Health insurance and the supply of entrepreneurs

Article Abstract:

Health insurance portability has no significant effects on transitions from wage-earning to entrepreneurship. Data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics indicate that pensions and life insurance have no significant effects on the transitions of wage-earners with employee-provided health insurance to entrepreneurs compared to their counterparts without insurance. Analysis of the Survey of Income and Program Participation produced substantial errors in the estimates which indicates the negative and positive effects of health insurance on transitions to entrepreneurship.

Stoking the fires? CO2 emissions and economic growth

Article Abstract:

A research study used panel data to present estimates on CO2 emissions and GDP relationships. The estimates, which are used to predict global emissions, reflect a declining marginal propensity to emit (MPE) carbon dioxide in line with an increase of GDP per capita. Global carbon dioxide emissions are expected to increase at a yearly rate of 1.8%. Emissions growth will likely continue due to rapid population and output growth in less-affluent countries with high MPEs.

Should the government provide catastrophic insurance?

Article Abstract:

An increase in the government's coverage of severe illness will not interact dramatically enough with private coverage to increase welfare payments. An analysis of the effects of such broadened public coverage does not indicate that it would have such an impact upon the welfare rolls.
