Effect of Employment Protection on Domestic Violence

This paper finds that California's 2014 Senate Bill 400, which strengthened employment protections for domestic violence victims, led to a 14% increase in intimate partner violence reporting—particularly among Black and Hispanic victims in disadvantaged communities—suggesting that such policies reduce the economic barriers to disclosure and improve engagement with formal institutions without necessarily indicating a rise in actual violence incidence.

Regulatory Paradox and Market Restructuring: Unintended Effects of the Two-Invoice System on Pharmaceutical Prices and Their Micro-Mechanisms

This paper investigates the regulatory paradox where China's Two-Invoice System, intended to lower drug prices, inadvertently caused ex-factory prices to rise by forcing manufacturers to internalize distribution and marketing costs through vertical integration or outsourcing, thereby reshaping the industry's organizational structure and creating new regulatory blind spots.
