Coverage error optimal confidence intervals for local polynomial regression

Sebastian Calonico et al.

Summary: This paper studies the higher-order inference properties of nonparametric local polynomial regression methods under random sampling. The authors prove expansions for t statistics and coverage error expansions for interval estimators, which hold uniformly and cover estimation of derivatives. They demonstrate that robust bias corrected confidence intervals have the fastest coverage error decay rates in all cases and provide novel bandwidth selectors.

Do Social Pension Schemes Promote the Mental Health of Rural Middle-Aged and Old Residents? Evidence From China

Guochen Pan et al.

Summary: As China's population rapidly ages, the mental health of older rural adults has become a major public health concern. The study findings suggest that the pension scheme not only reduces depressive symptoms among rural residents, but also lowers the prevalence rate of depression. The impact of the pension on depression varies, with female residents, residents in central China, and/or those from lower income households benefiting positively. Additionally, the pension scheme is confirmed to contribute to easing depression through reduced labor supply, improved family support, and increased consumption expenditure.

The Power of Social Pensions: Evidence from China's New Rural Pension Scheme

Wei Huang et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of China's New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) on individuals and finds that among age-eligible individuals, the scheme leads to positive outcomes such as higher household income, improved health, and reduced farmwork. However, for age-ineligible adults, the NRPS does not significantly affect their income, expenditure, or health. No significant evidence is found on the impact of the NRPS on private transfers or health behaviors. These findings provide relevant evidence for the effects of social pensions on individual behaviors and welfare in both developing and developed countries.
