“Feels Like Being the Stepchild”: Surfacing the Boundaries and Borders in a Dual Language Program
No full textAdult ADHD is Linked to Higher Illicit Drug Use and Prescription Drug Misuse
No full textAdolescents and young adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are more likely than their peers without ADHD to use illicit drugs and misuse prescription drugs. This brief summarizes findings from a study that used data from the National Wellbeing Survey (NWS) to describe differences in lifetime and past-year use of 7 illicit drugs (marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, and hallucinogens) and misuse of 4 categories of prescription medications (opioids, tranquilizers, sedatives, and stimulants) between U.S. adults ages 18-64 with and without self-reported healthcare provider-diagnosed ADHD in 2023. The authors find that adults with ADHD are 1.6 to 3.3 times more likely to report past-year illicit drug use or prescription drug misuse, net of demographic factors
Guidelines for Energy Technology Demonstrations
No full textThis document is intended to provide guidance to companies developing new products, researchers, organizations sponsoring product development, demonstration hosts, resident organizations, and policymakers. The guidelines were prepared to maximize the chances for success of energy technology field demonstrations. Guidance is provided for effective site recruitment, project scoping and design, installation, onsite research, and related work such as public communication and risk management, all in ways that fully engage demonstration hosts
Disability Measures Used in U.S. Federal Surveys Significantly Underreport Disability Status
Get PDFU.S. federal surveys commonly use two question sets to measure disability: the American Community Survey (ACS-6) and the Washington Group Short Set (WG-SS). This data slice uses data from the 2011-2012 National Health Interview Survey to examine the percentage of disabled people captured by these two different survey sets. The authors find that both sets of questions significantly underreport disability statuses that are not directly addressed in their question prompts, including intellectual disability, developmental disability, birth defects, mental health disability, diabetes, and cancer
Nonstationary Heterogeneous Panels with Multiple Structural Changes
Get PDFNonstationary panels have been widely used in empirical studies in macroeconomics and finance. This paper considers multiple structural changes in nonstationary heterogeneous panels with common factors. Kapetanios, Pesaran, Yamagata (2011) showed that unobserved nonstationary factors can be proxied by cross-sectional averages of observable data. This means that unobserved error factors can be treated as additional regressors, and different break points in slopes and error factor loadings can be considered as multiple breaks in linear regression models with panel data. We generalize the least squares approach by Bai and Perron (1998) to nonstationary panels and show that the break points in both slopes and error factor loadings can be consistently estimated for two important cases involving i) nonstationary factors and ii) nonstationary regressors. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to verify the main results in finite samples. Finally, we illustrate our methods with an empirical example examining the effect of international R&D spillovers on domestic total factor productivity in OECD countries. A common break in 1992 is detected and attributed to the acceleration of globalization that began in the early 1990s
