Four elements contributed to the successful adoption of mixed-revenue practices in the organization: the organization’s prior business model; its relationship with the private sector; its programming; and its ethos. Learn more Published Research Health Policy Geographic Variation in Opioid and Heroin Involved Drug Poisoning Mortality Rates Authors: Christopher J. Ruhm An important barrier to formulating effective policies to address the rapid rise in U.S. fatal overdoses is that the specific drugs involved are frequently not identified on death certificates. This analysis supplies improved estimates of state opioid and heroin involved drug fatality rates in 2014, and changes from 2008 to 2014. Learn more Published Research Drug Involvement in Fatal Overdoses Authors: Christopher J. Ruhm Death certificate data from the Multiple Cause of Death (MCOD) files were analyzed to better understand the drug categories most responsible for the increase in fatal overdoses occurring between 1999 and 2014. Statistical adjustment methods were used to account for the understatement in reported drug involvement occurring because death certificates frequently do not specify which drugs were involved in the deaths. Learn more Published Research Economics Macroeconomic Conditions and Opioid Abuse Authors: Christopher J. Ruhm, Alex Hollingsworth, Kosali Simon We examine how deaths and emergency department (ED) visits related to use of opioid analgesics (opioids) and other drugs vary with macroeconomic conditions. As the county unemployment rate increases by one percentage point, the opioid death rate per 100,000 rises by 0.19 (3.6%) and the opioid overdose ED visit rate per 100,000 increases by 0.95 (7.0%).

Bartel, Maya Rossin-Slater, Jenna Stearns, Jane Waldfogel Using difference‐in‐difference and difference‐in‐difference‐in‐difference designs, we study California’s Paid Family Leave (CA‐PFL) program, the first source of government‐provided paid parental leave available to fathers in the Unites States. Relative to the pre‐treatment mean, fathers of infants in California are 46 percent more likely to be on leave when CA‐PFL is available.

Jefferson Ellington, Art Taft The objective of this case is to provide students with a comprehensive case in which they have the opportunity to identify and address the ways a mission-driven organization can spur social entrepreneurship. Learn more Published Research Education How Principal Leadership and Person-Job Fit Are Associated with Teacher Mobility and Attrition Authors: Daniel W. Player, Peter Youngs, Frank Perrone, Erin Grogan While existing studies of teacher retention have attempted to isolate economic and organizational factors that predict teacher turnover, this paper etends the research base by incorporating measures of principal leadership and person-job (P-J) fit. Using data from roughly 3000 teachers from the 2011-12 Schools and Staffing Survey and the 2012-13 Teacher Follow-up Survey, we explore how leadership and P-J fit are associated with teachers’ mobility.

The mechanisms by which citizen, interest group, and business concerns are incorporated into the policymaking process have largely not been updated in over 200 years.

Our model illustrates when spillovers arise from a regulatory channel and when they arise from a channel not previously emphasized: product markets.

The technology had the potential to improve outcomes and decrease costs by serving as an alternative or complement to surgery, radiation therapy, drug delivery, and immunotherapy.
