I enjoyed sharing research links last week, so I'll do it again (and it will be a regular feature from here on). Here's what caught my eye in research this week:
- Sintos conducts a meta-analysis on whether inflation worsens income inequality (answer: inflation has a small effect)
- Miller, Segal, and Spencer look at the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on domestic violence in Los Angeles (open access)
- On a similar note, Bassier et al. look at the impacts of COVID-19 on poverty in South Africa (open access)
- Kim demonstrates a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales of Chinese beer in South Korea (ungated earlier version here)
- Meehan et al. use PISA data for New Zealand to look at the labour market impacts of basic reading and mathematics skills of young people (open access)
- Unsurprisingly, Chopra et al. find that economics studies with statistically insignificant results are perceived by both PhD students and journal editors to be less publishable, of lower quality, less important, and less precisely estimated, than studies with statistically significant results (ungated earlier version here) - but would their study have been published if the results had been statistically insignificant?
