Understanding Inequalities in Ride-Hailing Services Through Simulations.

Despite the potential of ride-hailing services to democratize the labor market, they are often accused of fostering unfair working conditions and low wages. This paper investigates the effect of algorithm design decisions on wage inequality in ride-hailing platforms. We create a simplified city environment where taxis serve passengers to emulate a working week in a worker's life.

The role of parenthood in shaping the gender wage gap - A comparative analysis of 26 European countries.

We use cross-national data on 26 EU countries to estimate how parenthood contributes to the gender wage gap, and assess how institutional elements affect this relationship. We find that irrespective of cultural norms and policies, fathers receive a wage premium, which increases the gender gap. Motherhood gaps vary across countries.

Reduced user fees for antibiotics under age 5 in Hungary: Effect on antibiotic use and imbalances in the implementation.

Objectives: In August 2016, new prescription guidelines were introduced in Hungary to reduce the co-payments for antibiotics among children aged 0-4. This study aims at analysing the implementation of this policy and its effect on the use of antibiotics.

Methods: The analysis is based on administrative prescription records between January 2010-February 2018, covering the entire population of Hungary aged 0-7.

Which preferences associate with school performance?-Lessons from an exploratory study with university students.

Success in life is determined to a large extent by school performance so it is important to understand the effect of the factors that influence it. In this exploratory study, in addition to cognitive abilities, we attempt to link measures of preferences with outcomes of school performance. We measured in an incentivized way risk, time, social and competitive preferences and cognitive abilities of university students to look for associations between these measures and two important academic outcome measures: exam results and GPA.
