Safe at Last? Late Effects of a Mass Immunization Campaign on Households' Economic Insecurity
No full textWe study the effects of receiving immunization from COVID-19 on households' economic insecurity. To provide causal estimates we use a fuzzy regression discontinuity design which takes advantage of the UK's immunization plan. The plan was primarily based on age, granting differential eligibility to proximate cohorts. Our estimated local average treatment effect indicates that the share of households who declared being economically insecure dropped by 41 percentage points among those who received the vaccine due to the eligibility criteria. Using a difference-in-discontinuity design we next document that immunization was more salient for women as well as for large households and those with children. Our results suggest that the mass immunization campaign against COVID-19 had relevant short-run economic effects, well beyond its expected impact on people's health

No full textReplication Data for: Are the effects of terrorism short-lived?
No full textTerrorism elicits strong public reactions immediately after the attack, with important implications for democratic institutions and individual well-being. Are these effects short-lived? We answer this question using a natural experiment design and combining data on terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom with a Continuous Monitoring Survey. We find that heightened risk perceptions and emotional reactions in the wake of deadly attacks do not dissipate in the very short run but are sustained over time and up to 120 days after the attacks. Whereas large-scale attacks cause a long-lasting shift in risk assessments and emotions, the corresponding effect of smaller-scale terrorism incidents appears to subside within one month. Overall, the impact of terrorism does not fade away easily
Replication Data for: Micromotives and macromoves: Political preferences and internal migration in England and Wales
No full textWhen people migrate internally, do they tend to move to locations that reflect their political preferences? To address this question, we combine evidence from a unique panel dataset on population movements across local authority districts in England and Wales (2002-2015) with evidence stemming from individual survey-based data. Our results suggest that political similarity between two districts exerts an important positive effect on their bilateral migration flows. Our results also suggest that political alignment to the district of residence contributes to individuals' sense of belonging and `fitting in', consistent with the existence of a homophily mechanism

Terrorist violence and the fuzzy frontier: national and supranational identities in Britain
No full textWe explore the effect of terrorism on individuals’ perceptions about national identity in the context of Great Britain, where national and supranational identities overlap. We find that exposure to terrorist attacks strengthens identification with Britain but has no effect on identification with its constituent nations. The estimated effects last for about 45 days, but subside over time as the threat fades away. We also find that exposure to terrorism leads to more positive attitudes toward the European Union, providing further support for the emergence of a supranational-unity effect. Overall, our results differ from numerous previous studies on how violence reinforces “hardline beliefs,” exacerbating nativism and “narrow” forms of solidarity (JEL D70; F50; Z10)

Harry Pepper was incredibly active in the sports community in Rossland, and volunteered with soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse, and hockey. He was also an avid Curler and Golfer. He wrote a sports column for the Rossland Miner called “As I See It” and stayed with the newspaper until the building burned down and it subsequently went out of business. On his 60th birthday, he was asked to do a sports column in the Trail Daily Times called “Pepp Talk”
