摘要：
The onset and unprecedented scope of the COVID-19 pandemic has raised great concern about global health. The Chinese government has made a great effort to contain the pandemic and deliver medical services to infected people. However, healthcare accessibility for uninfected people may have been negatively affected. Exploiting the staggered expansion of COVID-19 and an administrative data set from a public service platform in a big city in China, this paper empirically examines the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on healthcare accessibility. The results show that the COVID-19 outbreak decreased healthcare accessibility significantly, and the negative impact has lasted for about 3 weeks. The number of requests for medical services increased by 76% during the first week of the COVID-19 outbreak and by 60% during the second week. This paper provides evidence on the cost of the COVID-19 outbreak and has policy implications for the prevention and control of COVID-19 and other similar communicable diseases.

Are non-left-behind children really not left behind? The impact of village migration on the health outcomes of non-left-behind children in rural China（非留守儿童真的非留守吗？村庄外出比例对非留守儿童健康的影响）

摘要：
Previous studies have typically found that parental migration affects the children left behind but have ignored the spillover effects of the proportion of village migration on non-left-behind children. This article examines how village migration affects non-left-behind children’s health outcomes. The results from an instrumental variable analysis show a sizable adverse effect of exposure to village migration on the health outcomes of non-left-behind children. When the effect of village migration is ignored, the relative impact of parental migration on left-behind children is overestimated by 7.5-8.5% and the net impact is underestimated by 50-60%. We examine the role of unhealthy peers, poor parental health behaviors, poor village healthcare infrastructure, and unbalanced human capital structure at the village level.

Does the current caregiver meet the parents’ expectations? ——Intergenerational interactions and informal care to the elderly
(照料提供者是否符合父母期望？——代际互动和对老年人的非正式照料)
主讲人简介：

摘要：
Much of the considerable attention has been devoted to the issue of caregiving behaviors from the perspective of the characteristics of caregivers, but few have documented the gap between the expectations on the caregivers and their realization. Using panel data from the four waves of the nationally representative China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we describe the characteristics of expected and current caregivers of people who experienced functional impairment during 2011 and 2018. Result suggests that 39.0% of the functionally impaired respondents have at least one actual caregiver who met their earlier expectations. Our findings support the exchange motivation theory in a way that when people are healthy, they expect children who have more intergenerational interactions with them in the current year to become the primary caregiver in the future. When they become functionally impaired in the following years, children who enjoyed their help with taking care of grandchildren are more likely to provide care to parents in return. Children with higher socioeconomic status are more likely to be regarded as a future caregiver but their chances of becoming an actual caregiver are not higher, providing weak evidence to the intra-family comparative advantage theory.

摘要：
The policy agenda set by the central government relies on the implementation by local governments. We depict how this policy transmission mechanism works using textual analysis on central and local government working reports. We find that policy paths exhibit a history-dependency that manifests into a cohort effect: local officials who take office in the same year focus on a similar set of policies that are uniquely related to the central government policies around their appointed years. Our results suggest that (1) local governors’ policy path is largely shaped by the economic and political conditions in their initial years, and (2) central economic policies transmit better with newly appointed officials, especially when the new local official comes from a provincial, rather than a local, government institution. We find supporting evidence when applying our policy path dependence theory to the Supply-Side Structural Reform episode starting from 2015.
