Abstract:
... Zero-dose prevalence refers to children who failed to receive any routine vaccination. Little is known about the “immunisation cascade” in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), defined as how children move from zero dose to full immunisation.Using data from national surveys carried out in 92 LMICs since 2010 and focusing on the four basic vaccines delivered in infancy (BCG, polio, DPT and MCV) ...

This paper uses transaction-level data from a bank to examine the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of credit card refunds. We find that the MPC of credit card refunds is approximately 0.7 for the following ...

Abstract:
... Two major subsidy schemes for small-scale solar panels in Australia, namely feed-in tariffs (FiTs) and the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), have substantial inequity implications. Higher household wealth is associated with larger subsidy receipts for both schemes. Using household-level data up to 2018, we find that the top wealth decile had higher subsidy receipts than any of the bottom ...

Abstract:
... This paper examines whether and how housing market prices affect entrepreneurship activities. To this end, we empirically test the hypothetical collateral channel, exploiting a large-scale household-level survey from China. We find that a higher growth rate of house prices is associated with a higher propensity of being self-employed of a family member. We further find that lower house price volat ...
