TL;DR: There is little or no evidence of significant inequity in the delivery of health care overall, though in half of the countries, significant pro-rich inequity emerges for physician contacts and in countries with very diverse characteristics regarding access and provider incentives.

TL;DR: In this article, the Stern Review reported a social cost of carbon of over $300/tC, calling for ambitious climate policy, and they conducted a systematic sensitivity analysis of this result on two crucial parameters: the rate of pure time preference and risk aversion.
Abstract: The Stern Review reported a social cost of carbon of over $300/tC, calling for ambitious climate policy. We here conduct a systematic sensitivity analysis of this result on two crucial parameters: the rate of pure time preference, and the rate of risk aversion. We show that the social cost of carbon lies anywhere in between 0 and $120 000/tC. However, if we restrict these two parameters to matching observed behaviour, an expected social cost of carbon of $60/tC results. If we correct this estimate for income differences across the world, the social cost of carbon rises to over $200/tC.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the familiar theoretical distinction between general and specific training to the empirical task of estimating the returns to in-company training, and test for the relative effects of the two types of training on productivity growth.
Abstract: This paper applies the familiar theoretical distinction between general and specific training to the empirical task of estimating the returns to in-company training. Using a firm-level dataset which distinguishes between general and specific training, we test for the relative effects of the two types of training on productivity growth. We find that although general training has a statistically positive effect on productivity growth, no such effect is observable for specific training. This positive effect of general training remains when we control for factors such as changes in work organization and corporate re-structuring, firm size and the initial level of human capital in the enterprise. Moreover, the impact of general training varies positively with the level of capital investment.

TL;DR: This paper presents further international comparisons of progressivity of health care financing systems, modifying the methodology used there and achieving a higher degree of cross-country comparability in variable definitions, and updating and extending the cross-section of countries.
