On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
There is ongoing debate regarding the impact of economic recessions on health outcomes. Additionally, prior research yields conflicting results on whether economic recessions widen the health disparity between highly educated and less educated individuals. I investigate this issue by examining the Great Recession and double-dip recessions using cross-classified multilevel models. Using longitudinal data from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) in 29 countries from 2005 to 2015, the results provide robust evidence that, on the whole, the Great Recession and the double-dip recession widened the health gap between the low-educated and the high-educated. On the other hand, the results show that austerity measures have narrowed the health gap between the high and low educated.
