The Impact

Abstract To analyze fresh vegetable consumption using household survey data, the tobit model and a more flexible parameterization to the tobit model—the “double hurdle” model—were considered. Based on the likelihood ratio test, the tobit model was rejected against the “double hurdle” specification. Moreover, the results suggest that the tobit model underestimated the impact of the explanatory variables on fresh vegetable expenditures. Other results indicate that total food expenditures (proxy for income), age, household composition, sex, race, marital status, urbanization, region, and seasonality are all important determinants of fresh vegetable expenditures.

The Impact

Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy Pvt. Ltd conducts a large longitudinal household survey, Consumer Pyramids Household Survey (CPHS). Since January 2016 it has been producing fast-frequency measures of unemployment by using the CPHS. This article attempts to understand the impact of demonetisation announced on 8 November 2016, if any, on employment by using the results from CPHS. We use data on two waves preceding demonetisation and two waves after demonetisation, that is, seven quarters—3 before and 4 after demonetisation—and also monthly and weekly data to understand the impact of demonetisation. The evidence indicates a substantial loss of jobs and labour participation after demonetisation. JEL: J640, J08, J210

Combined Data

We merge data on spatial variation in the presence of convicts across eighteenth and nineteenth century Australia with results from the country's 2017 poll on same-sex marriage and with household survey data. These combined data allow us to identify the lasting impact of convict colonization on social norms about marriage. We find that in areas with higher historical convict concentrations, more Australians recently voted in favor of same-sex marriage and hold liberal views about marriage more generally. Our results highlight how founder populations can have lasting effects on locally held social norms.
