The study found a considerable incidence of under-education and over-education in the labor market. Results show a positive return to under-education and over-education. However, the return to the required level of education is significantly higher than both the undereducation and over-education.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between labor productivity (LP), real wage (RW), and employment (EMP). The main goal is to test different theories of growth and income distribution. The findings indicate a positive two-way association between LP and RW, supporting the induced technical change and efficiency wages theories. Additionally, it is found that EMP is weakly exogenous, suggesting labor constraints in OECD countries.

Summary: Focused on Recife, the fourth most densely populated state capital in Brazil, this study estimates the impact of job accessibility on the probability of being a low-wage worker using a probit model and precise individual residential and job location data. To address endogeneity, an instrumental variable based on the historical railways is considered. The findings suggest that better job accessibility significantly reduces the likelihood of being a low-wage worker, especially for individuals using private vehicles, indicating the importance of spatial location and the shortcomings of the city's public transport system.

Summary: The author constructs a dynamic general equilibrium model to study the interdependence between non-competitive labor and product markets, analyzing the impact of institutions and policies on employment and output. The distribution of income between wages and profits is found to play a key role in the economy's dynamics, with feedback mechanisms linking the two markets identified.

Summary: The study finds differences in employment among foreign- and native-born workers during the COVID-19 epidemic. Immigrant men and women experienced greater declines in employment, but this disadvantage mainly occurred in the initial months of the epidemic. By the fall of 2020, the employment gaps between different races/ethnicities and immigrant statuses were substantially reduced, except for Hispanic immigrant men and women who still faced significant employment gaps with native-born Whites.

Summary: This article examines the impact of labor-market concentration on labor compensation in the US private sector since 2000. The authors differentiate between concentration in local labor markets and local product markets to account for confounding factors. The findings indicate that labor-market concentration has a negative effect on labor compensation, with greater effects observed when product-market concentration is higher or when workers are older.

Summary: Survey data shows that the average salaries of full professors and new college graduates in the U.S. have increased over the past eight years. This paper is the first to study whether the demand for professors is derived from the demand for higher education. By modeling the interactions between the academic labor market and the market for college and university graduates, the authors demonstrate that academic wages are independent of students' earnings.

Despite improved childhood nutrition, family environment, education, and income levels, these advantages have been offset by early-life disease exposure, obesity, and a precarious labor market.

Summary: This study compared prescription trends between single-tablet regimens (STRs) and multiple-tablet regimens (MTRs) for treatment-naive patients with HIV/AIDS following the approval of new STRs. The results showed a significant increase in the use of STRs among patients after the approval, with most treatment-naive patients being prescribed STRs in 2018. Additionally, there was a time lag for prescription trends in non-metropolitan hospitals compared to metropolitan cities. The data provide valuable insights for evaluating national ART regimen prescription patterns.

Summary: Hospital-physician integration has been increasing in recent years, allowing hospitals to share resources and management practices with integrated physicians, leading to an increase in the reported diagnostic severity of patients. Our analysis shows that the integration of a patient's primary care doctor is associated with a 2%-4% increase in coded severity.

Summary: This study examined the seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) uptake among people with disabilities in Korea and found that the uptake rate varied according to disability type and age group. Severe disability was associated with lower vaccination rates in older adults and higher rates in younger age-groups. Policy initiatives targeting the health behaviors of people with disabilities, especially the elderly and those with intellectual, brain, epilepsy, and psychiatric disabilities, are needed to promote SIV uptake.

This study examined the contribution of patient, provider, and other factors to antibiotic prescriptions for acute upper respiratory tract infection. Analyzing data from the Korean National Health Insurance Sample Cohort Database, the results showed that both patient and provider factors influence antibiotic use, with providers having a stronger impact. The findings highlight the importance of regulations targeting both patients and providers in reducing antibiotic consumption.

Summary: Health is positively correlated with education, so it is important to understand the determinants of education. This study examines the influence of genetics on education, specifically investigating whether a person's educational attainment is correlated with their sibling's genetic predisposition score for education. Results show strong evidence of genetic nurture, with a higher genetic predisposition to education in siblings associated with a higher probability of the respondent having a college degree. The findings are robust to alternative measures of educational attainment and different measures of genetic predisposition.
