第1報告(14:00~15:30)
Saisawat Samutpradit 氏(大阪大学)Me After You: Labor Supply and Household Adjustments to Elderly Death in a Developing Economy
Abstract:
In developing countries, many elderly individuals continue working into old age because of limited old-age support, a phenomenon known as "ceaseless toil" (Davis, 1991). As a result, the death of an elderly household member may trigger important economic adjustments even at older ages. This study examines the consequences of death in this setting using the Townsend Thai Household Survey. Using an event-study framework, we find that death has substantial economic consequences even at older ages, with pronounced asymmetric labor supply responses by sex: while widows who become household head remain economically active, widowers tend to withdraw from the labor force, a pattern consistent with differences in comparative advantage within the household. We also find that adult children are an important source of support for both elderly widows and widowers. Overall, elderly individuals rely primarily on themselves or their children, whereas formal social protection appears to play a more limited role.

大津 優貴 氏(関西学院大学 )Misconduct, Metrics, and Motivation: Incentive-Driven Changes in Policing Behavior
Abstract:
Because managers are responsible for running their organizations in a sound manner, they may be held accountable for supervisory failures when subordinates commit misconduct, which can in turn hinder their chances of promotion. This study reveals that such promotion incentives for public officials can distort organizational performance. Using data from the Japanese police, the analysis investigates how misconduct committed by individual officers affects station-level performance indicators, such as the number of arrests and the clearance rate. The results show that when a disciplinary action within a police station is publicly announced, the police station’s performance improves during that year. This improvement is not driven by changes in the behavior of the disciplined officers or citizens, but rather by the promotion incentives of the police station chief.
