the new full time employment taxes
Tax Policy and the Economy, 2015Co-Authors: Casey B MulliganAbstract:Executive SummaryThe Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduces or expands taxes on incomes and full-time employment, beginning in 2014. The purpose of this paper is to characterize the new full-time employment taxes from the perspective of a household budget constraint, measure their magnitude, and assess their likely consequences for employee work schedules. When the ACA is fully implemented, full-time employment taxes will be prevalent and often as large as what workers can earn in five hours of work per week, 52 weeks per year. The economic significance of the ACA’s full-time employment taxes varies by Demographic Group: they are nonmonotonic in age, increasing with family size, and negatively correlated with schooling.A full-time employment tax is a tax or penalty owed by, or subsidy withheld from, a person as a consequence of his full-time employment status. For the first time in 2014, millions of people face such taxes on their full-time work. More workers will face full-time employment taxes in 2015 whe...

sheltering in place and domestic violence evidence from calls for service during covid 19
Journal of Public Economics, 2020Co-Authors: Emily Leslie, Riley WilsonAbstract:The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an economic slowdown as more people practice social distancing and shelter at home. The increase in family isolation, unemployment, and economic stress has the potential to increase domestic violence. We document the pandemic's impact on police calls for service for domestic violence. The pandemic increased domestic violence calls by 7.5% during March through May of 2020, with effects concentrated during the first five weeks after social distancing began. The increase in reported domestic violence incidents began before official stay-at-home orders were mandated. It is not driven by any particular Demographic Group but does appear to be driven by households without a previous history of domestic violence.

sheltering in place and domestic violence evidence from calls for service during covid 19
Social Science Research Network, 2020Co-Authors: Emily Leslie, Riley WilsonAbstract:The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a worldwide economic slowdown as more people practice social distancing and shelter at home. The increase in time families spend in isolation, unemployment, and economic stress have the potential to increase domestic violence. In this paper, we document the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on police calls for service for domestic violence. The pandemic and accompanying public health response led to a 10.2 percent increase in domestic violence calls. The increase in reported domestic violence incidents begins before official stay-at-home orders were put into place, is not driven by any particular Demographic Group, but does appear to be driven by households without a prior history of domestic violence.

does credit scoring produce a disparate impact
Real Estate Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Robert B Avery, Kenneth P Brevoort, Glenn B CannerAbstract:The widespread use of credit scoring in the underwriting and pricing of mortgage and consumer credit has raised concerns that the use of these scores may unfairly disadvantage minority populations. A specific concern has been that the independent variables that comprise these models may have a disparate impact on these Demographic Groups. By "disparate impact" we mean that a variable's predictive power might arise not from its ability to predict future performance within any Demographic Group, but rather from acting as a surrogate for Group membership. Using a unique source of data that combines a nationally representative sample of credit bureau records with Demographic information from the Social Security Administration and a Demographic information company, we examine the extent to which credit history scores may have such a disparate impact. Our examination yields no evidence of disparate impact by race (or ethnicity) or gender. However, we do find evidence of limited disparate impact by age, in which the use of variables related to an individual's credit history appear to lower the credit scores of older individuals and increase them for the young.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

isupport do social networking sites have a role to play in concussion awareness
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2010Co-Authors: Osman Hassan Ahmed, John S Sullivan, Anthony G Schneiders, Paul MccroryAbstract:Purpose. The Facebook web site is an exceptionally fast-growing social networking site (SNS) containing membership Groups with discussion boards on a wide variety of issues. This study uses content analysis to scrutinise postings on Facebook Groups related to concussion and examine the purpose of these postings.Method. 472 Facebook Groups related to concussion were screened by three researchers using a specifically developed coding scheme to examine Demographic information and the purpose of the posting. In those cases where agreement was not obtained, post-analysis discussion allowed consensus to be reached.Results. From the 17 Facebook Groups which met the inclusion criteria, 145 postings were included for analysis. The predominant Demographic Group which posted on the Facebook discussion boards were North American males. In the main part, individuals utilised the Facebook Group to relate personal experiences of concussion (65%), although it was also used to seek (8%) or offer advice (2%). Supporting qu...
