The insurance model posits that legislators from a specific political party create courts when they foresee a decrease in their political influence. We develop an application to administrative courts. While the traditional insurance version of the model is about present safeguards against future losses from losing political power, the application is about present safeguards against future losses caused by a potentially disloyal bureaucracy. We test the insurance model with the case of Mexico. Mexican states created 32 administrative courts in the period 1974 to 2017. Two characteristics make Mexico an unusual case. First, states created each of these courts in different time periods. Second, states exhibit significant variance in political cycles. Our empirical findings are largely consistent with the application (dealing with disloyal bureaucracy), but not with the more traditional version (preventing losses from changes in power).

Young people today will face greater challenges than their predecessors when it comes to financing their economic security in old age. The objective of this work is to establish the relationship, from the perspective of university students, between their expectations of financial planning for retirement and the attitudes and beliefs that promote it. The structural equations method was used to confirm the validity of the construct and the relationship between the variables. The study was developed with a sample of undergraduate students from the National Technological Institute of Mexico in Celaya. Self-perceived financial awareness, future outlook, and parental influence were found to significantly, directly, and positively impact financial expectations for retirement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The demographic transition that Mexico is going through will impose great challenges on this nation, since it is projected that the number of older adults will increase significantly in the coming decades. The economic security of this age group is one of those challenges that could be faced through the financial planning that people have carried out at opportune moments throughout their lives. Method: This research is quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational. Using four multiple linear regression models, the relationship between the expectations of financial planning for retirement, self-perceived financial knowledge for the retirement stage, clarity of financial goals in the retirement stage, future outlook and influence was analyzed. For this, the questionnaire designed by Koposko, Bojórquez, Pérez and Hershey were used, which consists of five latent variables measured through 16 items with a seven-point Likert scale and which was previously validated in the context in which it was applied in this research. The questionnaire was applied to a nonprobabilistic sample of parents of new university students from the departments of Industrial Engineering and Economic-Administrative Sciences of the National Technological Institute of Mexico in Celaya. Results: Expectations of financial planning for retirement depend on self-perceived financial knowledge and this, in turn, on the clarity of financial goals in the retirement stage. On the other hand, the prospect of the future determines the clarity of financial goals in the retirement stage. The influence of the parents of the participants in this research, on the other hand, positively impacts the perspective of the future. Discussion or Conclusion: Some of the findings of this research coincide with the existing literature, however, it is necessary to deepen the study of this model in different contexts and with other age groups so that it is possible to contribute to the promotion of financial planning for retirement. considering the influence that fathers and mothers exert in this regard, since in this way economic security could be promoted in old age.

This paper studies the labor market effects of the most significant public health insurance expansion in the Americas: Mexico's Seguro Popular (SP). To identify its impact, I exploit the staggered rollout of SP across municipalities. I find that SP increases labor supply by reducing the likelihood of informal workers exiting the labor market. This reduction is driven by women, who experience a 15% decrease in the probability of transitioning from informal employment to inactivity. I also find that this reduction is concentrated among female secondary earners residing in households with dependents. These findings suggest that SP may operate through a novel channel, namely that health insurance enables caregivers to continue working by reducing health shocks among dependents.
