  • the Aggregate effects of decentralized knowledge production financial bloggers and information asymmetries in the stock market
    Journal of Communication, 2013
    Co-Authors: Gregory D Saxton, Ashley E Anker
    Abstract:

    New media have markedly enhanced individuals' capacity to produce and disseminate original knowledge; however, the literature has not extensively examined the broad effects of such decentralized production processes. This study thus focuses on a unique context—the stock market—in which it is possible to test the Aggregate Impact of blog-based information production. Using data on 150 top financial bloggers and stock returns from the S&P 500, this study supports the hypothesis that financial blogging activity diminishes harmful information asymmetries between key market investors. This study thus adds to the “media effects” literature, highlights the societal relevance of bloggers, and shows how economic concepts and financial market settings can be employed for powerfully testing communication theories.

  • the personal and national costs of cvd Impacts on income taxes government support payments and gdp due to lost labour force participation
    International Journal of Cardiology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Deborah Schofield, Rupendra N Shrestha, Richard Percival, Megan E Passey, Emily J Callander, Simon Kelly
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background CVD has the ability to interrupt an individual's ability to participate in the labour force, and this can have considerable follow-up on Impacts to both the individual and the state. This study aimed to quantify the personal cost of lost income and the cost to the state from lost income taxation, increased benefit payments and lost GDP as a result of early retirement due to CVD in Australians aged 45–64 in 2009. Methods Cross-sectional analysis of the base population of Health&WealthMOD, a microsimulation model built on data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers and STINMOD, an income and savings microsimulation model. Results Individuals aged 45 to 64years who have retired early due to CVD have a median value of total weekly income of only $268 whereas those who are employed full time are likely to have almost five times this. The national Aggregate Impact of CVD through the loss of labour force participation amongst 45 to 64year olds, equated to around AU$1.1billion in lost income, $AU225million in lost income taxation revenue, AU$85million in additional government benefit payments, and AU$748million in lost GDP, in 2009 alone. Conclusions The costs of CVD to both individuals and the state are considerable. Whilst individuals bear the economic costs of lost income in addition to the burden of the condition itself, the state Impacts are loss of productivity from reduced workforce participation, lost income taxation revenue, and increasing government support payments — in addition to direct health care costs.

  • the personal and national costs of lost labour force participation due to arthritis an economic study
    BMC Public Health, 2013
    Co-Authors: Deborah Schofield, Rupendra N Shrestha, Richard Percival, Megan E Passey, Emily J Callander, Simon Kelly
    Abstract:

    The costs of arthritis to the individuals and the state are considerable. Cross-sectional analysis of the base population of Health&WealthMOD, a microsimulation model of 45 to 64 year old Australians built on data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers and STINMOD, an income and savings microsimulation model. Individuals aged 45 to 64 years who had retired early due to arthritis had a median value of AU$260 in total weekly income whereas those who were employed full time were likely to average more than five times this. The large national Aggregate Impact of early retirement due to arthritis includes AU$9.4 billion in lost GDP, attributable to arthritis through its Impact on labour force participation. When looking at the ongoing Impact of being out of the labour force those who retired from the labour force early due to arthritis were estimated to have a median value of total savings by the time they are 65 of as little as $300 (for males aged 45–54). This is far lower than the median value of savings for those males aged 45–54 who remained in the labour force full time, who would have an estimated $339 100 of savings at age 65. The costs of arthritis to the individuals and the state are considerable. The Impacts on the state include loss of productivity from reduced workforce participation, lost income taxation revenue, and increased government support payments – in addition to direct health care costs. Individuals bear the economic costs of lost income and the reduction of their savings over the long term.

  • Aggregate implications of firm heterogeneity a nonparametric analysis of monopolistic competition trade models
    Social Science Research Network, 2020
    Co-Authors: Rodrigo Adao, Costas Arkolakis, Sharat Ganapati
    Abstract:

    We measure the role of firm heterogeneity in counterfactual predictions of monopolistic competition trade models without parametric restrictions on the distribution of firm fundamentals. We show that two bilateral elasticity functions are sufficient to nonparametrically compute the counterfactual Aggregate Impact of trade shocks, and recover changes in economic fundamentals from observed data. These functions are identified from two semiparametric gravity equations governing the Impact of bilateral trade costs on the extensive and intensive margins of firm-level exports. Applying our methodology, we estimate elasticity functions that imply an Impact of trade costs on trade flows that falls when more firms serve a market because of smaller extensive margin responses. Compared to a baseline where elasticities are constant, firm heterogeneity amplifies both the gains from trade in countries with more exporter firms and the welfare gains of European market integration in 2003-2012.
