  • Reimagining Work Post COVID | Who's Responsible?: Business, Government and Philanthropy
    Events at Stanford - 18:47 Oct 28, 2021
    Date: Monday, November 1, 2021. 6:30 PM. Location: By zoom As the COVID-19 pandemic raged, some business leaders saw it as their responsibility to help their workers in these unprecedented and trying times. Others welcomed the intervention of governments and the charity of philanthropists. The roles and responsibilities ascribed to business, government, and philanthropy in caring for individuals is a foundational debate within the U.S. and Western democracies. While the form of this debate has changed with the times, the underlying question remains the same: who is responsible? On Monday, November 1, Professor Brian Lowery talks about the responsibility of business, government, and philanthropy to provide for people’s welfare with Aisha Nyandoro, CEO of Springboard to Opportunities and William E. Spriggs, Chief Economist at the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization, the largest federation of unions in the United States. Throughout the Fall Quarter, the Leadership for Society pro...
  • Latecomer State Formation: Political Geography and Capacity Failure in Latin America
    Events at Stanford - 18:46 Oct 28, 2021
    Date: Friday, October 29, 2021. 1:30 PM. Location: LIVE-STREAMED HERE Latin American governments systematically fail to provide the key public goods for their societies to prosper. Sebastián Mazzuca argues this is because nineteenth-century Latin American state formation occurred in a period when commerce, rather than war, was the key driver forging countries. Latin American leaders pursued the benefits of international trade at the cost of long-term liabilities built into the countries they forged, notably patrimonial administrations and dysfunctional regional combinations. Sebastián L. Mazzuca graduated in Political Science (MA, PhD) and Economics (MA) from the University of California at Berkeley and has been a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University’s Academy for International and Area Studies. His work focuses on state formation, regime change, and economic development. On state formation, he published the book Latecomer State Formation: Political Geography and Capacity Failure in Latin America with Ya...

  • Provider Payment Reform in China: Evidence from the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) Implementation
    Events at Stanford - 19:41 Oct 27, 2021
    Date: Thursday, October 28, 2021. 5:30 PM. Location: Via Zoom Webinar Register: https://bit.ly/2YXJwkl This paper investigates the impact of China’s reform of the system for medical payments from traditional fee-for-service to prospective payment in the form of diagnosis-related group. The paper explores comprehensive aspects of the reform, taking advantage of a large-scale administrative data set from a pilot city in China. It finds that medical expenditure per admission dropped by 7.3 percent, with greater impact on patients who spent a larger amount. To better understand the changes, further decompositions find that the expenditure reduction is fully explained by reduction in the quantity of services instead of using cheaper ones, and by reduction in the use of drugs but not reduction in other types of services, including examination, treatment, and nursing care. In addition, no evidence is found on quality deterioration or behavioral responses, including upcoding and cream skimming. Hospitals maintained t...

The Hasidic community in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn is famously one of the most separatist, intensely religious, and politically savvy groups of people in the entire United States.

  • Global Mortality Consequences of Climate Change: Implications for Asia
    Events at Stanford - 19:38 Oct 27, 2021
    Date: Tuesday, November 16, 2021. 4:00 PM. Location: Via Zoom Webinar Register: https://bit.ly/3DAaPA7 Tamma Carleton, Assistant Professor, Environmental Economics, Climate Change, University of California, Santa Barbara Jiacan Yuan, Associate Professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Fudan University   Designing effective climate change mitigation and adaptation policies requires comprehensive assessment of the projected damages from climate change. However,  current climate policy is informed by outdated models lacking empirical grounding. In this talk, we use subnational mortality records across 40 countries to generate data-driven estimates of the global mortality consequences of climate change. We show that both extreme cold and extreme heat raise mortality rates, especially for the elderly, the poor, and populations that experience these extremes infrequently. These heterogeneous nonlinear responses to warming lead to highly differentiated projected impacts of climate change across the globe. In th...
