Cost Savings and Reduced Health Care Utilization Associated with Participation in a Digital Diabetes Prevention Program in an Adult Workforce Population by Cynthia Castro Sweet, Carolyn Bradner Jasik, Amy Diebold, Ashley DuPuis, Bryan Jendretzke

“…Differences in utilization and costs from the year prior to program delivery through 1 year after enrollment were calculated using medical claims data for digital DPP participants compared to a propensity matched cohort in a differences-in-differences model. **Results:** At 1 year, the digital DPP population had a reduction in all-cause health care spend of US$1169 per participant relative to the comparison group (_P_ = 0.01), with US$699 of that savings coming from reduced inpatient spend (_P_ = 0.001). …”

Why issue green bonds? Examining their dual impact on environmental protection and economic benefits by Di Zhou, Alexios Kythreotis

“…Abstract This article explores two primary questions: first, whether the issuance of green bonds contributes to environmental protection, particularly regarding their performance after the adoption of net-zero emission policies; and second, whether issuers of green bonds can have economic benefits. Using the Difference-in-Differences (DID) model to analyze green and conventional bonds issued from 2013 to 2023, the study finds no significant correlation between green bond issuance and CO2 emissions following net-zero adoption. …”
