OBJECTIVE—Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death by disease in U.S. Diabetes also contributes to higher rates morbidity—people with diabetes are at risk for heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, extremity amputations, and other chronic conditions. The objectives this study were 1) estimate direct medical indirect productivity-related costs attributable 2) calculate compare total per capita expenditures people without diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Medical estimated...
We present a summary of the campaign remote observations that supported European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across globe (and in space) followed comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from before Rosetta's arrival until nearly end mission September 2016. These provided essential data for planning, large-scale context information coma and tails beyond spacecraft, way to directly compare 67P with other comets. The revealed be relatively `well behaved' comet, typical Jupiter family...
Rotational spin-up due to outgassing of comet nuclei has been identified as a possible mechanism for considerable mass-loss and splitting. We report search spin changes three large Jupiter-family comets (JFCs): 14P/Wolf, 143P/Kowal-Mrkos, 162P/Siding Spring. None the detectable period changes, we set conservative upper limits 4.2 (14P), 6.6 (143P), 25 (162P) min per orbit. Comparing these results with all eight other JFCs measured rotational deduce that none observed experiences significant...
This paper presents preliminary summary results from a longitudinal study of participants in seven U.S. states during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to standard socio-economic characteristics, we collect data on various economic preference parameters: time, risk, and social preferences, risk perception biases. We pay special attention predictors that are both important drivers distancing potentially malleable susceptible policy levers.We note three findings: (1) demographic...
The debate about the use of fiscal instruments for macroeconomic stabilization has regained prominence in aftermath Great Recession, and experience a monetary union equipped with shock absorbers, such as United States, often been reference. This paper enhances our knowledge degree achieved States through federal budget, providing detailed breakdown different channels. In particular, we investigate relative importance impact system unemployment benefits its extension response to Recession....
This study investigates a potential mechanism to promote coordination. With theoretical guidance using belief-based learning model, we conduct multi-period, binary-choice, and weakest-link laboratory coordination experiment the effect of gradualism - increasing required levels (stakes) contributions slowly over time rather than requiring high level contribution immediately on group performance. We randomly assign subjects three treatments: starting continuing at stake, low stake but jumping...
Astrometric observations performed by the Gaia Follow-Up Network for Solar System Objects (Gaia-FUN-SSO) play a key role in ensuring that moving objects first detected ESA's mission remain recoverable after their discovery. An observation campaign on potentially hazardous asteroid (99 942) Apophis was conducted during asteroid's latest period of visibility, from 12/21/2012 to 5/2/2013, test coordination and evaluate overall performance Gaia-FUN-SSO . The 2732 high quality astrometric...
Abstract Social status and political connections may confer large economic benefits on an individual. Previous studies focused China have examined the relationship between Communist Party membership earnings revealed a positive correlation. However, correlation could be partly or totally spurious. Using data from three surveys spanning decades, we estimate causal effect of Chinese monthly in China. We find that, average, increases wage premium has grown last decades. explore potential causes...
Higher life expectancy and rapidly aging populations have led to the introduction of pension programs in developing countries last two decades. Using a new public policy China, we estimate effects benefits on individual cognition, measured by episodic memory intact mental status, among individuals ages 60 above. We find large significant negative provision cognitive functioning elderly. largest effect program delayed recall, measure implicated neurobiological research as an important...
This paper examines the impact of New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) in China. Exploiting staggered implementation an NRPS policy expansion that began 2009, we use a difference-in-difference approach to study effects introduction pension benefits on health status, behaviors, and healthcare utilization rural Chinese adults age 60 above. The results point three main conclusions. First, addition improvements self-reported health, older with access program experienced significant several important...
Evidence on educational returns and the factors that determine demand for schooling in developing countries is extremely scarce. Building previous studies show individuals underestimating to schooling, we use two surveys from Tanzania estimate both actual perceived subsequently examine what drive individual misperceptions regarding returns. Using OLS instrumental variable methods, find each additional year of increases earnings, average, by 9 11%. We average underestimate 74 79% three are...
