(1234567890) we know, no study concerning self-employed immigrants. 1 Fairlie (2023) perhaps comes closest, finding that self-employed individuals from ethnic minorities in the US, such as African-Americans and Asians, experienced disproportionate business earnings losses during the pandemic. Nor is there much research available on immigrant self-employment in the wake of the refugee crisis in Europe. ...

... Numerous educational systems, basic education included, have relied on distance learning and digital technologies to an unprecedented degree due to the 2019 corona virus infectious disease (COVID- 19) pandemic (Li et al., 2020). Since the President of the Republic of the Philippines announced in his fifth State of the Nation Address that there would be no face-to-face learning (CNN Philippines, 2020) and the Department of Education stated that schools shall provide and maximize the use of online platforms that do not require physical interactions (DepEd, 2020b), Medina College Grade School deployed the blended onlinemodular distance education. ...

For instance, the impact of free internet access, computer-assisted homework, subsidies for ICT investments in schools or certain educational computer softwares; see, e.g., Bettinger et al. (2022), Malamud et al. (2019), Goolsbee and Guryan (2006), Banerjee et al. (2007) and Roschelle et al. (2016). Haelermans (2017) and Escueta et al. (2020) provide overviews. ...

... Fairlie (2020) destaca que en los primeros tres meses de la pandemia, en Estados Unidos se redujo el número de propietarios activos de empresas en torno a 3.3 millones, lo que supone un aproximado de las firmas que cerraron de forma permanente o temporal. De acuerdo con Fairlie et al. (2022), la disminución de propietarios de empresas rebotó sólo de forma parcial en junio de 2020. Este efecto pudo derivarse de la disminución de las ventas en el país, las cuales cayeron entre 30 y 50 por ciento en la primera fase de la pandemia (Ibid). ...

For example, some students reported digital divide challenges, such as having no internet; others reported anxiety about being essential workers in high-risk locations, such as hospitals, grocery stores, or restaurants (Bosley & Custer, 2021). A report from Bulman and Fairlie (2021) analyzed California's community college system and noted significant drops in enrollment, particularly with Black, Latinx, and first-year students. In a web-based survey conducted at the beginning of the pandemic (April through June 2020), over 20% of community college students who completed the survey noted use of mental health apps (Borghouts et al., 2021). ...
