estimates.","PeriodicalId":8004,"journal":{"name":"Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy","volume":"47 4","pages":"1383-1407"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aepp.13522","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144815127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By combining household data with mining locations, we conducted an econometric analysis to assess the impact of mining on self-reported water security, health, and economic opportunities for 142,838 households. Our study utilizes the presence of active and inactive mines to measure the effects of household exposure to mining activities. We observe that proximity to active mining sites is associated with self-reported improved water security, access to health, and economic opportunities. Instrumental variable estimates support a causal interpretation of our results. Specifically, households located within a 50 km radius of active mines reported a 4% lower probability of lacking clean water. Our findings also reveal that robust local institutions not only enhance water security but also mitigate the negative health impacts associated with mine closures. These results suggest that strengthening local governance can amplify the potential benefits of mining operations. Therefore, we recommend the strengthening of local government institutions to foster the resilience of vulnerable mining communities.","PeriodicalId":8004,"journal":{"name":"Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy","volume":"47 2","pages":"586-601"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aepp.13510","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143840680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
