There are many misconceptions about African American health that have subtle and continuing influence on health policy debates. Unfortunately, many of the misconceptions surrounding African American health have an implicit historical dimension, and the usual response for the lack of evidence in support of any myth is that “the data does not exist” to shed full light on the given question. This is unfortunate as there is now a growing body of evidence pertaining to the historical health of the African American population, and this data is currently being used to uncover a number of facts about the historical dynamics of African American health. In this paper, we show that our historical data on the health of African Americans is wholly lacking and at the same time show that one prominent myth about trends in African American health does not stand up to historical investigation. We conclude with a brief note about where this research is headed and what future topics should be explored in African American economic and health history. 相似文献

Summary Chronic daily cannabis use has been shown to have long term harmful health effects, which in turn is expected to reduce labour market productivity. The evidence is less clear on the health impact of less frequent consumption, which is the more typical mode of use, and previous empirical studies fail to find robust evidence of an adverse impact of these modes of use on labour market productivity. This paper attempts to shed some light on this issue by directly estimating the impact of cannabis consumption in the past week and past year on health status using information on prime age individuals living in Australia. We find that cannabis use does reduce self-assessed health status, with the effect of weekly use being of a similar magnitude as smoking cigarettes daily. Moreover, we find evidence of a dose-response relationship in the health impact of cannabis use, with annual use having roughly half the impact of weekly use.Helpful comments on an earlier draft were received from Jan van Ours, Rosalie Pacula, two anonymous referees and participants at the 81st Annual Conference of the Western Economic Association International. 相似文献

One of the ways in which Indonesians have adapted to economic change over recent decades is through permanent and temporary movement within and outside the country. This paper focuses on the effects which the crisis that started in 1997 has had upon population mobility among different groups and in different areas within the country. It begins by summarising the employment effects of the crisis, as indicated by the 1997 and 1998 National Labour Force Surveys. It then uses results from a number of surveys to identify the changes that have occurred in population mobility in Indonesia during the crisis. In particular it looks at the extent and nature of urban to rural movement, and at patterns of movement between Java and the Outer Islands. Although comprehensive data are lacking, it is argued that population mobility has become an important coping mechanism for confronting the crisis. 相似文献

文章以北京市为例,使用1990—2011年北京地区人口结构和商品住宅价格数据,分析该地区人口结构变量对于房价的动态影响。文章发现,北京地区房价受到劳动人口比重、人口城镇化率、第三产业从业人口比重等三个人口结构变量的显著影响。其中,劳动人口比重对于房价的正向影响持续最短;第三产业从业人口比重对于房价的正向影响持续最长,影响力度也是最大;同时,人口结构变量整体对于房价的影响具有长期性。 相似文献

A complex set of historical and contemporary factors (such as racism, poverty and segregation) shape the life experiences, and health outcomes of African-American women. Their place in society and literally the places where they live both determine their health. This article considers whether the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111–148), as amended, signed into law by President Obama on March 30, 2010, can become a viable tool to help address the health needs of African-American women. 相似文献

城镇居民是粮食的净消费者,粮食价格上涨其实际收入将下降。受制于收入水平,城镇低收入人群的各项商品仅能满足基本生活需求,粮食也不例外。当粮食价格上涨其能够获得的粮食及非粮商品将减少,粮食安全将会受到威胁。相对于价格补贴,收入补贴的政策成本更低,补贴资金的使用效率更高,改善城镇不同收入人群间收入差距的效果更好,因而,它是更好的政策选择。就收入补贴而言,等效用补贴又优于等量补贴。 相似文献

本文在一个代表性消费者的偏好中引入了健康,而健康水平受一个随机冲击的影响,在这一假定下我们得到了消费者最优消费以及投资组合问题闭形式的解。模型的解表明,在最优消费路径上边际消费倾向随健康水平期望增长率提高而提高,而随健康水平波动率提高而下降;同时消费者对健康关注程度的提高对于边际消费倾向的影响取决于预期健康水平增长率和波动率的相对大小,这些结果对于解释我国经济转轨时期的消费、储蓄以及财富积累现象具有一定的价值,尤其是对于我国实现经济增长转向依赖于以内部消费需求为主的政策提供了有益的启示。 相似文献

The floods and devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita contributed to socioeconomic instability and psychosocial trauma for the affected communities and populations, significantly for people of limited economic means and persons of color. Though more than 1/3 of the adult population from impacted areas experienced significant psychological distress, few people had access to or received appropriate health or mental health services in the months and years that followed. Community health workers (CHWs)—defined as lay community members whose backgrounds are similar to those for whom they provide such services as culturally relevant health education, individual- and community-level advocacy, and links to the health care system— may represent a particularly promising workforce strategy to increase access to quality mental health services and overcome racial and ethnic disparities in care. In this paper, we briefly review a post-disaster mental health training program for CHWs from the greater New Orleans area. We present preliminary evidence that CHWs remain engaged in addressing post-disaster concerns, and that there is community support for further CHW education. We discuss implications for CHW participation in recovery from future disasters and we highlight the work of Cynthia Carriere, a CHW from the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans. 相似文献

我国人口老龄化态势日益严峻,这必将成为社会保障支出增加的重要推手。文章利用2008—2018年省际面板数据,从老龄化程度、老龄化速度和社会负担三个角度测度人口老龄化,采用系统聚类方法将我国30个省份(不包括西藏和港澳台地区)划分为四类人口老龄化区域,借助固定效应模型深入剖析人口老龄化对社会保障支出水平的影响。研究表明:从全国和四类人口老龄化区域来看,老龄化程度均提升了财政社会保障支出水平和社会保障总支出水平,而老龄化速度则对社会保障支出水平的上升表现为阻碍作用;社会负担促进了全国和四类区域财政社会保障支出水平的提高,但由于各省份经济水平或政策措施的差异,对社会保障总支出水平的影响存在区域间的异质性。 相似文献

人口老龄化与房价——基于中国省级面板数据的分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
文章采用2002-2011年的省级面板数据分析了中国人口年龄结构变化对住房价格的影响及其区域差异。结果发现:老龄化所导致的房价波动滞后于老龄化进程,各年龄阶段人口比例对房价均产生正向影响,但不同年龄阶段在不同区域的解释力度不尽相同。对此实证检验结果,文章认为可以从我国居民的改善性住房需求与投资渠道匮乏、人口家庭结构小型化以及城市集聚效应等方面进行解释,并以前瞻性政策加以应对。 相似文献
