The Impact

Using data from the 2000 census and the 2001-08 American Community Surveys, this paper examines the impact of 9/11 on the earnings of US veteran men. Our hypothesis is that the surge in patriotism after 9/11 improved their relative earnings, but this earnings effect was short-lived. In addition, we further consider whether this effect was equally felt across race/ethnicity and along regional dimensions. Consistent with our hypothesis, we find a significant short-term improvement in the relative earnings of US veteran men following 9/11. However, additional analyses suggest that this earnings effect did not evenly occur across demographic and geographic dimensions.

The Impact

AbstractTo contribute to a retirement plan (barring an increase in income), an individual must either reduce consumption or increase debt. Using data from the 2004 wave of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, we examine the extent to which contributing to 401(k)-type accounts leads to an increase in short-term financial difficulties, particularly among low-income individuals. After instrumenting for plan take-up, we find that contributing to a 401(k) plan appears to have a small positive impact on the presence of any material hardship and debt holding among the lowest income quintiles, though that effect diminishes further up the income distribution.

The Relationship

While the relation between terrorism and tourism has been an important topic for tourism research, the questions whether terrorism affects tourism immediately and how long after a terrorism event tourism recovers are, as yet, not clearly answered. The aim of this article is to better understand the magnitude and temporal scale of the impact of terrorism on tourism. To this end, a research model differentiating between short-term and long-term effects of terrorism on tourism is developed and analyzed for the destination Israel using data on tourists from Germany. The results show both short-term and long-term impacts with a time lag between the terrorist event and the beginning of tourism decline of 1 or up to 6 months. An economic influence on the development of tourist arrivals was not detected, but seasonality plays an important role in the relationship between terrorism and tourism.

The purpose of this study was to explore what cultural mentoring looks like in practice in short-term study abroad courses, how frequently instructors engage in cultural mentoring, and what demographic and background variables might predict the extent to which faculty members engage in cultural mentoring. Using data from a survey of 473 faculty members from 72 U.S. colleges and universities who had recently taught short-term study abroad courses, we identified four types of cultural mentoring behaviors – Expectation Setting, Explaining the Host Culture, Exploring Self in Culture, and Facilitating Connections. We also identified key predictors of the frequency with which participants engaged in cultural mentoring, including rank, race/ethnicity, and discipline.

The Impact

The economic purpose of correlation-regression analysis is to determine the possible options for product competitiveness management, as well as an assessment of possible ways to achieve the desired result. The developed model can be used to improve planning and increase the level of product competitiveness. The forecast of results, though for the short term, gives the chance to learn about the prospects of obtaining the appropriate level of competitiveness of products in accordance with the degree of application of the impact on it. The forecast is dynamic and adapts to changes based on the latest data. The proposed model can be integrated into the existing decision support system to increase the competitiveness of products. In addition, correlation-regression analysis makes it possible to estimate the current situation using a regression equation. The mathematical reflection of the study of product competitiveness is the economic-mathematical model, which determines its functioning and assessment of changes in its effectiveness in the event of possible changes in the characteristics of economic activity. The parameters of economic models are estimated using the methods of mathematical statistics according to real statistical information. The task of correlation-regression analysis is to construct and analysis of the economic-mathematical model of the regression equation (correlation equation, which reflects the dependence of the resultant feature on several factor features and gives an estimate of the degree of connection density. Using data on the magnitude and direction of action of the analyzed factors, you can get the data that can be obtained to assess the relevant impact on the current level of product competitiveness. That is, such an analysis is a powerful and flexible tool for studying the relationships between product competitiveness indicators. The use of this method makes it possible to better understanding of the level of influence of factors on the competitiveness of products, and, accordingly, learn to manage the processes that take place, as well as more accurately predict their further interaction. These studies are important for the formation and implementation of management decisions to increase the competitiveness of products, because it narrows the choice of indicators with the greatest impact on its level. The ability to determine short-term forecasting of such impacts makes it possible to determine regional perspectives under the conditions of implemented measures.

Abstract Using data collected between 2004 and 2008 from the National Politics Studies, this study explores the impact of race on the likelihood of attending worship settings that provide supportive services for and preach sermons about immigrants. It also considers the degree to which attending such worship settings associate with the perceptions that Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics hold of immigrants. We find that while Hispanics are more likely than Whites and Blacks to attend such “immigrant-conscious” congregations, attending such congregations more strongly correlates with Whites rejecting anti-immigrant frames and accepting positive frames than is the case for Blacks and Hispanics.

This paper examines how labor market fluctuations around the time of retirement affect the labor force status and Social Security receipt of individuals ages 55 to 69 and the income of retirees in their 70s, using data from the March Current Population Survey, Census, and American Community Surveys. We find that workers are more likely to leave the labor force, to collect Social Security earlier, and to have lower Social Security income when they face a recession near retirement. The impact is greatest for the less-educated, who are more susceptible to job loss and rely more heavily on Social Security.

The Impact

Using data from a nearly comprehensive set of the world’s electoral democracies, 1992–2014, this article empirically evaluates the impact of presidentialism upon legislative fragmentation. The analysis demonstrates that the impact is strong, consistent across a wide variety of political contexts, and conditioned by the type of presidential regime, the scope of presidential powers, electoral system effects, and essential party system properties. While much of the reasoning regarding the interplay between presidentialism and legislative fragmentation has been traditionally focused on short-term coattail effects of presidential elections, this study shows that these effects are real, but they are insufficient to make a significant impact upon the parameter of crucial importance for the functioning of presidential regimes: the number of parties in the legislature. The main impact of presidentialism is systemic, stemming from its tendency to restrict the number of parties to a limited set of viable competitors for the presidential prize.

Educational interventions are a promising way to shift individual behaviorstowards Sustainability. Yet as this research confirms, the standard fare ofeducation, declarative knowledge, does not work. This study statisticallyanalyzes the impact of an intervention designed and implemented in Mexicousing the *Educating for Sustainability (EfS) *framework which focuses onimparting procedural and subjective knowledge about waste throughinnovative pedagogy. Using data from three different rounds of surveys wewere able to confirm 1) the importance of subjective and proceduralknowledge for Sustainable behavior in a new context, 2) the effectivenessof the *EfS* framework and 3) the importance of *changing* subjectiveknowledge for changing behavior. Yet, while the impact was significant inthe short term, one year later most if not all of those gains hadevaporated. Interventions targeted at subjective knowledge will work, butmore research is needed on how to make behavior change for Sustainabilitydurable.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected most parts of society, one of which is the MSME household. Although various assistance has been addressed to this sector in the short term, a long-term strategy through digital financial inclusion is needed to reduce the vulnerability of MSME households to falling into poverty in the long term. Using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey 2014, this study investigates the impact of digital finan-cial inclusion on the vulnerability of MSME households in Indonesia and in East Java. The OLS and 2SLS analysis shows that digital financial inclusion helped reduce the poverty vulnerability of MSME households significantly. Further logistic regression analysis also shows that the reduction of poverty vulnerability occurred both in the risk-induced and structural vulnerabilities. Based on the findings, this study recommends policy stakeholders to formulate a digital financial inclusion strategy as one of the alternative policies for poverty alleviation in Indonesia.
