摘要：
population expansion has long been known to induce technological change in the agricultural sector, enabling the accommodation of larger populatons without greater resource requirements. the current situation is singular, in that the population will continue to expand over the coming century in the face of ongoing fertility decline. this will result in substantial increases in the dependent population, at the same time that there is a reduction in the supply of labour. what does this imply for global food security? we demonstrate in an endogenous growth model how this combination of peak population and declining fertility could result in technological regression in agriculture, due to the myriad pressures on the labor supply. and then we discuss the nature of the technological innovation required in order to reverse this effect.

摘要：
are people born moral (人之初,性本善?)? recent literature shows that they may not be, but rather seek to feel moral. in particular, decision environments can influence observed morality. in a series of studies, we demonstrate that risk embedded in decision outcomes can serve as excuses for selfishness, irrespective of whether outcomes result in benefits or losses. the extent of excuse-driven behaviors varies widely and depends on various factors, such as one’s own risk preferences and the perceived risk preferences of others. a self-signaling model can account for this heterogeneity. additionally, we show that the results observed in a non-strategic setting (i.e., dictator games) are applicable to an interpersonal strategic setting (i.e., public good games). it also appears that people hold relatively accurate beliefs about others’ excuse-driven behavior. finally, we demonstrate that insurance plays an important role beyond being a standard risk management tool. specifically, we need to be cautious when promoting insurance policies targeting individual risks when there is a clear trade-off between self-interest and the interests of others, as it could potentially erode morality.

摘要：
as a result of rising labor mobility in china, a growing number of individuals reside in places other than their parents' place. upon retirement, elderly parents have the option of residing with their adult children away from them. however, with location-based public health insurance in china, these elderly did not have health insurance coverage in their children's residential places. the expansion of insurance coverage in 2017 allowed a direct settlement reimbursement method for inter-provincial inpatient expenses incurred in provinces where they did not initially have insurance coverage. this paper studies the effect of the 2017 reform on the health of senior immigrants. this study employs data from the china health and retirement longitudinal study (charls) and utilizes the proportion of tertiary hospitals that established inter-provincial direct settlement systems following the 2017 reform as an exogenous variation in a triple-difference setting. our analysis reveals that the reform has resulted in a positive impact on the ability of older individuals to perform daily activities and a decrement in total out-of-pocket inpatient expenditures. this study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by analyzing the impact of the expanding health insurance network on the health status of elderly migrants.
