TL;DR: It is found that health care expenditure does not appear to be income (GDP) elastic, however, the results do not appears to be robust to changes in the time periods and countries included.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first is to analyse the statistical relationship between real health care expenditure per capita and aggregate income, public share in finance, age-dependency ratio and inflation. The second purpose deals with methodological problems involved in pooling health care expenditure data. The empirical work is based on pooled cross-sectional, time-series data for 22 OECD countries from 1972 to 1987. Public finance share and inflation were found to be associated with lower per capita health care expenditure. No consistent correlation was found between the age-dependency ratio and health care expenditure. Contrary to results of earlier studies, we found that health care expenditure does not appear to be income (GDP) elastic. However, the results do not appear to be robust to changes in the time periods and countries included.

TL;DR: This paper investigated the extent to which money attitudes relate to emotional intelligence and found that high levels of EI imply a less pronounced orientation toward money and a greater sense of economic self-efficacy.
Abstract: As the notion of money tends to be imbued with salient emotions, it is plausible that emotional intelligence (EI) has a bearing on the efficacy to cope with emotion-eliciting issues involving money. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the extent to which money attitudes relate to EI. The study included a sample of 212 respondents who filled out a questionnaire with items of the Money Attitude Scale (MAS) developed by Yamauchi and Templer (1982). The questionnaire further contained a test of EI performance consisting of judging emotions in facial expressions, and of self-report measures considered to be subscales of EI. Results suggested that high levels of EI imply a less pronounced orientation toward money and a greater sense of economic self-efficacy. Furthermore, money orientation seemed to be linked to worse adjustment of work vs. family/leisure time.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of age diversity on firm performance among international firms was investigated and it was shown that age diversity among employees will influence firm performance, based on the resource-based view of the firm, and two contextual variables such as market diversification and its country of origin.
Abstract: This study tests the effect of age diversity on firm performance among international firms. Based on the resource-based view of the firm, it argues that age diversity among employees will influence firm performance. Moreover, it argues that two contextual variables—a firm's level of market diversification and its country of origin—influence the relationship between age diversity and firm performance. By testing relevant hypotheses in a major emerging economy, that is, the People's Republic of China, this study finds a significant and positive effect of age diversity and a significant interactive effect between age diversity and firm strategy on profitability. We also find a significant relationship between age diversity and firm profitability for firms from Western societies, but not for firms from East Asian societies. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of this study's findings. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize necessary conditions for socially responsible investors to impact firm behavior in a setting in which firm production generates social costs and is subject to financing constraints, and propose a micro-founded ESG metric to capture not only a firm's social status quo but also the counterfactual social costs produced in the absence of socially responsible investor.
Abstract: We characterize necessary conditions for socially responsible investors to impact firm behavior in a setting in which firm production generates social costs and is subject to financing constraints. Impact requires a broad mandate, in that socially responsible investors need to internalize social costs irrespective of whether they are investors in a given firm. Impact is optimally achieved by enabling a scale increase for clean production. Socially responsible and financial investors are complementary: jointly they can achieve higher surplus than either investor type alone. When socially responsible capital is scarce, it should be allocated based on a social profitability index (SPI). This micro-founded ESG metric captures not only a firm’s social status quo but also the counterfactual social costs produced in the absence of socially responsible investors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify general dimensions of agential variation in three areas: in the constitution of agents, in how agents are put together/what agents are made of; in their programs of actions, i.e. the motives, interests and/or functions ascribed to agents; and in what market agents are capable of.
