Social media risk and governance : managing enterprise risk
\"In a recent survey, 71 percent of executives polled said their company was concerned about the possible risks posed by social media, but 59 percent do not perform a social media risk assessment. This book is a comprehensive, practical guide to the components and considerations that make up a social media governance strategy, spanning both external communications channels such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, as well as enterprise social networks within an organization. Phil Mennie, PwC's Global Social Media Risk and Governance leader, addresses key issues such as policy evaluation and planning, information security and fraud risks, how to respond to a crisis and how to archive data. The book empowers professional users of social networks to collaborate with their compliance and risk management counterparts, and to harness the power of social media safely and successfully for their organization\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Effect of Unemployment Benefits on the Duration of Unemployment Insurance Receipt: New Evidence from a Regression Kink Design in Missouri, 2003-2013
We provide new evidence on the effect of the unemployment insurance (UI) weekly benefit amount on unemployment insurance spells based on administrative data from the state of Missouri covering the period 2003-2013. Identification comes from a regression kink design that exploits the quasi-experimental variation around the kink in the UI benefit schedule. We find that UI durations are more responsive to benefit levels during the recession and its aftermath, with an elasticity between 0.65 and 0.9 as compared to about 0.35 pre-recession.

Earnings, Disposable Income, and Consumption of Allowed and Rejected Disability Insurance Applicants
Two key questions in thinking about the size and growth of the disability insurance program are to what extent it discourages work, and how valuable the insurance is to individuals and families. These questions motivate our paper. We begin by describing the earnings, disposable income, and consumption of awarded and rejected DI applicants, before and after the disability onset and the allowance decision. Next, we discuss how these descriptive results can be interpreted through the lens of alternative empirical approaches. Our analysis uses a Norwegian population panel data set with detailed information about every individual and household.

Recall Expectations and Duration Dependence
Using novel administrative data from Austria, we investigate the nature of temporary layoffs and recalls. We find that on average jobs ending in temporary layoffs lasted shorter but paid higher wages. The majority of temporarily laid-off workers return to their previous employer, but also one-fifth of those permanently laid-off are recalled. Compared to job switchers, recalls have shorter unemployment spells and do not experience wage losses. Negative duration dependence of unemployment only appears once recall exits are excluded for temporary and permanent layoffs. However, for temporary layoffs, the aggregate pattern masks significant heterogeneity by pre-unemployment tenure. Additional survey evidence suggests a lower average search level for temporary layoffs.

Veterans' Labor Force Participation: What Role Does the VA's Disability Compensation Program Play?
We explore time trends in the labor force participation of veterans and non-veterans and investigate whether they are consistent with a rising role for the Department of Veterans Affairs' Disability Compensation (DC) program, which pays benefits to veterans with service-connected disabilities and has grown rapidly since 2000. Using 35 years of March CPS data, we find that veterans' labor force participation declined over time in a way that coincides closely with DC growth and that veterans have become more sensitive to economic shocks. Our findings suggest that DC program growth has contributed to recent declines in veterans' labor force participation.

Financing Long-Term Services and Supports-and the Challenge of Underlying Assumptions
Since the Pepper Commission (1990) proposed a national insurance program to finance long-term services and supports (LTSS), policy makers, insurers, providers, consumer advocates, and researchers have struggled with several underlying assumptions that affect its nature, scope, and political
viability: whether LTSS is a medical or functional-quality-of-life issue; if all people or just older adults should be covered; whether the program should mandate participation or be voluntary; and if the program should be funded at the national level or left to the states.

Time for a Change: The COVID-19 Nursing Home Disaster and the Urgency of LTSS Reform
The horrific death rate of nursing home residents due to COVID-19 has exposed the nation's long-standing failure to effectively manage public policies toward long-term services and supports (LTSS). Government agencies’ dereliction in the enforcement of quality standards in nursing homes has been most visible. But equally important are provider payment policies that discriminate against people with low incomes, dependence on under-paid direct care workers or unpaid family caregivers, and—most broadly— underfinancing of LTSS that leaves people of all ages at risk of impoverishment and inadeqate care. These risks will only grow as the population ages. The Biden Administration and the Congress have an opportunity to capitalize on heightened public awareness with significant policy and management reforms. In the short term, that means not only the exercise of federal oversight authority to assure quality but also the enhancement of federal funding (through Medicaid) made contingent on adequate wages and support for direct care workers and auditable delivery of quality care—whether delivered in the nursing home or in the community. Over the longer term, enactment of a national program of social insurance is essential to address the LTSS risks and uncertainties facing people of all ages and assuring that, regardless of the state they live in, people receive the care they need.
