Allowing For Changes in Policy Effects Over Time: A Dynamic Specification In econometric modeling, it is important to control for confounding factors or variables that are correlated with both the dependent and the independent variable. Failure to control for such factors can eliminate or cast doubt on the internal validity of the estimates. In the case of the difference-in-difference approach, it is important to consider whether a policy has a differential effect on an outcome over time. If so, country-specific time trends may make it difficult to disentangle the effects of pre-existing trends and the effects of the policy intervention. Huang et al. point out that their “estimated impact of GWLs on smoking rates is the average impact over the 2001 to 2009 period. The impact of GWLs may erode over time as smokers become inured to the labels and the novelty of the GWLs wear[s] off. Future studies could improve our analyses by accounting for other tobacco control policies and other factors that could influence smoking rates in Canada and the USA” (2014, i11). As argued by Justin Wolfers, “any reduced-form or structural analysis that assumes an immediate constant response to a policy shock may be mis-specified if actual dynamics are more complex than a simple series break” (2006, p. 1807). That is, a single variable indicating implementation of graphic warning labels (namely, GWL*PostGWL as shown in equation (1) in the article) would not capture the effects of the policy over time (i.e., short-run vs long-run). Therefore, we estimate a modified version of equation (1) to allow the GWL impact to vary over time, and estimate equation (B1) using the non-logged trend instead: 8 (B1) ln(푆푚표푘푛푔푅푎푡푒) = 훼 + 훽1퐶푎푛푎푑푎 + 훽2퐶푎푛푎푑푎 ∗ 푃푟푒퐺푊퐿푂푛푒푡표퐹표푢푟 + 훽3퐶푎푛푎푑푎 ∗ 푃푟푒퐺푊퐿퐹푣푒푡표퐸푔ℎ푡 + 훽4퐶푎푛푎푑푎 ∗ 푌푒푎푟표푓퐺푊퐿 + 훽5퐶푎푛푎푑푎 ∗ 푃표푠푡퐺푊퐿푂푛푒푡표퐹표푢푟 + 훽6퐶푎푛푎푑푎 ∗ 푃표푠푡퐺푊퐿퐹푣푒푡표퐸푔ℎ푡 + 훽7(푙푛퐸푥푐푠푒 푇푎푥 표푟 푃푟푐푒 퐼푛푑푒푥) + 훽8푀표푛푡ℎ푙푦푇푟푒푛푑 + 훽9퐶푎푛푎푑푎 ∗ 푀표푛푡ℎ푙푦푇푟푒푛푑 + 푒푟푟표푟 Equation (B1) includes lead and lag variables for the policy (henceforth we refer to it as the dynamic model) to identify the policy response function.

  • Prayerbook 2014
    THE RULE OF THE IONA COMMUNITY MEMBERS Our five-fold Rule calls us to 1. Daily prayer and Bible-reading 2. Sharing and accounting for the use of our resources, including money 3. Planning and accounting for the use of our time 4. Action for Justice and Peace in society 5. Meeting with and accounting to each other. Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commitment We believe: 1 that the Gospel commands us to seek peace founded on justice and that costly reconciliation is at the heart of the Gospel; 2 that work for justice, peace and an equitable society is a matter of extreme urgency; 3 that God has given us partnership as stewards of creation and that we have a responsibility to live in a right relationship with the whole of God’s creation; 4 that, handled with integrity, creation can provide for the needs of all, but not for the greed which leads to injustice and inequality, and endangers life on earth; 5 that everyone should have the quality and dignity of a full life that requires adequate physical, social and political opportunity, without the oppression of poverty, injustice and fear; 6 that social and political action leading to justice for all people and encouraged by prayer and discussion is a vital work of the Church at all levels; 1 7 that the use or threatened use of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction is theologically and morally indefensible and that opposition to their existence is an imperative of the Christian faith.
