Estimating the US Baseline Distribution of Health Inequalities Across Race, Ethnicity, and Geography for Equity-Informative Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

ObjectivesInformation on how life expectancy, disability-free life expectancy, and quality-adjusted life expectancy varies across equity-relevant subgroups is required to conduct distributional cost-effectiveness analysis. These summary measures are not comprehensively available in the United States, given limitations in nationally representative data across racial and ethnic groups. MethodsThrough linkage of US national survey data sets and use of Bayesian models to address missing and suppressed mortality data, we estimate health outcomes across 5 racial and ethnic subgroups (non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native, non-Hispanic Asian and Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, and Hispanic). Mortality, disability, and social determinant of health data were combined to estimate sex- and age-based outcomes for equity-relevant subgroups based on race and ethnicity, as well as county-level social vulnerability. ResultsLife expectancy, disability-free life expectancy, and quality-adjusted life expectancy at birth declined from 79.5, 69.4, and 64.3 years, respectively, among the 20% least socially vulnerable (best-off) counties to 76.8, 63.6, and 61.1 years, respectively, among the 20% most socially vulnerable (worst-off) counties. Considering differences across racial and ethnic subgroups, as well as geography, gaps between the best-off (Asian and Pacific Islander; 20% least socially vulnerable counties) and worst-off (American Indian/Alaska Native; 20% most socially vulnerable counties) subgroups were large (17.6 life-years, 20.9 disability-free life-years, and 18.0 quality-adjusted life-years) and increased with age. ConclusionsExisting disparities in health across geographies and racial and ethnic subgroups may lead to distributional differences in the impact of health interventions. Data from this study support routine estimation of equity effects in healthcare decision making, including distributional cost-effectiveness analysis.

The distributive equity and the incentives to the private sector in reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation-plus

Distributive equity substantially impacts the success of reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation-plus (REDD+). Therefore, if more private financing is to be attracted to REDD+, it is necessary to understand the effects of distributive equity on private investors’ decision-making behavior. However, current studies have not examined the effect of distributive equity on the actions of stakeholders, including private investors. This study examines the actions of private investors and landowners under four distributive equity scenarios and their effect on the effectiveness of REDD+ within a theoretical framework that takes into account distributive equity in REDD+. In addition, a numerical illustration is used to compare the differences in the effects of equity preferences in the four scenarios. The results show that stakeholder equity preferences can enhance REDD+ effectiveness, suggesting that equity and effectiveness are not antagonistic. In addition, distributive equity may reduce the utility of private investors in REDD+, thus causing the incentives of the equity preference of private investors to become critical to the REDD+ policy design. Finally, the findings also show that the distributive equity mechanism in REDD+ depends on the spontaneous formation of stakeholders rather than on command-and-control measures. Therefore, compared with other mechanisms, this distributive equity mechanism is more common and more likely to attract private investors.

A Meta-Analysis of Brand Extension Success: The Effects of Parent Brand Equity and Extension Fit

Given the high failure rates of brand extensions, insights into the drivers of brand extension success are critical for marketing practitioners and scholars. Prior research has inferred that parent brand equity and extension fit are the two key success drivers; however, empirical findings are mixed. Drawing on signaling theory, categorization theory, and a large database of 2,134 effect sizes from research spanning 1990–2020, the authors address these mixed findings through a meta-analysis to develop empirical generalizations. The results show that parent brand equity and extension fit positively influence extension success. However, the multifaceted dimensions of these two drivers have differential effects. For example, among the fit dimensions, usage fit has the weakest effect. While the results suggest an overall positive interaction effect between the two drivers, a fine-grained perspective that considers the drivers’ various dimensions reveals differences. For example, brand familiarity appears to have a lower interaction effect with extension fit than the other dimensions of parent brand equity. Furthermore, the authors provide a comprehensive analysis of five groups of moderators: contextual factors (parent brand, extension, communication, and consumer factors) and research method factors. The authors offer managerial and future research implications for the design of brand extension strategies.

Evidence-based strategies to improve the effectiveness of diversity, equity, and inclusion training

ABSTRACT Businesses, government agencies, human services organizations, and academic institutions address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a variety of ways, including training. Yet, little scholarly attention has been paid to the empirical outcomes from DEI training. The purpose of study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a racial equity workshop implemented over five years with community stakeholders and the unique inclusion of a caucus modality that supplements the workshop by learning and practicing racial equity skills. Mixed method results suggest that workshop participants increased their knowledge of race and racism, systemic disparities, and biases. Caucus participants reflected on their values and beliefs and actively applied anti-racism and racial equity skills. Both groups indicated intent to change their behavior and caucus attendees explained how they had already begun behavior changes. With the extant literature, these research findings can assist stakeholders to implement DEI training and foster more equitable decisions and organizations.

Tempering and enabling ambition: how equity is considered in domestic processes preparing NDCs

The considerations of how Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to global climate action under the Paris Agreement are ambitious and fair, or equitable, is expected to guide countries’ decisions with regards to the ambition and priorities of those contributions. This article investigates the equity aspect of the NDCs of four cases (Canada, the EU, Kenya, and South Africa) utilizing a combination of document analysis and expert interviews. It interrogates both the NDC documents themselves and, uniquely, the role of international and domestic equity considerations within the domestic policy processes that led to the formulation of the NDCs. For this, 30 participants and close observers of these processes were interviewed. We find countervailing effects of equity on ambition, with an enabling, or ambition-enhancing, effect resulting from international equity, in that these four Parties show willingness to do more if others do, too. In contrast, tempering effect appears to result from domestic equity concerns, for example with regards to real, perceived, or anticipated adverse distributional impacts of climate action across regions, sectors, and/or societal strata. Political cultures differ across the four case studies, as do the key actors that influence domestic policies and the preparations of NDCs. This paper also demonstrates that research on equity in NDCs can benefit from expanding its scope from the contents of NDC submissions to also examine the underlying decision-making processes, to generate insights that can contribute to future NDCs being both equitable and ambitious.

The impact of corporate digital strategic orientation on innovation output

Given the development of the digital economy, the shift to digitalization is an inevitable direction for corporate strategic planning. This empirical study investigates the impact of corporate digital strategic orientation on innovation output. It also examines the moderating effects of executive equity and compensation incentives on the relationship between corporate digital strategic orientation and innovation output. We selected a sample of Chinese listed companies and adopted the Heckman two-stage and two-stage least square (2 S LS) methods to control for potential endogenous problems. Our findings indicate that corporate digital strategic orientation significantly enhances innovation output. Additionally, we found that executive compensation and equity incentives positively moderate the impact of corporate digital strategic orientation on innovation output, with equity incentives having a greater moderating effect than compensation incentives. Further analysis shows that the impact of corporate digital strategic orientation on innovation output is greater in non-manufacturing industries and non-state-owned enterprises. Our study provides policy insights on how companies can enhance their innovation capability in the digital economy.
