We're on the home stretch of Movember - congratulations to the Centre for Health Economics - Monash Business School MOteam! Great work from Adam Akmal Dzulkipli, Rohan Sweeney & Anthony Scott, growing some very impressive MOustaches as a symbol for better men’s health. The rest of the team (Terence C Cheng, Juliet Sagar, Samia Badji & Paula Wilton) have been running, walking and swimming 60km for the 60 men lost to suicide globally, every hour. Their efforts have raised just over $1500 so far to impact men’s health both locally and globally. There's still time to donate, or just check out the team page: https://lnkd.in/gpUWucMi

🎓 New #CHEWorkingPaper presents PERM (Parameter Estimation by Raw Moments), a method that lets us estimate how policies shape inequality by extending standard empirical tools to averages of polynomial transformations of the outcomes. Using this method, the paper shows how a Swedish school reform reduced education gaps but increased earnings dispersion. Neat method for anyone studying distributional effects! 📊 STATA implementation included with staggered DiD implementation: https://lnkd.in/gwDbmHGN Read in full: https://lnkd.in/gjSzpE3w Dennis Petrie Gawain Heckley (Lund University)

🎉 Proud to see Jessica Arnup's PhD work published in Economics of Education Review! The study explores how students' educational expectations respond to economic downturns, with important implications for their future economic trajectories. Using PISA data from 38 OECD countries across 2003-2018, we find that when the economy is weak, students lower their educational expectations, spend less time on homework 📚, arrive late to school more often ⏰, and are less likely to participate in extra academic programs. The effects are especially pronounced among students with below-average test scores. For these students, the perceived returns to further education may seem too low during economic downturns and the costs too high. Nicole Black, Centre for Health Economics - Monash Business School

For the final of our November seminar series, this week we welcome Prof Dame Carol Propper (Imperial College London & Monash Business School) who will present: "The Role of Top Managers in the Public Sector: Evidence from the English NHS" Governments have reformed public services by adopting private sector governance models that grant top directors greater autonomy, responsibility for meeting key targets, and performance-based rewards. We examine a central plank of this approach--that directors can impact the organizations they run--in the context of English public hospitals, complex organizations with multi-million turnover. Our findings reveal little evidence that top directors affect hospital production, although pay differentials suggest they are perceived as distinct by the market. The results question the effectiveness of blindly mimicking the private sector to bring about improvements in public sector performance.

Something is sprouting here at Centre for Health Economics - Monash Business School! Join Anthony Scott, Rohan Sweeney & Adam Akmal Dzulkipli who are growing MOustaches, while Samia Badji, Terence C Cheng, Juliet Sagar & Paula Wilton make a MOve for Movember. The campaign is so much more than growing facial hair and everyone can be involved. It’s about supporting the men in our lives we care about to lead healthier, longer lives.

Would you return to work after a health crisis? Your education could be the deciding factor... Experiencing a severe illness can adversely affect people’s health and their ability to work. A new study from Centre for Health Economics - Monash Business School uncovers how illness impacts people’s health, work, and income, and investigates how the effects vary across education groups: while people’s health status recovers similarly across all education levels after they become ill, their work circumstances are quite different.
