Casino-based cash transfers and fertility among the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina: A time-series analysis
Econ Hum Biol. 2023 Nov 7;51:101315. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2023.101315. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFertility decline remains a key concern among high-income countries. Prior research indicates that income supplementation through unconditional cash transfers (UCT) may correspond with increased fertility. We examine whether a casino-based UCT, in the form of per capita (percap) payments to members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) corresponds with an acute increase in fertility. We use North Carolina vital statistics datasets from 1990 to 2006 and apply time-series analysis methods to examine the relation betwee...

State dependence in immunization and the role of discouragement
Econ Hum Biol. 2023 Nov 7;51:101313. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2023.101313. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigate whether having a child immunized at a prior schedule genuinely increases the likelihood of vaccinating the child at the subsequent schedule. We use longitudinal data from the Growing Up in New Zealand study and apply a dynamic random-effects model that also controls for the initial immunization status. Prior to any covariate-adjusted estimations, our data shows that almost 96% of the children immunized at the previous schedule are also immunized at the subsequent schedule. In comparison, only 29% of children wh...

The effect of hurricanes on mental health over the long term
Econ Hum Biol. 2023 Nov 3;51:101312. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2023.101312. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExisting causal studies examining the impact of hurricanes on health and health-related outcomes typically focus on short-run impacts and specific outcomes associated with physical health. In this paper, I explore the long-term effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the mental health of adults using two individual-level datasets from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics. Difference-in-differences models are used to estimate the long-run causal impact of hurricanes. I compar...

Mental health effects of COVID-19 lockdowns: A Twitter-based analysis
Econ Hum Biol. 2023 Sep 26;51:101307. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2023.101307. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe use a distinctive methodology that leverages a fixed population of Twitter users located in France to gauge the mental health effects of repeated lockdown orders. To do so, we derive from our population a mental health indicator that measures the frequency of words expressing anger, anxiety and sadness. Our indicator did not reveal a statistically significant mental health response during the first lockdown, while the second lockdown triggered a sharp and persistent deterioration in all three emotions. Our estimates also ...
